He was humiliated by the most runs (10 runs and 9 earned runs) in his life. He was also publicly criticized by the head coach by saying, `Take responsibility as an ace.

Even after entering June, it was not easy to get myself together.

Like Park Se-woong, he reflected on his initial intention. It went up step by step. First, I filled five episodes. He allowed four runs in six innings in two consecutive games.




And the match against the KIA Tigers on the 27th. Finally, he scored one run in six innings. It is a quality start in six games (more than six innings and less than three earned runs).

As the first inning continued to be sluggish, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung jokingly said, `Do you want to throw it from the second inning? He also used an opener.

When the first inning of the problem was neatly passed by three-way withdrawal, things went smoothly. He only gave up one walk until the third inning, and blocked KIA's batting line without a hit.




He gave up the first run in the fourth inning. With two outs and a runner on first base, first baseman Kim Do-young penetrated home when Na Sung-bum doubled to left-center. However, he blocked the follow-up well and cut it to one point.

The batting lineup also helped the ace. He lightened his shoulders by winning five points in the fourth inning, two points in the fifth inning, and four points in the sixth inning.

Park Se-woong struck out Kim Do-young in the top of the fifth inning with the bases loaded with one out and handled Choi Hyung-woo with a fly ball to center field to overcome the crisis. In the sixth inning, the crisis continued with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, but he finished his mission by catching Park Chan-ho with a fly ball.




Catcher Son Sung-bin said, "(Park) Se-woong's fastball was good today, so I tried to use it a lot. I wanted to lead aggressively rather than avoid it. I think blocking well in the fifth inning led to a good result"I was delighted.

What would Park Se-woong think. He said "The coach helped me recall my form when I was good at the beginning of the game. After that, the overall game management and results flowed in a positive trend.

"There was a crisis, but I was able to throw comfortably because I scored a lot of points in the lineup. (Son) I want to say thank you for running the game as SUNG BIN gave the autograph and leading to a good result," he stressed.

He also reflected on the fact that there were many walks in the previous game. Park Se-woong is paying a lot of attention. Four walks are quite unfortunate again today, but I think it will be very important to improve this part"He held himself together.

"I'm quite happy that the quality start set the stage for the team to win. I will do my best to help the team as I am today."
