The Samsung Lions met the lowest Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 28th.
Samsung is a game that needs to be won by putting its life on the line. In addition to challenging for third place, he is desperate to win one game to secure even fourth place.
However, the main catcher Kang Min-ho was replaced ahead of the defense in the bottom of the second inning. Kang Min-ho started as No. 7 catcher on the day.
It was an injury. Kang Min-ho took the batter's box for the first time in the second inning with no outs and no runners on the first base. However, he struck out against Jung Hyun-woo. With 3B advantage, he was out with three strikes in a row. The last two were swing and miss.
A Samsung official said, `Kang Min-ho missed the game because he twisted his back while swinging.' It doesn't appear to be a major injury, but it's a replacement for player protection. However, if the back is injured incorrectly, the symptoms often last long, which is a big negative factor for Samsung. Not only the game on this day, but also the KIA Tigers match on the 30th will continue. This game is legendary Oh Seung-hwan's retirement game.
