The Doosan Bears of the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO), who made a change to escape a 3-7 slump in the second half of the season, started the week off with a win to move over the top of the standings.
The Doosan Bears won the 10th game of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League against the Kiwoom Heroes 6-3 on Wednesday at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.
With the sweep of the three-game series, Doosan snapped a two-game losing streak and a three-game losing streak in Jamsil to improve to 50 wins (2-0, 46-2) on the season. The team changed its pitching coach, bullpen coach, battery coach, and operations coach before the game, and released foreign-born hitter Henry Ramos, and the changes made a difference.
Choi Jun-ho pitched five innings of three-hit ball, two walks, six strikeouts, and three runs on 89 pitches to earn his third win of the season (four wins) in two months, his first since May 23 against the SSG Landers in Jamsil. Lee Byung-heon (1 inning of scoreless relief), Hong Gun-hee (1 inning of scoreless relief), Lee Young-ha (1 inning of scoreless relief), and Kim Taek-yeon (1 inning of scoreless relief) followed, with Kim earning his 10th save of the season.
Kim became the youngest player in KBO history to earn 10 saves at 19 years, 1 month, and 20 days old.
The previous record was 19 years, 2 months, and 10 days set by Na Seung-hyun of the Lotte Giants on June 16, 2006, against the Sasik Hyundai Unicorns.
At the plate, Heo Kyung-min, Yang Seok-hwan, and Jeon Min-jae all had multi-hit games, including the game-winning home run by Lee Yoo-chan. 온라인카지노사이트 Kiwoom’s starting pitcher, the reigning All-Star Enmanuel De Jesus, gave up five runs on nine hits (one home run) with three walks and three strikeouts in 5⅔ innings.
Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said after the game, “For the second straight game, Choi Jun-ho pitched better than expected. I was impressed with his aggressive use of four pitches – fastball, slider, forkball, and curveball.” ”I would also like to praise the bullpen. Hong Gun-hee, Lee Young-ha, and Kim Taek-yeon pitched one inning each. Congratulations to Kim Taek-yeon on her 10th save, the youngest ever.”
“At the plate, Lee Yoo-chan’s home run in the first inning set the tone for the game. When we needed extra runs, our center fielders, including Yang Ji Yang and Seok-hwan Yang, came through.”
Doosan will try to extend its winning streak on the 24th with homegrown ace Kwak Bin. Kiwoom will send Ha Young-min to the mound.
