Hanwha won 9-1 against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 9th. With the victory, Hanwha, ranked second, won 74 games, drew three and lost 52 games. As No. 1 LG was caught by Kiwoom, it narrowed the gap to four games.
Lotte lost four games in a row. The record was 62 wins, 2 draws and 63 losses in the season. After hitting the 50% mark on April 15, it fell below the 50% winning rate for the first time in 147 days.
It was played at 7 p.m. due to a sudden rain before the game. Neither team's starting pitchers got off to a good start.
Lotte starter Park Se-woong allowed two runs in the first inning alone, and Hanwha starter Ryan Weiss had difficulties with four walks until the second inning.
Park Se-woong allowed seven hits, two walks, three strikeouts, and five runs (four earned) in four innings. Weiss left the mound after allowing two hits, five walks, five strikeouts and one run in six innings.

Hanwha, which piled up the runner again with Chae Eun-sung's walk and Lee Jin-young Ha Joo-seok's hit, widened the score to 9-0 with Choi Jae-hoon's sacrifice fly.
Lotte, who was silent, followed a point in the bottom of the sixth inning. Yoon Dong-hee's timely double followed the walk of leadoff hitter Ko Seung-min.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Lotte became a runner-up with one out due to Son Ho-young's hit and Han Tae-yang's true hit, but Son Sung-bin and Jung Hoon's well-hit balls were all blocked by third baseman Noh Si-hwan's good defense and eventually failed to score.
Following Weiss' six innings of pitching, Hanwha secured the victory with Kim Jong-soo (1 scoreless inning), Yoon San-heum (1 scoreless inning), and Kang Jae-min (1 scoreless inning).
While Park Se-woong was shaken by five runs (four earned runs) in four innings, Lee Min-seok (two runs in one ⅓), Kim Kang-hyun (two runs in two ⅔ innings), Jung Sung-jong (two scoreless innings), and Park Jin-hyung (one scoreless inning) came out in order.
