"It's better because it's a 1-0 victory. Isn't a 1-0 game the most fun from the pitcher's point of view or from the standpoint of watching. It's a satisfying day."

SSG Landers Drew Anderson smiled brightly for the first time in a long time. There has been no victory in the last three consecutive games, but he showed off his ace-like presence after a long time by breaking three consecutive losses.

It was literally a fierce pitching match. SSG starter Anderson tied Lotte's batters tightly with five hits and one walk in seven innings. It was a perfect pitch with a maximum of 157km of fastballs and 11 strikeouts. Except for the second double, Lotte batters couldn't even get to the scoring position.




In addition, Herredia's winning shot in the top of the sixth inning was scored to enjoy a thrilling victory. After the game, Anderson remembered the game 'MLB The Show' as soon as he said 'Eredia's batting hit' If you get a really good hit in the game, the gauge is full as it pops up 'Perfect!'. That's how it felt," he said with a big smile.

He also revealed his unique calm inside. As for Lotte Ko Seung-min's batting, "When you hear the sound when you get hit, you know it. It wasn't a static hit, so I wasn't too nervous."

Anderson was originally scheduled to take the mound on the 13th, but his pitching was postponed for two days due to the cancellation of rain and the scheduled selection of Kim Kwang-hyun following Choo Shin-soo's retirement ceremony. But Anderson laughed, `Thanks to you, I slept a lot, which helped me a lot.' Regarding the happening, such as heavy rain and the suspension of the game at one point, "It's okay because it's not a sensitive personality."




With the victory, Anderson posted an ERA of 2.09, rising to first place, ahead of Hanwha Ponce (2.16). But Anderson is only focused on getting on the mound and throwing. It doesn't put much meaning on something like the No. 1 ERA. The fact that the team won is important."

He had a 0.30 ERA for a month in May, but did not receive a monthly MVP. Regarding the fact that the team's victory has not followed in the last three consecutive games, SSG coach Lee Sung-yong "If the victory is added when throwing well, I will throw more excitedly, but it's a shame that there's no victory."I felt sorry.

But Anderson said "That's how baseball is supposed to be. Look at Lotte today. Even if a starting pitcher throws so well, he can become a losing pitcher. That's why we have a long season of 144 games. I don't really care about the multiplier.' As for what I care about the most during a season, "I'm a person who doesn't get too stressed out. I focus the most on sleeping a lot," he stressed.

"Captor Cho Hyung-woo is understanding and usually I sign autographs, but it's good to come up to the mound and express your opinion clearly."

After the game, coach Lee Sung-yong won the game with the strong performance of foreigners. In particular, Anderson showed perfect pitching as an ace. He pitched seven scoreless innings with efficient pitching, striking out many (11) through aggressive pitching. Hero of victory"

Heredia's home run in the sixth inning became the winning run. The part where Herredia's condition is coming up is positive for the team."
