Lotte struggled with starting pitcher Park Se-woong throwing 40 pitches in the second inning alone, but stopped six innings with three runs, recording its fourth quality start of the season (more than six innings and less than three earned runs). He won his fifth game (one loss) of the season with his team's victory.

Ryu Hyun-jin of the Hanwha Eagles recorded his first loss of the season (two wins) with four runs in six innings.

Hanwha's batters drove once in the top of the second inning. Leading hitter Noh Si-hwan hit a hit, and Chae Eun-sung High School Lee Jin-young drew consecutive walks. Hanwha's score seemed to fail as Im Jong-chan and Choi Jae-hoon retired with strikeouts and second baseman flies, respectively. However, while Shim Woo-joon hit a ground ball toward the third base, third baseman Son Ho-young threw himself and succeeded in catching the ball, but the third baseman homered as the throw was unstable. The record is an infield hit. An Chi-hong's two-run timely hit later led to a 3-0 run.

Lotte recovered a point in the bottom of the fourth inning. Yoon Dong-hee, who came out as the leadoff hitter, hit Ryu Hyun-jin's high fastball and crossed the left fence. Yoon Dong-hee's second home run of the season.

Lotte, which changed the flow once, succeeded in turning the tables in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Leading hitters Hwang Sung-bin and Yoon Dong-hee hit side by side, and Ko Seung-min's sacrifice bunt made it 1 out and 2nd and 3rd base.

Hanwha loaded the bases by filtering Reyes to four pitches on purpose. However, the follow-up Na Seung-yeop hit Ryu Hyun-jin's changeup to make a right-handed hit, and the score ended up 3-3. Later, Jeon Joon-woo's ground ball sent the third baseman home, and Lotte succeeded in turning the game around 4-3.

Hanwha lowered Ryu Hyun-jin and raised Park Sang-won in the bottom of the seventh inning. Hanwha will end its eight-game winning streak for the first time in the team, which was set up the previous day.

Lotte scored a decisive run in the bottom of the eighth inning. Leadoff hitter Reyes hit a double, and Na Seung-yeop's advance hit gave him a chance to hit third base with one out. Jeon Jun-woo then drew a walk, and Information Geun hit a fly ball to left field. A rather short distance for a third baseman to come home. However, Hanwha left fielder Lee Won-seok's home pitch was inaccurate, and the third baseman homered as he fell next to the catcher. In the process, Jeon Jun-woo, who was aiming from first base to third base, was out, and the inning ended.

Lotte continued its bullpen's good pitching after starter Park Se-woong. After Park Se-woong went down the mound after six innings, Kim Sang-soo (⅓ scoreless), Jung Hyun-soo (⅔ scoreless), Jung Chul-won (⅔ scoreless), and Kim Won-joong (one ⅓ scoreless inning) came up one after another.

After Ryu Hyun-jin, Park Sang-won (⅓ innings scoreless), Kim Bum-soo (0 innings scoreless), Jung Woo-joo (⅔ innings scoreless), and Kim Jong-soo (one scoreless inning) came up in order.
