Will it survive.

LG Twins' foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez recorded a quality start for the second consecutive game.

Hernandez started the home game against the Lotte Giants in Jamsil on the 19th and allowed three hits, three walks, and three runs in six innings. Trailing 1-3, he replaced Jang Hyun-sik in the top of the seventh inning. Although he was on the verge of losing the game with the lead, it is encouraging to record a quality start by throwing six innings in two consecutive games.




Hernandez, who neatly blocked with three outs in the top of the first inning, allowed No. 6 Yoo Kang-nam to hit the left fence after two outs in the top of the second inning, but he caught No. 7 Na Seung-yeop with a ground ball in front of the first base and passed it scoreless. In the top of the third inning, he finished with a three-and-out effort with nine balls. By the third inning, he had 36 pitches.

Even if the batting order starts to hit once it turns, the number of pitches was small, but suddenly it shook and lost a point at the top of the fourth inning when it was 0-0. He struck out No. 2 Park Chan-hyung and got off to a good start, and allowed No. 3 Reyes to walk after a full count match. He also gave up another walk in 3B1S to No. 4 Jeon Joon-woo, putting himself on the verge of one out and runners on first and second bases. And he lost one point after getting a left-handed hit that was slightly missed by No. 5 Yun Dong-hee.

Soon after, Yoo Kang-nam, who had a double in the top of the second inning, allowed a two-run double to left-center this time, making it 0-3. Amid the crisis of one out and second base, Na Seung-yeop grounded out in front of the second base and Han Tae-yang grounded out in front of the third base, barely ending the fourth inning.

In the top of the fifth inning, Hernandez, who finished with a complete withdrawal when No. 9 Lee Ho-joon, No. 1 Hwang Sung-bin, and No. 2 Park Chan-hyung, took the mound in the top of the sixth inning, trailing 1-3.

Hernandez, who caught the lead Reyes with a fly to center field, gave Jeon Joon-woo a straight walk, causing anxiety again. However, he caught Yoon Dong-hee, who had a timely hit in the fourth inning, a fly to right field and Yoo Kang-nam with a ground ball in front of the shortstop, and finished without a run.

Hernandez, who threw 90 pitches, threw 56 fastballs up to 154km, threw 16 curves, seven cutters, six changeups, four sliders and one two-seam. He focused on fast fastballs and it can be said that he worked to some extent.




Hernandez has been sluggish since returning from injury, prompting many fans to call him out. However, he seems to be taking the opportunity to rebound as he has recorded quality starts for two consecutive games due to his rapid arrest recently.
