Park Byung-ho hit a three-run home run to the left in the top of the first inning against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 22nd.
It is the third consecutive game after a series of hitters against the Doosan Bears on the 19th and a solo shot against Lotte on the 20th.
At the moment of being hit, the distance between the big home run and the 14th home run of the season reached 125 meters. As a result, he proudly joined the line that tied for third (14 home runs) after Diaz (27 Samsung), and Austin (19 LG). He was on par with Park Dong-won (LG) and Matt Davidson (NC).
With the ball count of 1B2S, Lotte starter Park Se-woong hit a 127km curve on the fourth pitch and crossed the left fence. It was a curve that hit the outside of the right-handed batter strike zone, but he couldn't avoid Park Byung-ho's bat. It was a pleasant shot with a well-controlled ball.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who met him before the game, said "He has a good batting sense, hitting home runs for two consecutive days." As Kang Min-ho is out today due to back-throat conditions, he raised Park Byung-ho from No. 7 to No. 5." The expectations of the head coach seem to be in line.

Meanwhile, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung's worries are bound to deepen. Park Se-woong, who had won eight consecutive games at the beginning of the season, collapsed with four consecutive losses since late May, and he couldn't hide his uneasy start again in his first appearance after visiting the second division. If Park Se-woong, who should serve as a native ace, shakes, Lotte's season management strategy itself will falter.
