New fifth starter Kim Dae-woo pitches four scoreless innings of relief, but subsequent pitchers’ errors and batters’ struggles add up to a loss for the Samsung Lions.
In the second game of a three-game midweek series against the NC Dinos at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the evening of July 7, Samsung maintained a tight 0-0 balance until the fifth inning, but after Hong Jung-woo gave up two runs in the sixth inning, the team gave up additional runs in the seventh and eighth innings, resulting in an 0-4 loss.
Even more frustrating than the 메이저사이트 mound was the batting lineup. Samsung’s bats went silent in the scoring column, including three walks, to suffer their first scoreless loss in over a month, since the 11th of last month.
With nine hits, one less than their opponent NC, and no runs scored, Samsung’s inability to score is particularly troubling, with Kang Min-ho and Kim Dong-yeop recording multi-hit games but failing to reach base.
Samsung, who need a win in Game 3 to continue their winning streak following their three-game sweep of Hanwha last weekend, will be without their ace Buchanan, who was originally scheduled to start, due to hand discomfort, and Hwang Dong-jae will start in his place.
Daegu Cultural Broadcasting will broadcast the final game of the midweek three-game series, which will determine the winner of the Winning Series, on radio from 6:15 p.m. on the 8th.
