Children's Day, which needs to give happiness to children. Therefore, a great sense of responsibility weighs on the shoulders of starting pitchers for Children's Day.
Cole Irvin, who took his first step this season as the ace of the Doosan Bears, presented the victory to 'Durin'.
Cole Irvin started at home against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 5th and recorded four hits, three walks, five strikeouts and one run in six innings, marking his sixth quality start of the season. He led his team to a 5-2 victory and became a winning pitcher, recording his fifth win (2 losses) of the season. His ERA improved to 2.77. Doosan also continued its efforts to escape from the bottom ranks by winning three consecutive games. It is a half-game difference between fifth-place KT and sixth-place SSG and seventh-place KIA with a 1.5-game difference.
On April 30, the previous mound, he regained his ace form by shaking off the disappointment of the game against KT (six runs in six ⅓ innings). And that's the point of Children's Day.
He threw 18 fastballs of up to 151 kilometers and 25 sinkers of up to 149 kilometers, threw 16 changeups, and faced LG's batters with three pitches at the center. In addition to this, he added five sliders, six curves, and six sweepers, and played up to the sixth inning with only 76 balls.
In the top of the first inning, Hong Chang-ki hit the left-handed, but Song Chan-eui was treated with a double play in front of the third baseman. And Cole Irvin, who caught Austin with a fly to right field and finished the first inning, got the lead Moon Bo-kyung on base with a hit ball in the top of the second inning, but struck out Oh Ji-hwan and Moon Jung-bin in a row and caught Koo Bon-hyuk with a fly to right field. In the top of the third inning, he also had a right-handed hit by the front-runner Park Hae-min, but he caught Lee Joo-heon with a foul fly to the first baseman and finished Hong Chang-ki with a double play in front of the shortstop.
The top of the fourth inning was the first scoring crisis. After one out, he walked Austin and hit left-handed by Moon Bo-kyung, and was driven to the first and second bases with one out. Oh Ji-hwan hit a line drive ball toward the shortstop, but shortstop Park Joon-young tried to double play by handling it one-bound. He became safe at first base and became first and third base with two outs, but he caught Moon Jung-bin with a ground ball in front of third base and allowed no runs.

I ended up losing a point in the top of the fifth inning. After allowing a hit to Koo Bon-hyuk and a walk to Park Hae-min, he struck out Lee Joo-heon after failing to sacrifice bunt, but gave up a straight walk to Hong Chang-ki, who was on the verge of loading the bases with one out. Song Chan-eui lost his first point with a sacrifice fly to center field. The match against Austin was important at 2-1, but he caught it with a ground ball in front of the third base to keep the one-run gap. In the top of the sixth inning, he struck out Moon Bo-kyung and Oh Ji-hwan in a row and handled Moon Jung-bin with a fly to center field to finish with his first three-way exit.
On this day, LG fielded five right-handed hitters, including Austin, Song Chan's Moon Jung-bin, Koo Bon-hyuk, and Lee Joo-heon, but failed to produce any results. As such, it should be considered that Cole Irvin's ball power does not discriminate between right-handed and left-handed hitters.
Cole Irvin said after the game, `It feels good that the team can continue its winning streak. I wanted to win even more because it was the first day of the series, which wrapped up a physically difficult nine-game series, and it was Children's Day"I heard from my colleagues about the importance of the Children's Day series. I'm happy to present victory to Durin. Happy Children's Day from the bottom of my heart."
Then "Today's game was won thanks to the fielders' concentration in offense and defense. I want to thank the fielders for their hard work and especially SOOBIN who did a great job todayCole Irvin came down a little early to show a better performance in the next game due to the short break"I thank the fans for their enthusiastic cheers and support. Since childhood, I have dreamed of playing baseball in front of the best fans. I'm really happy to make that dream come true today."
