Hanwha Eagles won eight consecutive games by changing the club's history.

Hanwha won the away game against the Lotte Giants 6-4 at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 23rd. Hanwha won eight consecutive games and recorded a season record of 15 wins and 11 losses. Lotte lost for the 12th time this season (1 draw and 13 wins).

Hanwha's eight consecutive wins came in about two years since it was achieved against KIA in Daejeon on June 21, 2023 and against Samsung in Daegu on July 1.

Hanwha won its third win (one loss) of the season as starting pitcher Ryan Weiss allowed eight hits, 12 strikeouts and two runs in six innings. As Weiss became a winning pitcher, Hanwha won eight consecutive starts against Kiwoom in Daejeon on the 13th. The first Eagles team to win seven consecutive starts.

At the top of the first inning, the game was virtually added. In the top of the first inning, leadoff hitter Hwang Young-mook got on base due to a second baseman error, and Floral hit and took a chance on the first and third bases with no outs. Later, Moon Hyun-bin hit a ground ball and the third baseman was caught at home, but Roh Si-hwan's timely hit scored the first run. Hanwha, which later loaded the bases with Chae Eun-sung's walk, widened the score to 5-0 with Lee Jin-young's two-run timely hit, Lim Jong-chan's timely hit, and Lee Jae-won's sacrifice fly.

On the other hand, Lotte swallowed its disappointment by striking out three consecutive batters in the bottom of the first inning.

After Weiss, Park Sang-won (two runs in one inning), Han Seung-hyuk (one inning scoreless), and Kim Seo-hyun (one inning scoreless) came up one after another to win.
