Lee Jae-hyun started as the ninth batter and shortstop in an away game against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 10th and recorded one hit (one home run) and four RBIs and one run from four times at bat.
Lee Jae-hyun, who swallowed his regret when he stepped down with a fly ball in his first at-bat, later turned to a fly ball and strikeout in his second at-bat.
In his fourth at-bat in the top of the eighth inning, batters advanced the bases loaded with hits and walks.
In Lee Jae-hyun's at-bat, KIA replaced the pitcher with Kim Hyun-soo. Lee Jae-hyun, who watched as the first curve left the strike zone, played a full count against Kim Hyun-soo. The seventh fastball (143km) came into the bottom of the strike zone, and Lee Jae-hyun turned the bat as it was. The outstretched ball went over the left fence. Lee Jae-hyun's seventh home run of the season and his second grand slam of his career came in 787 days since the game against the Lotte Giants in Daegu on April 14, 2023. The score ranged from 4-0 to 8-0.
Samsung, with Lee Jae-hyun's grand slam at the forefront, beat KIA 8-0 to win its second straight game.
