Lotte Giants' Tucker Davidson pitched a revival. Davison pitched well in Game 2 of the Weekday Series against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 11th with seven hits, four outs, and three runs in five ⅓ innings.
It's a pity that he couldn't fill six innings, but nine strikeouts are impressive. The maximum speed of the fastball was 152km. The number of pitches was 99.
As usual, he threw fastballs (41) and high-speed sliders (up to 145km, 38) at a similar rate. He mixed 12 fork balls, four curves, three sweeper and one change-up.
It was a game that restored the trust of the master a little bit. Davison has been sluggish for the last three games in a row. Lotte's entire season operation was shaken as it fell into a slump alongside Park Se-woong, who was pitching like a flame at the beginning of the season. Starting with the match against Hanwha on May 24 (six runs (four earned runs) and 92 pitches in five innings), and the match against SSG on May 30 (three runs (two earned runs) and 99 pitches in five innings), he was in a hurry to fill five innings in two consecutive games.
In the end, against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 5th, it collapsed uncontrollably with 10 hits and 9 runs, including two home runs, in three ⅔ innings, recording its worst pitching this year.

In the first inning, Bae Jeong-dae and Ahn Hyun-min, who were wielding the fire bat recently, were struck out and passed well with three-way withdrawal. In the second inning, Oh Yoon-seok was handled well with a ground ball with two outs and a hit by Huh Kyung-min and a hit by Lee Ho-yeon. In the third inning, Ahn Hyun-min of Bae Jeong-dae allowed a hit one by one, but he also passed it well without losing a point.
The problem was the fourth episode. Leading hitter Rojas hit and Huh Kyung-min also walked to get on base. He seemed to have regained the flow by striking out Lee Ho-yeon and Oh Yoon-seok in a row.
However, he was hit by an RBI timely hit by ambush Cho Dae-hyun, and even before the disappointment went away, Bae Jung-dae allowed a two-run double to right-center. Davison was seen blaming himself after the fourth inning by catching Kim Sang-soo with a ground ball.

It is a pity that he could not fill the sixth inning due to too many pitches, but he made good use of his strengths using high RBIs and angles, and it was also good to control the atmosphere by striking out one after another. It was a power struggle that made us look forward to the future game.
