He is still 20 years old and a second-year professional pitcher since he finished the league's best. Was the pressure too heavy for the no outs in the eighth inning, one point ahead.

The Doosan Bears faced a nightmare come-from-behind loss. Doosan came from behind to lose 4-7 in the second game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th.

Starter Zachlog pitched well, giving up only one hit until the fourth inning. The crisis with no outs and runners on first and second bases in the fifth inning was also overcome without losing a point.

Although he gave up one run each in the sixth and seventh innings, he came down the mound with the winning pitcher requirements. Except for the first inning, he had a chance to score in each inning, but it was regrettable that the batters scored only three points.

And eventually, I got sick. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop's choice to win the game due to the previous day's defeat was '8th inning Kim Taek-yeon'.

It was too heavy a burden for Kim Taek-yeon of the world. Kim Taek-yeon was shaken from the start by giving up an infield hit to Yoon Dong-hee, the first batter, with a deep ground ball to the left of the shortstop. He then stepped on second base with a wild pitch, and allowed a 3-3 tie when Reyes' subtly hit the glove of Doosan center fielder Jung Soo-bin and became a hit. Lotte's third base coach Ko Young-min turned his arm without hesitation, and Yoon Dong-hee dug home. Doosan shortstop Park Joon-young's throw, who hurriedly picked up the spilled ball, also became a safety when it bounced off catcher Kim Ki-yeon's glove.

He then allowed Na Seung-yeop, the next batter, to make a timely hit. He finished the eighth inning without any additional runs, but he still had the top of the ninth inning.

The first batter Son Ho-young hit the body, and Jeon Min-jae's elaborate sacrifice bunt made it one out and second base. Jang Doo-sung, who endured a full count, was allowed to walk again.

Doosan had no choice but to take out Lee Young-ha's card. Even this has completely collapsed. Lee Young-ha allowed Yoon Dong-hee's RBI double, Kim Min-sung's infield ground ball, Na Seung-yeop's infield hit, and Jeon Joon-woo's left-handed hit in an instant. Before we knew it, the scoreboard was 3 to 7 Lotte leads.

Doosan followed Lotte closer Kim Won-joong by one point in the bottom of the ninth inning, but that was it. It wasn't as disastrous as the day before when five errors were poured out, but Doosan's defense was also sloppy and sloppy on this day, not like 'Winning DNA' and 'Dusan in detail'. And it led directly to defeat.
