The Samsung Lions won a sweaty victory over the leader LG Twins by one point.
In the 2023 Shinhan Bank Sol KBO League match against LG held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 15th, Samsung overcame a fierce pursuit and won 6-5.
After ending a two-game losing streak, Samsung maintained its ninth place with a record of 42 wins, 1 draw and 58 losses.
Leading LG ended its 5-game winning streak, recording 61 wins, 2 draws and 36 losses.
Won Tae-in, a native Samsung ace, pitched well with 7 hits and 2 runs in 6 innings, laying the foundation for the team’s victory.
In the first inning, LG gave 2 points, but from the 2nd inning, they continued pitching without a loss. He did not give up a single walk while striking out five.
Won Tae-in won his 5th win (6 losses) of the season with good pitching that day.
LG foreign ace Adam Plutko was shaken with 8 hits, 7 strikeouts and 4 runs (3 earned runs) in 5⅓ innings and became a losing pitcher. This is the 3rd loss of the season (11 wins).
Plutko continued pitching scoreless until the 5th inning, but swallowed the regret by showing a rapid hunting in the 6th inning.
It was LG that took the lead first.
Hong Chang-ki’s double and Shin Min-jae’s sacrifice bunt in the top of the first inning made it 1 out and 3 base, and Kim Hyun-soo hit a right-handed hit at the right time. The follow-up hitter, Austin Dean, hit a double that hit the top of the right fence and brought Kim Hyun-soo home.
Samsung, which had a hard time trying to target LG’s starting Plutco, made up its mind in the 6th inning.
In the bottom of the 6th inning, Kim Dong-jin’s left-handed hit and Kim Hyeon-joon’s and Kim Seong-yoon’s consecutive bunt hits created a chance for the bases loaded safely. The follow-up hitter, Ja-wook Koo, hit the pitcher and deflected it, leading to an infield hit, and the runner on third base scored.
In the ensuing run with bases loaded, third baseman Kim Hyun-joon went home as LG third baseman Moon Bo-kyung’s home throw missed Kang Min-ho’s ground ball.
Afterwards, Ryu Ji-hyuk hit a right-handed hit with 2 RBIs in the bases loaded with 2 outs, and Samsung overturned the game to 4-2.
LG caught up with 1 point in the top of the 7th inning with Hong Chang-ki’s timely left-handed hit from 1 company 1st and 2nd base, but Samsung widened the score again by scoring 2 points in the 8th inning.
In the bottom of the 8th inning, Kang Min-ho, Ryu Ji-hyeok, and Kang Han-wool walked, and Oh Jae-il scored two RBIs and left the bases with one run, leading Samsung to a 6-3 lead.
LG did not back down easily. In the 9th inning, Samsung’s finishing pitcher Oh Seung-hwan was shaken.
In the top of the ninth inning, Moon Sung-joo’s heavy hit and Heo Do-hwan’s right-handed double tied together to make up one point. In the 1st, 1st and 3rd bases, which were followed by Park Hae-min’s hit, Hong Chang-ki’s second base ground ball hit Do-hwan Heo home.
But that was it. Oh Seung-hwan protected Shin Min-jae with a pitcher ground ball and Kim Hyun-soo with a fly to right field to protect the team’s victory.
Oh Seung-hwan scored two runs in one inning and made an embarrassing save. It was his 18th save of the season (3 wins, 4 losses).

Cuevas also did not concede. He struck out pinch hitter Kang Seung-ho and prevented a run.
After Cuevas overcame the crisis, KT succeeded in breaking the balance of ‘0’ against the changed pitcher Park Chi-guk.
At the beginning of the 8th inning, with no runners out, Bae Jeong-dae hit the right hander, and then went to second base due to a catch error by the right fielder.
Then, Kim Min-hyeok hit a triple at the right time in the middle left. Doosan center fielder Jeong Su-bin, who attempted a diving catch, failed to catch the batted ball, leading to a triple.
Kim Min-hyeok tried to reach home, but was blocked by the opponent’s relay play.
KT kept the lead as Park Young-hyun, who took the mound at the end of the 8th inning, made a tripartite inning, and put in Kim Jae-yoon, a finisher in the 9th inning.
