As expected, Ryu Hyun-jin came out of his mouth like an exclamation. It even seemed possible because Ryu Hyun-jin was the one who pushed the walk crisis to 3B with the bases loaded with two outs.
Hanwha Eagles ace Ryu Hyun-jin continued his team's winning streak and won three games of the season. Ryu Hyun-jin started in the home game against the LG Twins at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 30th and threw 99 pitches in seven innings, becoming a winning pitcher along with Hwang Young-mook's come-from-behind two-run shot with a quality start plus six hits (one home run), one walk, six strikeouts, and two runs. He is 3-1 with a 3.05 ERA.
Continuing stable pitching, a 145km outside fastball thrown to Park Dong-won in the top of the fifth inning became a tiebreaking solo shot over the right fence. Hanwha's batters also failed to target Chirinos and tied 1-1.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who threw 78 pitches through the sixth inning and reached the top of the seventh inning, was virtually in his first crisis. He got consecutive hits from lead Austin and No. 4 Moon Bo-kyung, and was on the first and third bases with no outs, and allowed Kim Hyun-soo to come from behind 1-2 due to infield hits in shortstop training. Coincidentally, he struck out Kim Hyun-soo in the top of the second inning to achieve his 1,400th strikeout in a personal tally, but he was hit by Kim Hyun-soo.
Oh Ji-hwan's sacrifice bunt and Park Dong-won's automatic four pitches led to the bases loaded with one out. He caught Park Hae-min's ball himself, but failed to double play by throwing it only at the groove because he dropped the ball. He was on the verge of a walk by throwing three consecutive balls to pinch hitter Moon Sung-joo, and after putting a 139km fastball in the center, he threw a 143km fastball to the center on the fifth pitch, which became a ground ball going in front of the shortstop and prevented it without additional runs. And Hwang Young-mook's two-run shot in the bottom of the seventh inning turned the tables, Moon Hyun-bin's solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning and Heo In-seo's double scored two more runs to win 5-2.

Ryu Hyun-jin, whom I met after the game, said "I'm happy to win. It was a pity that the winning streak was cut off in the previous appearance, but I'm glad that I was able to continue the winning streak this time. "Today's pitching was well managed in the beginning, so I was able to throw long innings, and I got one home run, but I think my ball control was good."
What was Ryu Hyun-jin's breakthrough when he was 3B with the bases loaded. Ryu's answer was clear. "There was only one thing in three balls. Let's throw in the middle even if we get a home run. That was the only thing." Rather, such simple thoughts and pitching may be the know-how of the national team ace who has overcome numerous crises.
It has already decreased to 1.5 games with LG, the No. 1 player. The last time Ryu Hyun-jin went to the postseason wearing a Hanwha uniform was in the 2007 playoffs. If he advances to the postseason this year, he will throw in the KBO League's fall baseball for the first time in 18 years.
Ryu Hyun-jin drew the line that it's not time to talk about the postseason yet. "I think it's still too early. I think it would be good to go without a big losing streak at the moment," he said."The selection, middle and finish are well divided now, and everyone is playing a good role. I think it's good for the starters to throw six or seven innings each, allowing the middle pitchers to throw without difficulty."
