When Alcantara appeared, KIA bat cooled down.

The KIA Tigers, who have a busy way to go, were hit by the lowest Kiwoom Heroes.

KIA lost 1-6 to Kiwoom starter Alcantara in the second game of three consecutive games during the week at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 20th. KIA, which suffered a shock sweep loss of three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears over the weekend, seemed to change its mood by meeting Kiwoom on the 19th and hitting four home runs, winning 12-9. When he met Park Joo-sung, Kim Sun-ki and Kim Yeon-joo, who are competing for the fifth starting pitcher the previous day, the bat, which had been running so cool, became quiet due to the appearance of the ace. There is a busy way to go to the fierce competition for the 5th round, but I suffered a painful defeat. If you don't build up wins in the game against the 10th-ranked team, it's the end of the season where the loss is big.

When ace Alcantara appeared, the KIA bat, which had exploded the previous day, failed to use its strength. Alcantara easily cooked KIA batters from the start of the game with a fastball of more than 150 kilometers and a stable control. He pitched just 50 pitches until the fifth inning. He lost one run. He threw a fork ball in 1B1S against leadoff hitter Kim Seok-hwan in the third inning, and it was driven to a real pitch in the middle and allowed a home run. It was a pitch that could be said to be perfect except for one ball.

KIA had to cry again on the error. Kiwoom scored four points at once in the top of the third inning. A one-out, second-base chance made by Oh Sun-jin's hit and Eo Jun-seo's sacrifice bunt against KIA starter Yang Hyun-jong. Here, Park Joo-hong hit a timely first RBI hit. And Song Sung-moon's heavy hit came out.

It could have been up to this point. Next time is the question. Lim Ji-yeol's ball flowed quickly toward Yang Hyun-jong. Yang Hyun-jong tried to catch it but failed, and the ball hit by the glove flowed slowly toward the shortstop. an infield hit. However, shortstop Park Chan-ho grabbed it and forced his throw to the first base, which became a bad pitch. Second baseman Park Joo-hong easily homered, and Song Sung-moon and Lim Ji-yeol advanced to third and second bases, respectively.




Next up is Choi Joo-hwan. It was a mistake again. Choi Joo-hwan's hit was very strong, but first baseman Oh Sun-woo failed to catch it, and both runners homered. Two errors were too fatal. Yang Hyun-jong allowed four runs, but only one earned run.

Since then, the game has been in a lull. Alcantara continued to pitch perfectly, and Kiwoom had a chance to run away, but failed to make use of it. Then he sealed the eighth inning.

A golden score given that the bullpen is weak Kiwoom. Alcanta was able to play extra innings without any burden. He received an infield hit by Kim Seok-hwan, the leader of the eighth inning, but handled the remaining three batters to ease the burden on the pitcher who will come out in the ninth inning. Kiwoom Bench left the ninth inning to left-hander Yoon Seok-won.

Alcantara pitched 98 pitches in eight innings, allowing five hits, no four outs, four strikeouts, and one run, winning his sixth win (two losses) of the season. KIA's high school rookie Kim Jung-yeop made his debut in the ninth inning, and he was able to take comfort from throwing bravely and blocking one inning well.

Meanwhile, the video review of the check swing that began on the 19th. The first case was also found in Gwangju. In the seventh inning, Kiwoom Song Sung-moon was judged as a north wing, but the decision was reversed by a swing as a result of KIA's video review application.
