KIA's Kim Gyu-seong, who scored the winning run as a pinch runner in the 8th inning, is making a heart with his hand. KIA won a comeback victory over Lotte 6-5 on the 21st.

On the day that 'great pitcher' Yang Hyeon-jong set the record for most strikeouts in Korean professional baseball, KIA also escaped its 'giant fear' with a thrilling comeback win. On the
21st, KIA won 6-5 in a fierce battle with Lotte at the Gwangju KIA Champions Field after repeated comebacks. Leading KIA, which continued its five-game winning streak, widened its lead over second-place Samsung, which lost to Doosan on the same day, to six games. KIA, which

has been led by new manager Lee Beom-ho, has maintained its lead this season, but has not had much fun in matches against Lotte. Up until the day before, the record against Lotte was 3 wins, 7 losses, and 1 draw. The only draw was a game where they were leading 14-1 but then allowed a comeback and barely managed to end in a draw. In the game against Lotte on the 20th, they also suffered the misfortune of being declared a no-game due to sudden heavy rain in the top of the fourth inning when they were leading 3-1.

The road to victory that day was also full of twists and turns. Starting pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong shut out the Lotte batting lineup until the 4th inning without giving up a run. Yang Hyeon-jong, who was only 2 strikeouts away from Song Jin-woo (retired)’s career record of 2,048 before the game, struck out the opposing batter Yoon Dong-hee with a swing and a miss in the top of the 3rd inning, recording his 2,049th career strikeout. This was a new record, surpassing Song Jin-woo (retired)’s career record of 2,048 strikeouts. Yang Hyeon-jong added 7 more strikeouts that day, becoming the greatest “Dr. K” in Korean professional baseball with 2,053 career strikeouts.

However, in the top of the 5th inning, when Yang Hyun-jong suddenly faltered while leading 3-0, the game became even more uncertain. Yang Hyun-jong allowed a solo home run to Noh Jin-hyeok, and then allowed a go-ahead 3-run home run to Son Ho-young. KIA tied the game at 4-4 with Kim Sun-bin’s timely hit in the bottom of the 5th. Yang Hyun-jong, who allowed 7 hits, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts, and 4 runs in 5 innings, handed the mound over to Kwak Do-gyu in the top of the 6th inning when the game was tied at 4-4. However, when Kwak Do-gyu immediately allowed a go-ahead solo home run to Lotte’s Jeon Jun-woo, KIA was once again in danger of defeat.

The sky seemed to be unwilling to cooperate with the previous day. In the bottom of the 7th, KIA had runners on 1st and 2nd base with Choi Won-jun getting on base on a 2nd base error and Kim Do-young getting on a left-field hit. However, the game was suddenly suspended due to heavy rain. If the game had ended like that, it would have been a rain-cold game.
Fortunately, the rain stopped and the game resumed, and KIA tied the score at 5-5 with Na Sung-beom’s sacrifice fly.

And in the promised 8th inning, the game was finally turned around. Leadoff hitter Lee Woo-seong’s long ball to right field was blocked by Lotte right fielder Yoon Dong-hee’s diving catch, but with 2 outs, Byun Woo-hyuk hit a double to left-center to rekindle the flame. Pinch runner Kim Gyu-seong advanced to third base when Lotte pitcher Kim Sang-su threw a wild pitch. With 2 outs and a runner on 3rd base, the next batter, Park Chan-ho, hit a ground ball in front of the 3rd baseman, but Lotte 3rd baseman Son Ho-young missed the ball as he advanced, allowing Kim Kyu-seong, who was on 3rd base, to score the 6th run to turn the game around.
Jung Hae-young, who came up to the mound in the 9th inning with a one-run lead, pitched a scoreless inning, allowing KIA to complete a thrilling one-run comeback victory.

NC finally broke out of its 11-game losing streak with an 8-2 victory over Hanwha in an away game in Cheongju.
Starting pitcher Lee Yong-jun recorded his first win of the season with five scoreless innings, while national team catcher Kim Hyung-jun played a key role in the victory with three consecutive home runs. Kim Hyung-jun, who had a batting average of .100 until the previous day, hit a solo home run in the fifth inning to lead 2-0, a three-run home run in the sixth inning, and another solo home run in the eighth inning. It was his first home run of the season and his 57th career home run in three consecutive at-bats.

Doosan defeated Samsung 5-2 in an away game in Pohang. Down 0-2 early in the game, Doosan cut the score to one point in the fourth inning with a solo home run by new foreign hitter Jared Young, and turned the game around in the fifth inning with two outs and bases loaded with Lee Yoo-chan hitting a two-RBI single that went just over the second baseman's head. Jared hit a timely hit to drive in another run. In the 6th inning, Kim
Jae-hwan hit a solo home run to seal the win. Doosan closer Kim Taek-yeon, who came on in the 9th inning with the score at 5-2, pitched a scoreless inning and recorded his 16th save, tying the record for most saves by a high school graduate rookie set by Na Seung-hyun (formerly of Lotte) in 2006. At 19 years, 2 months, and 18 days, Kim Taek-yeon also set the record for the youngest save against all teams.

In Jamsil, SSG beat LG 5-1 to escape a four-game losing streak, and in Suwon, KT crushed Kiwoom 5-0.
