Ryu Hyun-jin, who became the winning pitcher at Cheongju Stadium for the first time in 14 years, is smiling brightly during the game against Kiwoom on the 18th.

The ‘monster pitcher’ Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha) we knew is back. The Cheongju game, held for the first time in five years, was that stage.

Ryu Hyun-jin started the home game against Kiwoom held at Cheongju Stadium on the 13th and led the team to a 3-0 victory with a perfect pitch of 8 innings, 5 hits, 4 walks, no walks, 8 strikeouts, and no runs. It was the most innings pitched and the best pitching since returning to his home team, Hanwha, in the major league this season. It has been 14 years since 2010 that Ryu Hyun-jin became the winning pitcher at Cheongju Stadium.  토토사이트 순위

Ryu Hyun-jin, who recently continued his three-game winning streak, lowered his average ERA from 3.75 to 3.38 along with 5 wins (4 losses). Ryu Hyun-jin, who added 8 strikeouts, broke the 1,300 strikeout mark for the 15th time.

Cheongju Stadium, Hanwha's second home stadium, is unfavorable for pitchers as the distance from the home to the fence is only 99.5m on the left and right and 114m in the center. However, even before Ryu Hyun-jin entered the major league, he showed a particularly strong performance at Cheongju Stadium. Before today's game, he pitched in 11 games at Cheongju Stadium and recorded 7 wins, 2 losses, and an average ERA of 3.25. In particular, he has not lost a game since the match against Hyundai on May 23, 2007 until this day. It was in a game against LG held in Cheongju in 2010 that Ryu Hyun-jin struck out 17, the most strikeouts in a game. Ryu Hyun-jin, who added the number of wins with a brilliant pitch that day, continued his 6-game winning streak at Cheongju Stadium over 17 years.

The revenge battle against Kiwoom was also impressive. Ryu Hyun-jin started the game against Kiwoom held at Gocheok Sky Dome on April 5 and collapsed, allowing 9 hits, 2 walks, and 9 runs in 4 1/3 innings. It was the worst pitch of his career.

However, Ryu Hyun-jin today was a world away from then. He overwhelmed Kiwoom hitters by freely throwing fastballs, change-ups, and curves into and out of the body. He recorded 70 strikes out of 101 pitches, focusing on fastballs with a top speed of 149 km/h. In the top of the 8th inning, he had so much power on the ball until the end that he struck out the last batter, Lee Joo-hyung, with a missed swing. 슬롯사이트

His biggest crisis came in the top of the fourth inning. They allowed an infield hit to shortstop to Ronnie Dawson and a missed hit to Kim Hye-seong, reaching first and second base with no outs. However, Ryu Hyun-jin struck out the next batter, Song Seong-min, and got an important out. Soon after, catcher Choi Jae-hoon caught quick runner Kim Hye-seong as a check on first base, lightening Ryu Hyun-jin's shoulders. Ryu Hyun-jin led the next batter, Lee Won-seok, to a ground ball in front of the pitcher and finished the inning without allowing a run.

At bat, No. 9 batter Lee Do-yoon’s bat shone. In the bottom of the second inning, when the score was 0-0, with one out and two on second base, Do-yoon Lee hit a clean, timely first hit that separated the first and second basemen against Kiwoom starter Kim In-beom. Lee Do-yoon hit a left-field hit in the 4th inning with one out and runners on first and second base, creating an opportunity to load the bases. The next batter, Lee Won-seok, hit a sacrifice fly, allowing Hanwha to score one more point. Hanwha scored another run in the bottom of the 7th inning with Hwang Young-mook's sacrifice fly. Hanwha won the Cheongju game held 1742 days after the LG game on September 11, 2019, before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Cheonggu Stadium was full, with all 9,000 tickets sold before the game started. It was Hanwha's 28th home game of the season sold out.

In the Gwangju match between leader KIA and second place LG, KIA won a complete victory, continuing its recent four-game winning streak. KIA took advantage of an error by opposing third baseman Bo-kyung Moon in the bottom of the 5th inning to score 6 runs and win 11-4.

KIA's troubleshooter Choi Hyeong-woo played an active role with 2 hits and 3 RBIs in 4 at-bats, including a sweep double with bases loaded and 2 outs in the bottom of the 5th inning. KIA starting pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong gave up 3 runs in the 5th inning and was forced to leave the team early due to numbness in his elbow, but with the help of the team's batting lineup, he earned his 6th win (3 losses) of the season.

Doosan defeated NC 6-2 at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, led by foreign pitcher Brandon Waddell's fight, and rose to second place. Brandon earned his 7th win (4 losses) by shutting down the NC lineup with 6 hits, no walks, 5 strikeouts, and 1 run in 6 innings. Doosan turned the game around with Kang Seung-ho's 3-run home run in the first inning, then added 3 more runs in the 3rd inning to take the win early.

SSG defeated Samsung 8-3 in an away trip to Daegu, and KT defeated Lotte 6-4. KT recently broke away from a four-game losing streak. 안전 토토사이트
