Hanwha won the home game against the Lotte Giants 6-0 at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 13th. Hanwha won three consecutive games and recorded 63 wins, 3 draws, and 42 losses. It narrowed its gap with the leading LG Twins (66 wins, 2 draws and 42 losses) to 1.5 games, and widened its gap with the third-place Lotte (58 wins, 3 draws and 50 losses) to 6.5 games. Lotte has lost five consecutive games.
On this day, Hanwha's starting pitcher Ryan Weiss played his part. There was a crisis, but he played six scoreless innings without collapsing. He struck out 11 times.
Following Weiss, Joo Hyun-sang (⅓ innings scoreless), Cho Dong-wook (⅓ innings scoreless), Park Sang-won (one ⅓ scoreless), and Jung Woo-joo (one inning scoreless) took the mound in turn.

Hanwha, which scored the first run, created a chance for 1.3 bases with no outs made by Ha Joo-seok's hit. When Kim Tae-yeon grounded out to third base, third baseman Chae Eun-sung was caught, but Ha Joo-seok went to third base sensibly.
Choi Jae-hoon's timely hit, Lee Do-yoon's timely hit, Son Ah-seop's two-run timely hit, and Liberato's timely double led to a 5-0 run.

After Weiss went down, Hanwha had a crisis with one out and runners on first and third and two out, but did not lose a point and won the game.
After the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon praised starter Weiss. Manager Kim said "WICE had several crises, but they managed the crisis brilliantly and played their role as a starting pitcher."
In addition, to the batter who made the big inning in the second inning, "It was a factor in the victory that brought the flow of the game by scoring a large number of points in the first opportunity."
Hanwha announced Ryu Hyun-jin as its starting pitcher on the 14th. Lotte will have Na Kyun-in as the starting pitcher.
