Four runs and four hits in five innings? Four pitches. What happened to Garabito?

I think it's something to say to Kherson Garavito of the Samsung Lions.
Garavito allowed as many as four runs even though he had just one hit. It's all because of the walk.
Garabito started in a home game against the LG Twins at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 3rd. Garavito, who came as a substitute for Denny Reyes, was 2-1 with a 1.33 ERA in five starts. In particular, he pitched well without allowing any runs in both of the last two games. On July 23, he recorded three hits, no four outs and six strikeouts in seven innings against SSG, and on the 29th against Hanwha, he also recorded three hits, one walk, and six strikeouts in six innings, winning his second consecutive game.
Naturally, expectations were high against LG. He easily caught the top of the first inning with nine balls and three outs, signaling a good start.
But it got weird more and more. Garabito, who gave Oh Ji-hwan his first walk after two outs in the top of the second inning, lost a run without a hit in the top of the third inning with a 2-0 lead. After one out, he gave up a walk to No. 9 Park Hae-min, and allowed a walk to No. 1 Shin Min-jae. Then, throwing a check ball to the second base fell back and was on the verge of second and third bases, and No. 2 Moon Sung-joo gave up a ball that hit his body. a bases-loaded walk with one out without a hit. And Kim Hyun-soo hit a ground ball to shortstop, which bounced a little high off Lee Jae-hyun's glove and flew toward second base, and second baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk stepped on second base to catch the first runner. He threw right to the first base and tried to double play, but he was safe at the first base. In the meantime, third baseman Park Hae-min homered to make it 2-1. He then gave up a walk to Moon Bo-kyung, and there was another bases-loaded crisis, but he caught Park Dong-won with a ground ball in front of the shortstop and prevented additional runs. Garabito, who gave up a walk to Park Kwan-woo after two outs in the top of the fourth inning, was overturned in the top of the fifth inning with a 3-1 lead. Garabito, who faced a crisis of one out and runners on first and second bases by walking to lead Shin Min-jae and third Kim Hyun-soo, allowed Moon Bo-kyung to hit the right field. This was Garabito's first and last hit on the day. 3-2. Park Dong-won was caught on a fly to center field to reach first and second base with two outs, but Oh Ji-hwan allowed another walk to load the bases with two outs. Second baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk caught Koo Bon-hyuk's slow grounder and tagged Oh Ji-hwan, who came to second base, but the ball fell out and became a safety, and in the meantime, the third and second basemen came home and turned around 3-4. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Park Kwan-woo was treated with a fly to center field and finished the fifth inning.
In the end, Garabito gave up only one hit in five innings, but gave up as many as eight walks and one hit, allowing four runs (two earned runs) and putting him on the verge of losing the game.
