The Lotte Giants have won three consecutive games. However, the head coach first recalled the upset priest.
Lotte won the second game of the regular season 4-2 against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park on the 3rd.
There was a fierce pitching battle throughout the whole time. Hanwha pitched well with two runs in seven innings with ace Ponce striking out 10. It is the second consecutive game of QS+ (QS+, starting 7 innings or more and 3 earned runs or less).
Lotte's fifth starter Na Kyun-an also pitched well in five ⅓ innings. For Na Kyun-an, it became the first game to throw more than five innings in 346 days since the KT Wiz match on April 21, 2024.
He replaced Na Kyun-an, who had 98 pitches in the sixth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases. The winning pitcher flew away as the next batter, Hanwha Lee Jin-young's double and Choi Jae-hoon's infield ground ball tied the score 2-2.

Lotte closer Kim Won-joong caused a full base crisis with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, but he took a breather by catching the last batter, Floral, with a pitcher ground ball. It was his second save this season.
Manager Kim Tae-hyung's first words were Na Kyun-an. He said "I'm sorry that Na Kyun-an threw well today, but I couldn't protect the victory."
"Even in the cold weather, all the Tuta players were able to win because they did well without losing their concentration even in a difficult game."Thank you to the fans who came to support even in Daejeon from afar."
