Samsung, led by head coach Park Jin-man, won 4 consecutive games by winning 8-3 in the 14th game of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League SSG Landers at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 4th, making 56 wins, 2 draws and 48 losses in the season.토토사이트
The player who laid the groundwork for victory was starting pitcher Connor. Connor pitched six innings of seven hits (one homer), three strikeouts and three runs scored, securing his ninth win of the season. Connor also achieved quality starts (more than six innings and three earned runs or less) in three consecutive games following the game against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on April 24 and the game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on April 30. In the batting lineup, Lee Jae-hyun performed his part by making three hits and three RBIs, including a wedge-shaped two-run shot.
Having failed to win even a single game in three consecutive weekend games, SSG failed to secure a 50 percent win rate as it plunged into a quagmire for four consecutive games. Its performance for this season has reached 51 wins, one draw and 52 losses. Kim Kwang-hyun, who had showdowns with Connor as the starting pitcher, was sluggish in three innings, allowing three hits, eight four strikeouts and four runs. The bullpen pitcher also failed to prevent his team from losing consecutive games, as the team left behind lower-than-expected results. The number of walks and throws recorded by SSG pitchers including Kim Kwang-hyun was 13.

SSG, which wanted to avoid losing consecutive games, scored the first run. In the top of the first inning, leadoff Jihoon Choi was out with a fly ball after a game of 12 pitches, and Choo Shin-soo and Herredia got on base with hits and a hit ball, respectively. Han Yu-som, who had a chance to have runners on the first and second bases with one out, called in second baseman Choo Shin-soo’s home with a hit to the right field. Lee Ji-young, the follow-up hitter, hit a timely RBI, and the score was 2-0.

Samsung also gained strength. In the bottom of the first inning, he drew two walks to make runners on first and second bases with one out, and Kim Young-woong’s timely hit to catch up. Lee Sung-kyu, who met Kim Kwang-hyun with runners on the first and third bases with one out, struck out, but Ryu Ji-hyuk hit a timely hit to balance the game 2-2.
SSG starter Kim Kwang-hyun, who had three outs in the bottom of the first inning alone, showed signs of nervousness in the bottom of the second inning as well. With two walks and a hit ball, Samsung was in danger of loading the bases with one out. Samsung did not miss this opportunity. Kim Young-woong guided third baseman Lee Byung-hun to the home plate with a sacrifice fly to the left field, turning the game around 3-2.
While SSG was scoreless after getting on base as a leadoff hitter in the top of the second inning and the top of the third inning, Samsung raised the mood by scoring three consecutive innings. In the bottom of the third inning, leadoff hitter Ryu Ji-hyuk walked out, and after Lee Jae-hyun’s grounder, follow-up hitter Kim Hyun-joon got on base with a hit.
After Kim Kwang-hyun’s wild pitch, Samsung continued its chances of runners on the second and third bases with one out, and added one more point by scoring third baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk when Lee Byung-hun grounded out to third base. The score was 4-2. Kim Kwang-hyun, who ended the inning without additional runs, could no longer keep the mound as the number of pitches increased to 80.
Samsung added another run in the bottom of the fourth inning. Lee Sung-kyu and Ryu Ji-hyuk drew walks one after another with two outs, and Lee Jae-hyun, who faced Kim Taek-hyung with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, hit an RBI timely hit to lead the team to a 5-2 run.
SSG recovered one point with Choo Shin-soo’s solo shot in the top of the fifth inning, but Lee Jae-hyun’s shot put the team in a more favorable position for Samsung. Lee Jae-hyun, who had a showdown with Seo Jin-yong at the second base with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, pulled two balls with the ball count of one to shoot a two-run shot to the left. The two teams widened the gap by four points.
Samsung clearly beat the opponent’s will to chase with Koo Ja-wook’s RBI double in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the bullpen pitchers held the lead until the end as they played a scoreless relay.
