Two consecutive tiebreaker grand slams? Resurrection Wisdom, bases loaded + consecutive hits = 6 RBIs, KIA Lapaxer's home run party, first sweep against Samsung, 5 consecutive losses (Daegu Review)

Aug 14, 2025

It looked as if the host had changed.

KIA Tigers had a home run party and won three consecutive games after losing consecutive games against Samsung.

KIA won 10-4 with the first eight points with five home runs in the final game of the three consecutive games during the week against Samsung at Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th.

KIA, which hit eight home runs in three consecutive games, surpassed the team's 4,800 home runs (2nd), which had two left, and won the first three consecutive games of the season against Samsung, which had no home runs in three consecutive games.

Samsung has lost five consecutive games since the match against Suwon KT on the 9th and seven consecutive home Daegu since the match against SSG on the 24th of last month.

KIA Yang Hyun-jong and Samsung's Won Tae-in will face off as the starting ace. It was 2-2 until the fifth inning.

KIA took the first point with Kim Ho-ryeong's fourth solo shot of the season in the top of the third inning. Samsung immediately turned the tide by scoring two points in the bottom of the third inning.

Koo Ja-wook, who went down to seven times with no hits in eight at-bats in the first two consecutive games, opened with a double and quickly found the lead with Kim Hun-gon's timely hit and Ryu Ji-hyuk's sacrifice fly. KIA balanced 2-2 with Won Tae-in killer Kim Tae-gun's fourth solo home run of the season in the fifth inning.

The game was decided by Wisdom's shot in the top of the sixth inning.

Leading Kim Sun-bin and Na Sung-bum made first and second bases with no outs with consecutive hits.

Oh Sun-woo's fake bunt and slush became a hit to the left of the second baseman. Second baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk, who was defending at the top in anticipation of not bunt, fell and tried to catch it, but he fumbled in a hurry and loaded the bases with no outs with an infield hit. It was the result of being conscious of the double play.

Wisdom showed signs of revival with consecutive hits in the last two at-bats the previous day. The batter is performing the order of "Actively hit the earlier count in the at-bats" amid director Lee Bum-ho's order.

Wisdom, who also hit a heavy hit for the first pitch curve in the second at-bat in the fourth inning, did not miss the fastball match outside the first pitch of the Samsung battery of 146km. He pushed it hard over the wall in the middle of the right.

The moment the 2-2 balance collapses to 6-2 at once. KIA also won 9-1 against Samsung the previous day, breaking the balance with Han Jun-su's grand slam in the eighth inning when the score was 1-1. The tiebreaker final bases loaded for two consecutive days.

KIA hitters who tasted home runs did not stop. As Samsung chased with Koo Ja-wook's timely hit in the sixth inning, Kim Sun-bin ran away again with his third solo shot of the season in the seventh inning. In the seventh inning, as Samsung chased down one run with Diaz's timely hit, Wisdom beat its will to chase with its second consecutive home run (26th) of the season against Yuk Sun-yeop in the eighth inning. KIA confirmed the victory by adding two more runs in the ninth inning with a push-out dune and a timely hit by Wiz.

KIA put bullpen ace Jeon Sang-hyun in the eighth inning with an 8-4 lead to block Samsung's long-shot variables that may revive.

Starting pitcher Yang Hyun-jong allowed three runs (two earned runs) with eight hits and no four outs in five ⅔ innings, marking his seventh win of the season (5 losses).

Wisdom recorded four hits and six RBIs, including consecutive home runs such as the grand slam in the final, marking the perfect revival with the most RBIs in one game since his debut. KIA center fielder Kim Ho-ryeong contributed to the victory by blocking multi-hitters, Diaz in the second inning, and Kang Min-ho's pitches in the fourth inning, including the first home run. Kim Sun-bin also hit three home runs in August alone, giving three hits to the centerline without Choi Hyung-woo.

Samsung, which gave up Rafak's advantage to KIA with no home runs during the three consecutive games, had 11 hits, but reduced its limit to becoming a rifle unit. At the critical moment, the long shot was regrettable. Koo Ja-wook's revival, which broke through 2,600 hits (39th) with 3 hits and 1 RBI in 3 at-bats, including multiple doubles, was a relief in despair.

Starter Won Tae-in did his best to play the longest innings as much as possible, but he was disappointed to allow three homers. It was his fourth loss of the season (7 wins) with 10 hits and 6 runs in 6 innings.

KIA will move to Jamsil and play Doosan in three consecutive away games on the weekend. Samsung will move to Busan to escape consecutive losses in three consecutive weekend games against Lotte.
