Plutko, who plays for the Cincinnati Reds' Triple-A team, Louisville Bats, started in an away game against Toledo Mud Hens under the Detroit Tigers on the 29th (Korea time) and was substituted early with five hits (one home run), three walks, one strikeout and four runs in three innings. As the team lost 2-4, Plutko became a losing pitcher. It's the third loss without a win this season. His ERA rose to 7.31.
Plutko, who took the mound with a 1-0 lead, got a right-handed hit by Li Hao-yu, the second, but caught the third gauge walker with a fly to left field to make it two outs. No. 4 Jamai Jones got on base due to a second baseman error. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, he caught No. 5 Akil Badu with a ground ball in front of the shortstop and finished the first inning.
Unfortunately, he allowed a tie in the bottom of the second inning. With two outs and runners on first base, he allowed a superior triple to Riley Unlaw to give up one run. Later, he allowed a walk to No. 1 Parker Meadows, but he caught Li Hao-yu with a fly to right field and prevented further runs.
In the bottom of the third inning, Plutko, who finished with his first three-and-out with an infield grounder and two outfield flies, failed to catch an out count in the bottom of the fourth inning and was substituted for three runs. After giving up a walk to leadoff Andrew Navigato, Bly Madris doubled to right. Nabigato homered, 1-2. Right field error allowed the Madris to advance to third base.
Brian Thurban allowed a two-run shot to left. In 2B2S, the sinker of 88.3 miles (about 142km) fell low on the fifth pitch, which Servern lifted properly and turned into a home run.
Eventually, he was replaced by Zora Sosa.
Flutko was 15-5 with a 2.39 ERA for LG in 2022. He succeeded in renewing his contract by tying for second place with multiple wins and third place in the ERA. In 2023, he ranked second in multiple wins with 11 wins and 1 loss and a 2.21 ERA until the first half of the year, but took only four games in the second half and was unable to take the mound afterwards due to pelvic bone bruises. I wanted him to throw me a Korean series, but Plutko was not sure about his physical condition and eventually chose to break up. LG won the regular league without Plutko and the Korean Series.
After returning to the United States, Flutko had surgery in November and was confirmed to be in bad shape. Plutko, who recovered and signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins last year, has signed with Cincinnati this year.
