Hanwha won 3-1 against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 26th. The second-ranked Hanwha Eagles have won three games in a row, recording 68 wins, 3 draws and 48 losses.
The starting pitcher for Hanwha is Ryu Hyun-jin. Ryu, who is 6-7 with a 3.59 ERA in 21 games this season, has not won in the last five games.
I met the lowest Kiwoom and tried to take the victory, but it was not easy. Ryu played his part. He pitched quality starts (more than six innings and less than three earned runs) with four hits, no four outs, seven strikeouts and one run in six innings.
Ryu threw a maximum of 147 kilometers of fastballs, along with changeups (26), curves (11), and cutters (5).
There was a run in the first inning, but he blocked Kiwoom's batters without a run until the sixth inning. However, the batters gave up only one run in the fourth inning, and in the end, Ryu Hyun-jin had to go down the mound without a victory.

The bullpen kept the win. Following Ryu Hyun-jin, Park Sang-won (⅔ innings scoreless), Kim Bum-soo (⅓ innings scoreless), Han Seung-hyuk (one inning scoreless), and Kim Seo-hyun (one inning scoreless) took the mound to complete the victory.
After the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said "Starting pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin did his part for six innings and went down, and then the bullpen did his part, so he was able to make a turnaround." he complimented.
However, regarding Ryu Hyun-jin, he expressed his heavy heart, saying, `I'm sorry as a manager that I haven't been able to take care of the victory even though I've been pitching well recently.'
