Samsung, which got off to a fresh start by blocking Furado with three miscues in the top of the first inning. As soon as the start of the first inning began, Koo Ja-wook saved the atmosphere with a huge play. He hit a slow-rolling hit to center field, and he thought it would be a single, but Koo Ja-wook used his fast feet to run to second base to make a 'middle double'.

The Samsung bench, which instructed Kim to bunt for the first run, made a hit instead of a sacrifice bunt. With no outs and runners on the first and third bases, KT has a fatal scene here. Ryu Ji-hyuk hit an ordinary shortstop ground ball. A situation in which third base runners are allowed to score and can be prevented by a double play. However, shortstop Kwon Dong-jin was in a hurry and could not catch the ball, and the runner lived and lost a point.

KT starter Ko Young-pyo, who was exhausted, gave up a walk to Diaz and even allowed Kang Min-ho to hit a sacrifice fly. On top of that, while Diaz, who is on the first and third bases, stole the second base, third baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk made an additional point with a sensible base run that penetrates home.

Furado continued to display good pitching. Ko Young-pyo also did his best until the third inning to avoid losing any more runs. But it collapsed in the fourth inning. A double by Jeon Byung-woo and a hit by Kim Young-woong are on the verge of second and third bases with no outs. He overcame the crisis by striking out Lee Sung-kyu. Lee Sung-kyu stopped the bat while swinging, but coach Park Jin-man protested because the center declared a swing and miss, but nothing changed. The atmosphere almost subsided, but Lee Jae-hyun, who had been sluggish recently, hit a decisive two-run timely hit to revive the atmosphere again.

Samsung tried to score an extra point without being relieved even with five points, but failed to take advantage of the chance to play third base with one out in the fifth inning. However, the game was completely over in the seventh inning. Diaz hit a two-run double, Kang Min-ho hit a two-run timely hit, and Lee Sung-kyu hit a two-run triple in succession against KT's changed pitcher Choi Dong-hwan, widening the gap to 11 points. KT had no choice but to throw a towel.




Samsung did not slow down the reins in the bottom of the eighth inning and made a solid wedge with Diaz's timely hit and Kim Jae-sung's sacrifice fly. Diaz's hit was tantamount to KT left fielder Yoo Jun-kyu's error.

Samsung starter Furado won his third victory of the season with two hits, three walks, two strikeouts and no runs in six innings. Even though he had a quality start in eight of the nine games before the game, he was suffering from the bad luck of winning only two games because he was not supported by the batters. How unfair would it have been to record a loss even after eight innings of 11 strikeouts and two runs. However, on this day, the batters gave up 5 points and 12 points in the entire game until they went down to the mound for Furado.

KT starter Ko Young-pyo collapsed with five runs (four earned runs) in four innings, falling into a swamp of four consecutive losses. In April, he made a powerful pitch with a change-up like a harness, and Ko Young-pyo suddenly fell into a turmoil.

KT, which suffered from poor batting performance during the losing streak, suffered a series of losses, but suffered a humiliating defeat due to the team's four hits on the day.
