Ryu Hyun-jin’s Stunning Collapse: How SSG’s Kim Gun-woo Dominated the Game

Daniel Kim Views  

Translation result

[Anchor] Hanwha chairman Kim Seung-yeon made his first trip to the ballpark this season, but he didn’t get the victory he came for. Ace Ryu Hyun-jin — who had been pitching effectively — unraveled in an instant, and SSG’s Kim Geon-woo, often compared to Kim Kwang-hyun, earned the decision. Reporter Jang Yun-hee has the pro baseball report. [Reporter] Ryu Hyun-jin kept SSG off the board through five innings, but the game turned in the sixth when Choi Ji-hoon’s bunt single triggered a rally. O Tae-gon, Jo Hyung-woo and Park Seong-han followed with consecutive hits to take the lead, and Eredia added a two-run single to stretch the advantage. When the lineup turned around, Choi Ji-hoon came up again and delivered another RBI single, quickly making it 6–1 and sending Ryu off the mound. SSG poured it on, totaling 14 runs on 12 hits, highlighted by Choi Jeong’s three-run homer in the eighth, en route to a blowout. While SSG’s offense was busy, starter Kim Geon-woo held firm: 5 2/3 innings, five hits, one run, and his fourth win of the season — tying him for the league lead. 「Kim Geon-woo / SSG Landers」 “He’s a veteran I can learn a lot from, and I really respect him. Even while I was pitching I paid attention to how he finished innings and learned a lot by watching him. I think that showed up in today’s result.” Hanwha chairman Kim Seung-yeon was at the ballpark for the first time this season, but the team couldn’t deliver a win. LG, which had just suffered back-to-back walk-off losses to first-place KT, trailed 3–5 through seven innings and looked headed for another defeat. In the top of the eighth, leadoff hitter Cheon Seong-ho sparked a comeback, and Moon Bo-kyung, Park Hae-min and Koo Bon-hyuk followed with a string of RBI hits to flip the game. With closer Yoo Young-chan sidelined by injury, Ham Deok-ju shut the door and LG snapped its losing streak. At Jamsil, Doosan beat Samsung for its second straight win, keyed by Park Joon-soon’s three-RBI double in the bottom of the eighth with two outs and the bases loaded. This is Jang Yun-hee for Yonhap News TV.
