In his first appearance, he became a winning pitcher with seven scoreless innings, but after that, he showed sluggish performance in two appearances to become a losing pitcher, and coincidentally, LG lost only those two times and won all the other games to lead the first place. Hernandez had no choice but to put a lot of pressure on him for his next appearance, and that was the match against Samsung on the 15th.
However, Hernandez showed tremendous pitching as if when he was so sluggish. He didn't give up a single hit until the sixth inning. He hit all 17 batters until he got two outs in the top of the sixth inning, perfect pitching. The perfect game was broken when No. 9 Lee Jae-hyun gave a hit ball, but he immediately caught No. 1 Kim Sung-yoon with a foul fly to the third baseman and no-hit.
However, he was suddenly replaced by Kim Jin-sung during the defense in the top of the seventh inning. Until the sixth inning, the number of pitches was 79, and there was still room. It was a pitchman who could challenge the record even if it was not easy until the ninth inning, but it was suddenly replaced, raising curiosity.
As expected, there is something wrong with the body. LG excluded it from protection due to signs of clumping in the front of the right thigh.
However, even after the pitcher changed, Samsung hitters couldn't get a hit. Kim Jin-sung struck out Ryu Ji-hyuk, Koo Ja-wook and Kang Min-ho in the top of the seventh inning, and Park Myung-geun, who came out in the top of the eighth inning, also handled Diaz with catcher foul fly, Kim Heon-gon with a ground ball in front of the pitcher, and pinch hitter Park Byung-ho with a swing and miss.
Hernandez's no-hitter failed, but LG's team no-hitter only had one inning left. It is a rare record that is more difficult to see a team no-hitter than a no-hitter recorded by one pitcher. Because it only came out three times before.
And Jang Hyun-sik, who finished in the top of the ninth inning with a 3-0 lead, did not control well. He allowed consecutive walks to Lee Jae-hyun and Kim Sung-yoon after one loss. Even if it was a three-point difference, the number of runners was accumulating and leading to the top lineup, turning into a situation where winning or losing was important, not a team no-hitter. Ryu Ji-hyuk continued to foul and played a close game with Jang Hyun-sik, and after a full count match, the game was decided in the 11th pitch. a ground ball to the front of the second baseman. Koo Bon-hyuk caught it and tossed it to shortstop Oh Ji-hwan, and it became a double play that led to a stable first baseman Lee Young-bin, and with the victory of 3-0 LG, the fourth team no-hitter record was born.

LG Choi Kyung-chul and Hyun Jae-yoon (against NC on October 6, 2014), SSG Landers Lee Jae-won and Lee Heung-ryeon (against NC on April 2, 2022), and Lotte Son Sung-bin and Information-geun (against SSG on August 6, 2023) have recorded three previous team no-hitters. However, Park Dong-won is the first catcher to collaborate with pitchers alone to set a record.
After the game, Park Dong-won said "I'm so grateful. Thanks to the pitchers' help together, I was able to make a milestone. I'm grateful to the pitchers."
Park Dong-won was thinking of a perfect game. "It reminded me of my old Kelly days as the fifth episode went on. Since then, the atmosphere in the dugout has become heavier" Kelly had a perfect march until the eighth inning of the Jamsil Samsung match on June 25 last year and failed in the KBO league's first perfect game after a hit by leader Yoon Jung-bin in the top of the ninth inning. At that time, the catcher was also Park Dong-won. Park Dong-won said "I heard Hernandez's thighs are not good. It was a shame." The expression that Hernandez's credit was that good.
Park Dong-won was also certain of Hernandez's revival during an interview a few days ago. Isn't Park Dong-won a guaranteed player. Didn't we see each other during the postseason. I have to throw 27 more times, but I'm not going to keep throwing like this." And Hernandez immediately showed a different side.
Then, what was the difference between Hernandez and Hernandez on this day. As expected, it was control. Park Dong-won said, `When I was bad before, the difference between strikes and balls was big. So the batters didn't fall for it"There was not much difference between strikes and balls today. Since all the balls were formed around the strike, it was inevitable for batters to attack. Isn't the ball good originally?" he once again showed faith in Hernandez.
