KIA lost 0-5 against SSG Landers in the 2025 KBO League at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 23rd.
KIA finished in eighth place with 62 wins, 4 draws and 71 losses. Even if they win all seven games left in the regular season, they will fail with a 50% win rate.
SSG secured 70 wins, 4 draws and 62 losses and 3rd place.
SSG broke the balance in the bottom of the fifth inning.
SSG struggled considerably due to KIA starter Kim Tae-hyung's strong pitching. The bottom of the fifth inning seemed to be crossing without any income. Leading hitter Cho Hyung-woo stepped down with a ground ball to shortstop, and subsequent Park Sung-han was thrown out to center field.
However, after two outs, Ahn Sung-han walked on base after seven pitches. Kim Tae-hyung throws 85 pitches, the highest by an individual player.
I visited the mound because I felt the KIA bench was an important moment. I cut off the flow once.
Sure enough, Kim Tae-hyung hit a home run at the first pitch. SSG Herredia exploded the first two-run home run (13th of the season) with two outs and a runner on first base. Kim Tae-hyung had to make a mistake here. The 148km fastball was driven to a high course in the middle. Herredia didn't miss it.

KIA put Hwang Dong-ha in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 'Nice Face' but the result was not good. Hwang Dong-ha came out as the second pitcher after Kim Tae-hyung. Hwang Dong-ha was in a car accident on May 8. Hwang Dong-ha stood on the mound for the first time in 139 days since the game against Kiwoom in Gocheok on May 7.
The SSG lineup welcomed Hwang Dong-ha with a fire bat. Leading hitter Ko Myung-joon opened the game with a left-handed hit. Jihoon Choi hit a two-run home run (Seventh of the season). Ryu Hyo-seung was grounded out for the pitcher. After one out, Jung Joon-jae hit a lucky double that fell between the first base and the second base right field. Cho Hyung-woo struck out. Park Sung-han even called in Jung Joon-jae with a heavy hit. Hwang Dong-ha lost three points, but he was responsible for the first inning by handling Ahn Sang-hyun with a fly ball to the first base.
SSG was ahead by five points, but they didn't let their guard down. At the top of the ninth inning, he kept his victory by posting closer Cho Byung-hyun.
