Lotte's Kim Jin-wook went down the mound after pitching hard with six hits, one walk and two runs (one earned) in five ⅓ innings in his first showdown of the season against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park on the 2nd. It also has requirements for a winning pitcher.
Is it because Lotte's batters exploded for the first time in a long time since the beginning of the game. Kim Jin-wook passed the beginning of the game relatively comfortably. Lotte combined Reyes' ground ball in the top of the first inning, Yoon Dong-hee's first home run of the season in the top of the second inning, Lee Ho-joon's RBI triple, and Jeon Jun-woo's sacrifice fly to run 4-0.
He was hit by leadoff hitter Hwang Young-mook in the bottom of the first inning, but he later cut off the follow-up hit well. He also struck out foreign hitter Floral from Hanwha. He also gave up a hit to Kim Tae-yeon in the second inning, but there was no particular crisis.

However, Lotte scored one run in the top of the fourth inning with Son Ho-young's pushing walk, and the bottom of the fourth inning was the only three-way error of the day.
The bottom of the fifth inning was the biggest crisis for Kim Jin-wook. With a walk to leadoff hitter Lee Jin-young and a hit to Lee Jae-won, he became the first and second base with no outs.
Here, when Shim Woo-joon hit a bunt, Kim Jin-wook himself made a bad pitch error on the first base, making it 2-5, and first and third bases with no outs.
However, Kim Jin-wook was different from the past. Hwang Young-mook struck out and An Chi-hong was doubled to finish the inning without additional runs. After catching Floral, the first batter in the sixth inning, the Lotte bench decided to replace the pitcher.
