Starting pitchers saved face in the first fall baseball game of 2023.
Doosan’s native ace Kwak Bin started in the first game of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO postseason wild card decision against NC held at Changwon NC Park on the 19th, but allowed 4 hits (2 home runs) and 5 runs in 3.2 innings.
Kwak Bin came down from the mound with the score down 3-5, but Doosan tied the game on a counterattack in the top of the 5th inning, leaving him without a win or loss. Before today’s game, Kwak Bin had appeared in a total of 4 postseason games, but had only 2 losses and an ERA of 4.40.
Kwak Bin allowed a left-field hit to Son Ah-seop in the top of the first inning, but later succeeded in hitting 10 batters in a row with one out in the fourth inning. The Doosan batting line also supported the local ace by scoring one run each time from the first to the third inning. However, in the fourth inning with one out, Kwak Bin gave up a walk to Park Geon-woo, a hit to right field to Kwon Hee-dong, and a walk to Kim Joo-won, putting him in danger of having the bases loaded with two outs, and allowing Seo Ho-cheol to hit with the bases loaded. He also hit a solo home run to Kim Hyeong-jun, who came next. Doosan immediately removed Kwak Bin and brought in Kim Myeong-shin.
NC foreign pitcher Tanner Turley also showed disappointment. Tanner, who entered the KBO League stage as a substitute player in August of this year, recorded 5 wins, 2 losses, and an average ERA of 2.92 in 11 games.토토사이트
However, on this day, he was shaken, allowing 7 hits (1 home run) and 5 runs in 4 innings. Tanner gave up one point each in the first through third innings. The NC batting line succeeded in a comeback by scoring 5 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning. However, Tanner allowed a walk to Kim Jae-ho and a left-field hit to pinch hitter Kim Jae-hwan in the 5th inning, putting himself in danger with no outs on first and second base.
The NC bench took Tanner off and brought in Lee Jae-hak, but it was shaken and all of the runners sent out by Tanner hit home. Tanner’s runs totaled 5. Tanner relied heavily on breaking balls instead of fastballs, but it was painful that his control was shaky.
