Kia lost an away game against the Kiwoom Heroes 10-11 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Sunday. It won in both the first and second games of the three consecutive games to secure the winning series early on, but lost the entire game in the third game. Kia, which tied for sixth place with 16 wins and 19 losses in this season, will play three consecutive away games of the Incheon SSG Landers starting from Friday after a day off.메이저사이트
It was the result of his away trip to Incheon that was heavy. KIA led 10-3 until the top of the eighth inning on the day. Notably, even when Kim Do-young had a sweeping double with the bases loaded with no outs in the top of the eighth inning, when the team led 7-3, the team was expected to win easily. However, it was hard to believe in the bottom of the eighth inning. Choi Ji-min (two runs with two outs during 0 innings), Kim Geon-guk (two runs on 3 hits during 1 third innings), and Cho Sang-woo (two runs on 1 hit and 1 run on 1 out) allowed 8 runs on 4 hits and 5 outs during the 1st inning, resulting in upset of the gap. Except for Kim, the three players made a must-win group, but failed to suppress the Kiwoom lineup, which was in the current situation.
He allowed "big innings" in the eighth inning due to walks on balls. Choi Ji-min (1 of 9 pitches), Kim Geon-guk (5 of 9 pitches), Jo Sang-woo (7 of 18 pitches) and Jeong Hae-young (6 of 14 pitches) were all on shaky ground. As he failed to catch strikes at the first pitch, he had no choice but to count balls. Of the 50 pitches in total, the four players had 19 strikes (38 percent). In the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, closing pitcher Jeong Hae-young recorded balls up to his second pitch in all three batters. Prior to the game on the day, Kia's bullpen allowed 5.23 walks per nine innings in this season, ranking ninth in the league. It was one of the potential causes of anxiety, but as his ball control faltered simultaneously, he had no chance to overcome it.
Kia's winning percentage in games leading up to the seventh inning fell to 0.800 (12-3) this year due to its loss on Tuesday. The gap is not small compared with the Hanwha Eagles and the LG Twins, who have won all 19 games and 20 games in the league. It remains to be seen whether the team will be able to resolve the backdoor policy.
