I needed a break from Hanwha, whose last losing streak was going to 60 wins a month ago...

Hanwha won 4-0 at home against SSG Landers at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 25th. Hanwha, which had one loss and one draw since the suspension of its 10th consecutive win, won again on the same day, strengthening its single lead system. He is also leading SSG with 6 wins and 4 losses this season.
Hanwha, which finished the three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears with one win, one draw and one loss at Jamsil Stadium during the week, was somewhat tired. In particular, there was a physical burden as the game on the last day ended in a draw after a close game that lasted until the 11th inning.
However, head coach Kim Kyung-moon found a breakthrough again with a change in the lineup. Hwang Young-mook, who had a good batting sense with a 'multi-hit' the previous day, was placed in the first batting order and set up the lead to target opponent Drew Anderson.
The choice was right on the mark. On this day, Hwang Young-mook flew with two hits and three runs in three at-bats, starting with his first at-bat double in the bottom of the first inning that led to the first run. Third hitter Moon Hyun-bin also played a very good role as a troubleshooter with three hits and two RBIs in four at-bats. Riverato, who was the second batter, also changed the team's atmosphere by hitting a timely hit and even taking care of his home in the top of the first inning.

Weiss, who faced the SSG lineup on the day, pitched three hits, 10 strikeouts, two walks and no runs in seven innings, and succeeded in blocking the opponent. Weiss, who almost hit a timely hit in the top of the first inning, but overcame the crisis with the help of defense, pitched flawlessly from the second to the seventh inning.
As Weiss pitched as many as seven innings with 89 pitches, Hanwha was able to minimize bullpen consumption. In the top of the eighth inning with a 4-0 lead, Han Seung-hyuk took the mound and blocked one inning well with two strikeouts, and in the top of the ninth inning, closer Kim Seo-hyun finished the game without losing a point. It was the most ideal pitching operation.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon thanked the victory over SSG, saying, `The bullpen pitchers needed a break, but Weiss played a long inning and did his part perfectly.' It was the best victory because the pitchers, who had been consumed a lot in overtime against Doosan, could rest.
"We were able to win by scoring points step by step from the beginning of the game against a difficult opponent (Anderson)," he praised the Hanwha players' concentration and cohesion from the first inning.
