I even caught the LG killer. Ace got five starts, gave up one run in six innings, and won by the decision on nail. I'm about to win nine games ahead of Lim Chan-gyu and Son Joo-young (Gwangju site)

He won against James Nail, a foreign ace of the KIA Tigers who never lost against LG.
Song Seung-ki started in an away game against KIA at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd and recorded five hits (one home run), two walks, three strikeouts and one run in six innings.
He was replaced in the bottom of the seventh inning with a 4-1 lead, providing KIA starter Nail with a crisis of his first defeat against LG, and meeting the requirements for victory.
If he wins on this day, he will be the first to reach the nine-win mark, ahead of Lim Chan-gyu and Son Joo-young (eight wins).
Song Seung-ki, who pitched in 17 games in the first half with an 8-5 record and a 3.39 ERA, took the mound in 12 days after his last appearance in the first half with five hits and three runs in four ⅓ against Kiwoom on the 10th. I think it's because I got enough rest
Expectations for the game against KIA were not high. He took the mound twice against KIA and won one game, but his ERA was not good at 11.05.
On April 4, he allowed seven hits and two runs in five innings in Jamsil, and although his team won 8-2 to become the winning pitcher, he showed sluggish performance of seven hits (one home run) and seven runs in two ⅓ innings in Jamsil on June 28.
This is the first time Song Seung-ki will start in Gwangju.
I was shaken in the beginning maybe because it's been a long time since I took the mound.

It was a crisis again at the beginning of the second inning. After one death, he got consecutive hits from No. 7 Oh Sun-woo and No. 8 Kim Tae-gun to become the first and second bases. Song Seung-ki, who struck out No. 9 Kim Ho-ryeong, caught Park Chan-ho with a fly to right field and went without a run.
I found stability from the third inning. Kim Sun-bin, Wisdom Choi Hyung-woo was treated as a three-way offense, and Na Sung-bum, Lee Woo-sung, and Oh Seon-woo were caught in the fourth inning in turn. Kim Hyun-soo's timely hit in the top of the fourth inning put him back in crisis in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 1-0 lead. After two outs, Park Chan-ho walked and Kim Sun-bin hit the right-handed, and the check ball to the second base fell back and became the second and third base with two outs. However, he handled Wisdom with a fly to center field and scored no runs again.
Moon Bo-kyung's three-run shot in the top of the sixth inning made it 4-0, and Song Seung-ki had a clear opportunity to meet the winning pitcher requirements. Song Seung-ki, who also took the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning, however, was hit by a superior solo shot by the leader Choi Hyung-woo. The 115km curve went into the middle of the second pitch in 1B, and Choi Hyung-woo did not miss it and made it a home run. Song Seung-ki struck out Na Sung-bum without being shaken, caught Lee Woo-sung with a fly to center field and Oh Sun-woo with a ground ball in front of the first base to finish his mission.
He was replaced by Kim Jin-sung in the bottom of the seventh inning.
He threw 93 pitches on the day, with a maximum fastball speed of 147 kilometers, less than the previous maximum of 150 kilometers, but it was enough to catch KIA batters. He threw 51 balls, more than half of them, because of his good pitching. I sprinkled 25 sliders, 9 changeups, 7 curves, and 1 forkball here.
