Kiwoom Heroes won all three home matches against KT Wiz.
Kiwoom won 3-1 with starting pitcher Ariel Furado’s performance in 5 innings and 1 run in the last match against KT in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 27th. With this, Kiwoom swept all three home matches this time and recovered the season 11-11 loss and 50% win rate. On the other hand, KT (7 wins, 2 draws, 11 losses) fell into the pit of 6 consecutive losses.
It was definitely Hurado, the starting pitcher that day, who paved the way for a three-game winning streak. He threw as many as 100 balls until the 5th inning, but showed pitching that minimized runs. He had 4 hits, 4 walks, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts and 1 run (visa book). His highest fastball speed was 149 km/h. His change-up mixes a curveball, changeup, and cutter.
Hurado gave up 5 four-balls until the 5th inning, showing faltering control. Still, he does not give a timely hit in a crisis situation and meets the requirements for victory. It was thanks to the effect of inducing ground balls through the cutter and two-seam patsball.
With Hurado guarding the mound, the batters supported the goal at the right time. At the end of the 3rd inning, which was behind by 0-1, Lee Jung-hoo’s assault ball to 1st base hit the glove of KT 1st baseman Park Byeong-ho and bounced to the side to tie the score 1-1. In the continued 1st and 1st and 2nd base chances, 4th hitter Edison Russell hit a 2 RBI double through the middle right.
Kiwoom, who took a 3-1 lead, put in reliever pitchers from the 6th inning to complete the winning equation. Pil Seung-jo, led by Yang Hyun, Ha Young-min, Lim Chang-min, and Kim Jae-woong, all scored one inning without conceding, and won by 2 points. Hurado took the 2nd win (3rd loss) of the season.
In three consecutive home matches against KT,카지노사이트 all Kiwoom starting pitchers reported victories. On the 25th, An Woo-jin pitched 7 scoreless innings, and on the 26th, Eric Yokishi pitched 6 innings and 2 runs. On the 27th, Hura-do joined the ranks of victory and showed off the mighty one-two-three punch.
Kiwoom will move to Sajik Stadium and play three consecutive weekend games against the Lotte Giants from the 28th. On the 28th, right-hander Choi Won-tae will start. Choi Won-tae is also showing good results with 1 win, 0 loss and ERA of 2.16 in 4 games this season. I wonder if Kiwoom, who is gaining strength with ‘starter baseball’, will be able to achieve 4 consecutive wins.
