There was a shake, but it didn't collapse.

Samsung Lions foreign pitcher Ariel Furado became the winning pitcher with a quality start in his first appearance since transfer. He led the team to a 13-5 victory in the opening game.

Furado started the opening game against Kiwoom at Lions Park in Daegu on the 22nd and gave up eight hits and one out in six innings, including a home run, but blocked it with two runs. Five strikeouts. With a total of 90 pitches, he threw a mixture of up to 148km fastballs, changeups, two-seam, sliders and curves.




Furado was shaken early, sending out runners in every inning until the third inning.

Song Sung-moon, the lead in the first inning, was lightly handled with a fly ball. However, after sending Puig out on the 2nd pitch, he gave up the first run on consecutive hits to Lee Ju-hyeong Cardinez. He allowed a solo home run to left-center while playing a fastball game against rookie Yeo Dong-wook, the lead-off hitter in the second inning when the score was 1-1. That was the end of the loss. Two outs later, Song Sung-moon hit back-to-back, but first baseman Diaz stopped Lee Ju-hyung's fastball with a flexible meatball.

In the third inning, which succeeded in turning the tables at 5-2, he also got a hit from the lead, but after one out, Diaz caught Kim Tae-jin's hitting ball like lightning and erased the crisis with a reverse double play. Even after taking the first three-out in the fourth inning, Samsung's batters scored five points in the fourth inning to make it 10-2, completely stabilizing. He threw two innings in a row in the fifth inning. He had consecutive hits after one out in the sixth inning, but struck out the follow-up Yeo Dong-wook and handled Park Joo-hong with a fly ball to finish the mission.

Even after a bad start that could have been replaced early depending on the flow of the game.




Diaz's successive defense and the Samsung lineup, which burst into a scary 18 hits and 13 points, relieved his shoulders, which had been slightly strengthened against his former team.

Catcher Kang Min-ho, who worked with the battery, said "At first, maybe the player was a little nervous, but the ball was a little high, but I think our team continued pitching a little comfortably when additional points came out. I think that's how you really came out", he explained.

The first game is very important for a transfer pitcher. The first step may determine a season. In that sense, it was a pleasant first win for Samsung, which can be reassured.




After the game, Furado "I think I finished the first game well as I wanted. Although he didn't control his ball well in the beginning, he quickly regained his rhythm and made a quality start, eventually leading to satisfactory resultsRecovering that "Whatever team the opponent is, I will try to do the best I can in every game that I can to bring the team to victory" 'Inning Eater' Furado hung up the first tape well. As the game continued, the possibility of finding stability grew faster.
