Samsung won the home game against the Hanwha Eagles 5-0 at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 4th. Samsung had its seventh win (five losses) of the season.
Ace Won Tae-in, who returned, pitched perfectly.
Won Tae-in, who complained of shoulder pain in last year's Korean Series, returned to the first division after taking the mound against the Doosan Bears on the 29th of last month after completing his rehabilitation process. We got off to a good start. He pitched well with two runs in five innings. At that time, Won Tae-in finished the game with a no-decision match as the lineup exploded late.
Second appearance. Won Tae-in overwhelmed the Hanwha lineup. A situation where the build-up wasn't perfect yet. He scheduled about 90 pitches, but held the mound without allowing just two hits in seven innings.
The maximum fastball speed was 150km, and slider (23), change-up (17), curve (7), and cutter (5) were mixed.
The batters also burst early, lightening Won Tae-in's shoulders. Kim Young-woong hit a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning, and Kang Min-ho's two-run timely hit followed at the bottom of the third inning.

After the game, Samsung coach Park Jin-man praised Won Tae-in, saying, `It was a comfortable game thanks to his best pitching like the most wins last year.'
Coach Park continued "Kang Min-ho gave up a valuable extra run with the bases loaded in the third inning, and Park Byung-ho and Kim Young-woong also hit home runs to lighten Won Tae-in's shoulders."Fielders such as Lee Jae-hyun and Kim Young-woong also showed good defense, which helped Won Tae-in a lot."
Samsung announced left-hander Lee Seung-hyun as its starting pitcher on the 5th. Ryu Hyun-jin will play for Hanwha.
