Hanwha Eagles vs KIA: How a Strong Offense Overcame Pitching Woes in KBO Showdown

Daniel Kim Views  

Translation result

[Anchor] The Hanwha Eagles, slipping near the bottom of the standings amid concerns over their pitching, picked up a second straight win over the KIA Tigers. Fueled by Noh Si-hwan’s homer and timely hitting, they won — but the bullpen’s instability remained on display. This is Jang Yoon-hee with pro baseball coverage. [Reporter] Hanwha’s offense rescued a shaky pitching performance. In the top of the second, Noh Si-hwan homered off KIA starter Yang Hyeon-jong to give Hanwha an early lift. In the bottom of the second, starter Jeong Woo-ju faltered, and KIA scored two to take the lead. Hanwha answered right away in the top of the third. After one out, Moon Hyun-bin’s hit ignited a barrage of knocks that produced five runs. They manufactured another big inning in the sixth. Lee Jin-young capitalized on an error by KIA left fielder Han Seung-yeon to collect the first ground-rule homer of his career, and Noh Si-hwan followed with a three-run shot. 「Noh Si-hwan / Hanwha Eagles」 I’m not fully where I want to be yet — I’m still working my way back. I kept getting late on fastballs, so the breaking balls tended to move to the right today. I need to be bolder and get my timing on fastballs. In the eighth, Kang Baek-ho launched a solo shot into KIA’s “Seltos Zone,” taking home a vehicle valued at 30 million KRW (about $22,500). After the big innings, Hanwha led 11-4 going into the top of the ninth, but bullpen problems resurfaced in the bottom of the frame. Kim Seo-hyun, who had been called up to the first team that day, issued multiple walks and struggled, prompting the club to bring in Cushing. Cushing surrendered four runs in the ninth, and Hanwha held on for an unconvincing 11-8 victory. Samsung dominated Kiwoom behind homegrown ace Won Tae-in, extending their winning streak to four. Won delivered seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits, and picked up his first win of the season in what was arguably his best outing so far. The Lotte-KT game scheduled for Suwon was called off due to rain. This is Jang Yoon-hee for Yonhap News TV.
