LG won 9-1 against Doosan in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd.
LG continued its upward trend with three consecutive wins, and Doosan lost three consecutive games to remain in fourth place.
From the first inning, LG beat Doosan’s alternative starter Kim Yoo-sung to his heart’s content.
After Hong Chang-ki and Moon Sung-joo reached base with a hit ball and a walk, respectively, Kim Hyun-soo and Austin Dean exploded consecutive timely hits to make it 3-0 at once.
Detrick Ence, a foreign pitcher who was warned by LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop for his sluggish performance recently, tied up Doosan’s batters as if he was awake.
Until the fifth inning, he gave up only one hit to Doosan and pitched a scoreless game.
LG ran further with a 4-0 run thanks to Kim Hyun-soo’s solo home run to the left in the top of the fifth inning.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Ence allowed a solo home run to the left wall to Doosan’s Henry Ramos, but he did his part without giving any more points.
There was also a crisis in LG. Choi Dong-hwan, the third pitcher of the eighth inning, got consecutive hits by Kim Jae-ho and Yang Eui-ji with one out.
LG put left-handed bullpen Kim Yoo-young and right-handed bullpen Kim Dae-hyun in succession to strike out Kim Jae-hwan with a swing and throw cold water on Doosan.
LG sealed the victory by adding five more runs as its batters exploded, with Park Dong-won, Hong Chang-ki and Moon Sung-joo hitting three consecutive hits in the ninth inning with no outs and no outs.
N.S. garnered two hits (one home run) and three walks, six strikeouts and one run in six innings to win for the sixth time (two losses) in this season. In addition, he has had quality start (less than three earned runs in six innings) in the recent two consecutive games.
