Lee Savage started Game 5 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on the 30th (Korea time), giving up three hits and allowing one run in seven innings with his strength to strike out 12.
Lee Savage went down the mound in the eighth inning for a 5-1 lead.
Pitching more than six innings is his record, including the regular season, since his Major League debut. Of course, it's also the first time for a quality start.
He started five postseason games, gave up 17 hits and 10 walks in 26 innings, struck out 39 and marked an ERA of 3.46.
He made his big league debut on the 16th of last month and pitched 14 innings in three regular-season games to raise an ERA of 3.21 and join the postseason starting rotation.
He threw 104 pitches, and made 71 strikes. Fastball confinement was up to 95.4 miles and an average of 94.2 miles. With stable control, he never gave up consecutive hits and did not allow walks.
In particular, Lee Savage struck out five consecutive batters, setting a World Series rookie pitcher record in this category.

He struck out all three batters in the second inning. Freddie Freeman struck out 84.1 miles of sweeper, Teoscar Hernandez 90.2 miles of outside slider, and Tommy Edman with 85.1 miles of body splitter.
He then struck out Max Muncy, the leader of the third inning, and struck out five consecutive batters.
However, he lost a point after hitting a solo home run by Cicke Hernandez. The 93-mile fastball on the fourth pitch from the ball count 2B1S was slightly higher toward the body. Kike pulled it and connected it to the left with a large arch 407 feet of distance. However, he overpowered Alex Cole with a fly to center field and an 84.9-mile splitter falling outside, striking out swinging.
In the fourth inning with a 3-1 lead, Smith and Betts struck out consecutive swings and misses, then gave up infield hits to Freeman and Teosca, but handled Edman with a fly ball to shortstop and handed over no runs.
In the fifth inning, he cooked three batters with 15 balls. Lee Sam-midge struck out Alex Cole with a swing and miss after two outs and reached double-digit strikeouts, becoming the second pitcher in history to mark the previous 10 strikeouts in the fifth inning in a World Series game after Dodgers Sandy Koufax in 1963. In the sixth inning, he also blocked Ohtani with a straight hit to right field, struck out Smith, and cooked Betts with a groundout to third base.
Lee Savage, who also took the mound in the seventh inning, allowed an infield hit to Theosca after one out, then induced Edman to play a double play to the third baseman and finished the inning neatly.

Toronto added a point in the top of the fourth inning when Ernie Clement hit a sacrifice fly to center field following the leadoff Dalton Basho's triple to right, and added two runs in the seventh inning by combining two hits and two walks.
