The Samsung Lions won consecutive games by destroying Furado's starting pitching and Gamboa, who made his debut, with foot baseball.
Samsung won the game against Lotte 7-3 at Lions Park in Daegu on the 27th.
Samsung, which microscopically analyzed the pitching motion of Gamboa, who took the test mound against Samsung in the Futures League on the 21st, came out thoroughly prepared.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man said of Gamboa before the game that `I heard a report that the ball was good. When we judge internally, there are also weaknesses, so we try to dig into some of those weaknesses. I prepared it like that to make young players run a little bit more." It unfolded at the end of the second inning when the scenario was 0-0.
After the first inning of the search, Samsung launched a full-fledged foot baseball in the second inning when it was 0-0.

Kim Ji-chan hit a slow ground ball in front of the pitcher and sprinted all out. Gamboa, who is good at defending, was embarrassed by Kim Ji-chan's quick feet. First run on an infield hit. The first baseman left a slightly short throw back, and while the second baseman threw to the second base during the backup period, third baseman Park Seung-gyu suddenly dug into the groove and 2-0. Subsequent Lee Jae-hyun walked after the game of eight pitches and loaded the bases with two outs again.
Number 3, Kim Sung-yoon at bat. In 2B2S, while Lotte starter Gamboa had a unique pitching routine in which he folded his waist at 90 degrees in the set position and stayed for a long time, third baseman Lee Sung-kyu rushed home like a lightning bolt. Amid the enthusiastic roar of the Rafak crowd, Gam Bo-ah couldn't throw air-conditioning until Lee Sung-kyu slid home.
I made a late apology to catch Kim Ji-chan running from second base to third base, but it was safe. In the meantime, first baseman Lee Jae-hyun also stole second base. It was the moment when the ninth triple steal in KBO League history was completed.

Coach Park Jin-man said after the game that he intended to find a breakthrough with the base line in consideration of the opponent's new foreign pitcher's form through the pre-game power analysis. Coach Park evaluated "Coach Lee Jong-wook made a good judgment on Home Steel and scored a lot of points in the beginning thanks to the players' agile movement."
In his debut, Gamboa threw 89 pitches in four ⅔ innings and became a losing pitcher with four runs with five hits, one walk and two outs. He scored as many as nine strikeouts with a fastball of up to 155km and a high-speed slider and curve of up to 145km, but he was caught up in Samsung's foot baseball in the second inning and allowed four runs.

Samsung ace Furado has won three consecutive games (4 losses) in six innings with eight hits, no four outs, three strikeouts, and one run. He remained atop in this category with his 11th quality start in his 12th start of the season.
It took away the timing by mixing up to 149km fast balls, cutters, changeups, and curves. He sent out runners in every inning except for the fourth inning, but he minimized the crisis with a checker in the first inning and two decisive double plays in the third and sixth innings. Kim Tae-hoon, Bae Chan-seung, Kim Jae-yoon, and Baek Jung-hyun continued to throw to keep the victory.
