The Samsung Lions escaped three consecutive losses by catching the first-place Hanwha Eagles with Hurado's good pitching and the explosion of the lineup.
In a home game against Hanwha at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 25th, Samsung won 7-2 thanks to the batting average of 11 hits, including Hurado's good pitching of one run in seven innings and Park Byung-ho's home run in four consecutive games. Samsung, which came out of a three-game losing streak, had 39 wins, one draw and 35 losses.
Hanwha, the first-place team, recorded 43 wins, 1 draw and 30 losses, narrowing the gap to one game with the second-place LG Twins, who did not play due to rain on the day.
Samsung composed the starting lineup of Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (left wing), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Park Byung-ho (designated hitter), Kang Min-ho (captor), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Yang Yang-geun (third baseman), and Lee Jae-hyun (striker). Kim Jae-sung was in the lineup as a catcher instead of Kang Min-ho, who had lingering symptoms the previous day, but it was canceled due to rain, and Kang Min-ho's condition improved on the day, allowing him to start.
Hanwha made up the starting lineup with Lee Jin-young (right wing), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left wing), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), An Chi-hong (designated hitter), Lee Do-yoon (second baseman), Lee Jae-won (captor), and Shim Woo-jun (striker). On the previous day, Hwang Young-mook was put forward as the starting second baseman, but Lee Do-yoon stepped up as the starting second baseman. This is because Lee Do-yoon was good with two hits in four at-bats from Hurado last year.
It's a match between Ariel Furado, who took a 10-day break, and Ryan Weiss, a foreign pitcher who tries to win 10, and the game was decided at the beginning.
Samsung hitters broke Weiss in the beginning.

Following Kim Ji-chan's right-handed hit in the bottom of the first inning, Koo Ja-wook's heavy hit and center fielder Liberato's catch error scored the first run. Kim Ji-chan was running to third base when Liberato caught the ball with his fast feet, and when Liberato missed the ball, he nonstop ran to the home to run safe. Diaz's hit to right-center made it 2-0 with one out and second base. Park Byung-ho's superior double and Ryu Ji-hyuk's body hit created an additional scoring opportunity with two outs and a full base, but Yang Yang-geun's well-matched line drive hit was sucked into the glove of second baseman Lee Do-yoon, ending the inning.
However, Samsung's bat did not cool down. In the bottom of the second inning, Kim Ji-chan made a surprise bunt after the leader Lee Jae-hyun went out with a ball that hit his body. Catcher Lee Jae-won caught it and threw it to the first base in a hurry, which flew to the right field. Right fielder Lee Jin-young's catch and throw to third base becomes a bad pitch, and Lee Jae-hyun is safe at home. Kim Ji-chan went to third base with Kim Sung-yoon's ground ball in front of the pitcher with no outs and second base, and Koo Ja-wook's sacrifice fly to center field added one more point.
In the bottom of the third inning, Park Byung-ho worked hard again. Weiss's 134-kilometer sweeper came high in the middle and connected with a solo shot over the left fence. Home runs in four consecutive games since the game against Doosan Bears in Daegu on the 19th. He ranked third alone in homers with his 15th of the season.

Weiss, who challenged his 10th win, eventually threw only three innings. He lost for the third time in the season with six hits (one homer) and four outs, one strikeout and five runs (three earned) in three innings. Two of the three losses were against Daegu Samsung.
Samsung's score is not over. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Koo Ja-wook walked and Diaz hit a right-handed hit after two outs from the second pitcher Cho Dong-wook, creating a chance for the first and third bases, and Park Byung-ho hit an RBI left-handed hit from the changed Kim Jong-soo. 6-0.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Koo Ja-wook's hit at the first and second bases made by Kim Ji-chan's walk and Kim Sung-yoon's right-handed hit added another run.
After taking the mound for the first time in 10 days with generous scoring support from Samsung hitters, Hurado threw the ball vigorously to silence Hanwha's batters. After giving up only one hit until the fourth inning and allowing no runs, Lado gave up his first run in the top of the fifth inning with a solo shot by Chae Eun-sung. Furado, who was on the verge of scoring for the first time with two outs and runners on the first and second bases due to a shortstop error after two outs to An Chi-hong after two outs in the top of the seventh inning, concluded his pitching by striking out pinch hitter Kim Tae-yeon with a swing and miss. He showed off his strength of rest by recording his sixth win of the season with four hits (one home run) and four strikeouts, six strikeouts, and one run in seven innings.
