He thought he would take his first victory in 13 games of the season, but he withdrew without a win or loss due to bullpen arson.

He cooked NC`s batters by mixing fastballs (47), two-seam fastballs (15), curves (13), sliders (9), and folk balls (5). The maximum fastball speed was 147km and the average speed was 143km.
Cho Young-gun (1 inning), Lee Kang-joon (2 runs in 1 ⅓ inning), Joo Seung-woo (⅔ innings), Kim Sun-ki (1 inning), Won Jong-hyun (1 inning), Park Yoon-sung (1 inning), and Oh Seok-joo (1 inning) threw the bullpen one after another.

Kiwoom scored an additional point in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 1-0 lead, giving Kim Yun-ha's first try to win. After one out, Song Sung-moon and Lim Ji-yeol's consecutive hits made it to first and third base, and Lee Ju-hyung hit an RBI grounder to second base to run 2-0.
Kim Yun-ha also took the mound in the top of the sixth inning because he had room for the number of pitches. Kiwoom Bench replaced the pitcher with Cho Young-gun when he received a left-handed hit from Davison, the leadoff hitter. Son Ah-seop's hit and Kim Hyung-joon's walk led to a two-out bases-loaded crisis, but he kept Kim Yoon-ha's winning pitcher requirements and scoreless pitching by turning Kim Hui-jip to center field.
NC, which was frustrated because the attack was rarely resolved, brought the game to square one in the top of the seventh inning. Kiwoom Fireballer Lee Kang-joon took the mound, Kwon Hee-dong's walk and Park Min-woo's superior double made it to second and third bases with one out. Kiwoom quickly replaced the mound with Joo Seung-woo, and Davison hit a timely two-run hit to balance the game 2-2.
The two teams continued their neck-and-neck race into the 11th inning of extra time, but both teams drew as they failed to score just one more point needed to win. It was a bland ending for both teams with 21 hits.
