The 7 scoreless innings was also useless. A thin ice lead of 1-0 was overturned in the eighth inning. It was just a pity to see Nail applauding the chase's solo shot again after two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
KIA Tigers came from behind to lose 2-4 against Doosan Base at Jamsil Stadium on the 17th, humiliated by a sweep of three consecutive games on the weekend.
The first starter Nail pitched 7 innings with 92 pitches, 6 hits, 1 walk, and 4 strikeouts, but the batting line was a problem. He scored only one run in five innings against Doosan's substitute starter Je Hwan-yu, who will make his first-team start debut.
The start was the momentum of a big score. KIA, which scored the first run with Choi Hyung-woo's sacrifice fly with one out and runners on the first and third bases in the top of the first inning, created a chance to load the bases with two outs, but failed to score additional points due to Oh Sun-woo's ground ball to the second base. After stabilizing, Je Hwan-yu pitched well without additional runs until the fifth inning and handed over the mound to the bullpen.

The game was decided in the bottom of the eighth inning. Lee Joon-young, who took over the mound from Nail, gave up a hit to leadoff hitter Kang Seung-ho. After taking a breath with Cave's ground ball to shortstop, he handed over the mound to Jeon Sang-hyun, but Yang Eui-ji, who recorded 3 hits in 4 at-bats, doubled and was on the verge of a crisis with one out and runners on second and third bases.
KIA bench chose to load the bases with Ahn Jae-seok's automatic four pitches. However, Kim In-tae, the hero of the previous day, appeared as a pinch hitter and got a walk to push it out, making it tied 1-1. Ryu Hyun-jun was then struck out, but the game was turned upside down when Cho Ha-sung, the powerhouse of the KIA match, hit a timely two-run hit.
