It was an unfortunate finish.
The Samsung Lions of professional baseball suffered a 3-8 come-from-behind loss in the final game of the first half against the KIA Tigers at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 4th. Since the match against Suwon KT on the 28th of last month, they have lost five consecutive games and finished the first half in fourth place. Both "finisher" Oh Seung-hwan, who is leading the save alone after Lim Chang-min, failed to block KIA's powerful firepower.
Lim struck out Kim Do-young, the first batter, at the eighth inning with a 3-2 lead, after a full count. After giving up a hit to Na Sung-bum, Choi Hyung-woo's double to right-center allowed the score to tie the game 3-3.
With one out and runners on the second base, he avoided a head-to-head match with foreign batter Socrates Brito. The number of runners on the floor has increased to two. He overpowered Byun Woo-hyuk by striking out swinging and leading pinch hitter Han Jun-su to a fly ball to right field to end the inning.
Oh took the mound in the ninth inning when the game was tying 3-3. Choi Won-joon (strikeout on false swing) and Park Chan-ho (striker fly ball) seemed to be closing the inning with ease. However, Kim Sun-bin's double and Kim Do-young's automatic intentional four pitches made the runners at the first and second bases. Park Jeong-woo, who was Na Sung-bum's pinch runner in the eighth inning, hit Oh's second fork ball to lead to a double that passed the height of the right field. All runners homered, and allowed a come-from-behind 3-5.
Oh gave up one more run after being hit by Hong Jong-pyo. With two outs and a runner on the first base, Oh threw the first pitch to Socrates, but the ball went out of the fence in right-center. On a 3-8. Oh, who had a hit by Byun Woo-hyuk, handed over the mound to left-hander Lee Sang-min.
Lee Sang-min, who has had no run in four consecutive games since being promoted to the top team on April 19, ended the inning by treating Han Jun-su as a foul fly to the first baseman. During the ninth inning of the game, Samsung only had pinch hitter Kim Jae-hyuk at first base after two outs. Samsung lost 3-8 to end the first half of the game with five consecutive losses.
Samsung, which had been considered one of the lowest-ranking players ahead of this season, continued unexpected performance. Samsung has shown an unstoppable upward trajectory, as evidenced by Oh Seung-hwan, who had 24 wins, and Lim Chang-min, who had 20 holds. "We haven't shown good performance lately, but we definitely felt the effect of reinforcing the bullpen this season," coach Park Jin-man said ahead of the game on Wednesday. 메이저놀이터
However, his below-expecting pitching has caused regret in recent months, perhaps due to his lack of physical stamina. The same was true of the game on the day. It was clearly revealed during the five consecutive seasons that the tower could collapse if the back door is sloppy. We just hope that those who play a huge role and weight in the team will complete the recharging through the All Star break and show the prowess of the invincible shield again in the second half of the year.
