The foreign ace, who took the mound after 10 days of rest, put the No. 1 team to bed and broke the team's three consecutive losses. It was a perfect return match.
Samsung Lions' Ariel Furado accomplished all of Park Jin-man's wishes.
Furado started in the home game against the Hanwha Eagles at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 25th and won his seventh win (six losses) of the season with four hits (one home run), no four outs, six strikeouts, and one run in seven innings. He also lowered his ERA to 2.87. No. 1 in total innings in the KBO League with 103 ⅓ innings.
It showed the effect of rest properly. Furado, who had seven runs in four ⅓ innings against KT on the 14th, was canceled from the first team the next day and received a 10-day break. And when he returned, manager Park said "Since we had a good rest, our bullpen is having a hard time, so I hope he throws it all by himself." I want you to play a long inning`' delivered a jovial wish.
The rest worked. Even after spraying 103 balls on the day, he certainly had strength.
He added up to 150 kilometers of fastballs and 149 kilometers of fighting spirit, spraying 48 pitches, and cooked Hanwha batters with various pitches, including 29 changeups, 17 cutters, 4 curves, 4 sliders and 1 sweeper.
Until the fourth inning, he quickly handled Hanwha batters, allowing only one hit to get on base. He threw only 49 pitches until the fourth inning.

He faced a scoring crisis for the first time in the top of the seventh inning. He allowed An Chi-hong to hit a heavy hit after two outs, and Lee Do-yoon's grounder made him the first and second bases due to a shortstop error. However, he struck out pinch hitter Kim Tae-yeon with a swing and miss and finished without losing any more points.
Furado's comfortable pitching and scoring from the beginning allowed Samsung to win 7-2 and escape from three consecutive losses.
Coach Park praised the team after the game, saying, `Furado came back well prepared and made a great pitching to cut the losing streak as the team's first starter.'
After the game, Furado said "The home run was a little disappointing, but I think it was inevitable, and I think the biggest thing was to keep the ground ball watching the batters' swings."I took a good rest by taking a rest. His condition and control were all so good"I was satisfied myself.
Last year, he used Gocheok Sky Dome as his home, which does not have many home runs as a member of Kiwoom, but this year, he moved to Samsung and threw in Daegu, where many home runs are coming out, and asked if there was anything else that he was concerned about, but Furado said, `There is nothing else. Let's just throw it in the strike zone. If you get hit, you get hit, and if you don't, you don't get hit. I just think it's the most important thing to keep the game going for a long time." The answer was that he didn't care about the stadium and threw his own ball.
