Kiwoom won 3-1 in the second match of the season against SSG Landers at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 29th. With the victory, Kiwoom won four consecutive games after three consecutive losses in the opening period. In addition, he secured the 'Winning Series' by winning two games first in three consecutive home games against SSG on the weekend. On the other hand, SSG has recently lost two consecutive games.

SSG scored first in the first inning. In the top of the first inning, leadoff hitter Jihoon Choi hit a right-center hit and got on base, and Jung Joon-jae walked and accumulated runners. Park Sung-han struck out at the first and second bases with no outs, and Guillermo Herredia was also field-flyed out, increasing the number of out-counts by two.

Kiwoom, which failed to score an additional point in the subsequent one-out second-base chance, succeeded in turning the tables in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Yang Hyun-jong, the leadoff hitter in the inning, opened the door by walking. Kim Tae-jin struck out swinging, but the number of runners increased as Puig got on base with a ball that hit his body. With one out and runners on first and second bases, first baseman Puig was forced out when Lee Ju-hyung grounded out in front of the first baseman, but second baseman Yang Hyun-jong entered third base.
With two outs and runners on the first and third bases, Kiwoom succeeded in taking away the lead by 2-1 as Cardinez again scored an RBI timely hit that fell in front of left field.

Kiwoom starter Ha Young-min pitched well by blocking SSG's batters with five hits, seven strikeouts, one walk and one run in seven innings.
Kiwoom, which had a one-point lead, had another opportunity in the bottom of the seventh inning. After one out, Puig hit over the second baseman's height against SSG bullpen Lee Eui-woon and took the first base. Lee Joo-hyung's consecutive hits gave runners the first and second bases. Cardinez failed to score an RBI as he was caught by the opponent's center fielder's defense, and Song Sung-moon was also caught with an outfield fly ball with two outs and runners on first and second bases, failing to score another point.

And the much-awaited extra point came in the bottom of the eighth inning. Choi Joo-hwan, the leadoff hitter in the inning, hit a superior solo home run against the SSG must-win group Noh Kyung-eun. The home run allowed Kiwoom to widen the gap by two runs.
Meanwhile, Cardinez set a tie for the most consecutive games in the KBO League history with seven consecutive RBIs since the opening. The previous record is the seventh consecutive game set by Doosan Bears' Kim Jae-hwan in the 2020 season.
As far as foreign batters are limited, Cardinez is a new record. In 2006, then SK Wyverns' Ciotani set an RBI record for five consecutive games, and Cardinez has already exceeded this record. If Cardinez scores an RBI in the match against SSG on the 30th, he will set a new record beyond Kim Jae-hwan.
