Choi Hyung-woo takes a batting stance in the first inning against Lotte on the 27th. Choi Hyung-woo hit the final two-run home run in the first inning, jumping to fourth place in KBO league home runs (375).
The joys and sorrows of the KIA Tigers and Lotte Giants, who replaced the head coach ahead of this season, are clearly different. While coach Lee Beom-ho’s KIA won three consecutive games in the opening game, Lotte, led by coach Kim Tae-hyung, fell into a quagmire of four straight losses in the opening season.
KIA won 8-2 in the game against Lotte held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 27th. After winning the opening game against Kiwoom on the 23rd, KIA won all three games until today, following the game against Lotte the day before. KIA’s three consecutive wins in the opening season are nine years since 2015. As of today, KIA is the only team out of 10 that is undefeated. 스포츠 토토사이트
From the first inning, the game tilted towards KIA. In the bottom of the first inning, when the score was tied 0-0, with 2 outs and runners on second base, 4th batter Choi Hyeong-woo pushed the 6th pitch forkball into the center of Lotte starter Na Kyun-an and over the left wall. The distance is 110m. Choi Hyung-woo, who laid the foundation for a comeback victory by hitting a tying solo shot against Lotte the previous day, hit a home run in two consecutive games. Choi Hyung-woo, who hit his 375th home run on this day, surpassed Lee Dae-ho (retired) and jumped to fourth place on the KBO League’s career home run list.
After Choi Hyeong-woo’s home run, KIA continued the opportunity with two outs and first and second bases thanks to a hit by Lee Woo-seong and a ball hit by Kim Sun-bin. At this time, there was a disappointing play from Lotte’s defense. Following the follow-up, Hwang Dae-in hit an ordinary fly ball toward the outfield. However, due to lack of smooth communication between Lotte left fielder Ko Seung-min, center fielder Yoon Dong-hee, and shortstop Noh Jin-hyuk, the ball became a Texas hit, and in the meantime, second base runner Woo-seong Lee hit home. Late, left fielder Ko Seung-min threw the ball home, but even this ball was a one-bound throw, and even first base runner Kim Sun-bin scored. In an instant, the score increased to 4 points. KIA, riding on momentum, went ahead 6-0 with Kim Tae-gun and Park Chan-ho hitting timely hits in succession.
On the mound, foreign pitcher James Nail, who joined the team this year, shined. Nail, who made his regular season debut on this day, threw a fastball with a maximum speed of 150 km/h, a mix of sharp sweepers and changeups, and blocked the Lotte batting line with 5 hits and 1 run in 6 innings. Nail, who started the first inning by striking out three batters in a row, threw only 85 pitches and struck out nine. The only run of the day was a solo home run to Seung-min Ko after one out in the sixth inning.
Lotte, who conceded a large number of goals from the beginning, was unable to use their strength and suffered four consecutive losses in the opening game. Lotte will challenge for its first win against KIA on the 28th by starting 5th starter Lee In-bok. KIA’s starting pitcher is left-handed pitcher Lee Eui-ri.
Doosan defeated KT 11-8 in the Suwon game with 18 hits. Doosan, which went undefeated in exhibition games, got off to a good start in the regular season with 3 wins and 1 loss.
On this day, Doosan defeated Ko Young-pyo, a national team pitcher and KT’s native ace who signed a five-year contract worth 10.7 billion won last winter, from the beginning. Ko Young-pyo, who had recorded more than 20 quality starts (more than 6 innings and 3 or less earned runs as a starter) for 3 consecutive seasons until last year, showed a poor performance on this day, allowing 13 hits and 9 runs in 4 innings. For Doosan, four batters including Soo-bin Jeong, Eui-ji Yang, Jae-hwan Kim, and Seung-ho Kang all had three hits each. KT’s returning foreign hitter Mel Rojas Jr. hit two-run shots and Kang Baek-ho hit a solo shot, but they fell into a swamp of four consecutive losses in the opening game.
Hanwha defeated SSG 3-1 in the Incheon game thanks to starter Sanchez’s excellent pitching, allowing 1 run in 5 and 2/3 innings. Hanwha, which lost in the opening game against LG, won all three games and recorded 3 wins and 1 loss. NC also defeated Kiwoom 6-2 in a home game in Changwon, making it 3 wins and 1 loss. Kiwoom fell into three consecutive losses without a single win. LG and Samsung, who faced each other in Jamsil, Seoul, were unable to decide the winner at 2-2 after a close game that went into overtime in the 12th inning. 안전 슬롯사이트
