Reporter Kim Jin-sung in Gwangju] KIA did not give up on the 5th place. They made a firm commitment to their 16005 fans.
The KIA Tigers won 2-1 at home against the Samsung Lions in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on Aug. 8. It was their second straight win. Remained in sixth place with 68 wins, 67 losses, and two ties. Samsung ended its two-game winning streak. Eighth place with 60 wins, 79 losses and one draw.
KIA rookie Yoon Young-cheol's 10th win fell short. He pitched well with six innings of four-hit ball, five strikeouts and two walks, but couldn't get any help from his offense to get the win. He had eight wins before today, and now has one more to go. He failed to win his first 10 starts.
Samsung starter Taylor Widener also pitched well. He went seven innings, allowing one run on six hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. However, after Widener went down, the bullpen faltered in the eighth inning and gave up the game-winning run.
KIA stole second base in the bottom of the fourth after Socrates Brito drew a one-out walk. Lee Woo-sung followed with an infield single to deep center field. Lee struck out, but Han Jun-soo led off the inning with a single.
Samsung fought back in the top of the sixth. Ryu Ji-hyuk led off with a double to right-center field. Ahn Joo-hyung failed to lay down a sacrifice bunt, and Koo Ja-uk retired the side on a strikeout. Kang Min-ho then tied the game with a single to right field. 카지노사이트
Kia finally broke through in the bottom of the eighth. With Widener down, the bats came alive. Leadoff hitter Kim Sun-bin singled to left field. One out later, Lee Woo-sung hit a double down the first base line. Lee Chang-jin was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Kim Tae-gun hit a sacrifice fly to right-center off Lee Jae-ik. The ball was actually not deep, but Choi Jung-yong, the third baseman, had a good start and speed.
Refusing to give up on a fifth-place finish, KIA sent down Yoon Young-chul, followed by Kim Dae-yoo, Yoon Jung-hyun, and Jeon Sang-hyun, and brought up Jung Hae-young to close out the game in the ninth inning. Jeong got out of a bases-loaded jam without giving up a run, earning his 20th save of the season. Twenty saves for the third consecutive year. On the same day, KIA also held a welcome ceremony for the 2024 rookies.
