Hanwha, KT, Kium, laughed out loud on the day the bat exploded

When the bat explodes, Ryu can easily win. Amid strong support from his batters, Ryu garnered his third win in this season in 19 days. His overall win in the KBO League came to 101.

Hanwha won the game against Samsung at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 19th by a wide margin of 12-2 and escaped its four-game losing streak.

Ryu started the game with two runs on Ahn Chi-hong's two-run homer in the top of the first inning. Ryu, who had to continue a tight race in the previous game as he pitched well but failed to score a point, calmly played the game amid scoring support. He tied the heated Samsung batters to three hits in five innings, and gave no score at all.

As Ryu successfully blocked the first inning, the Hanwha Eagles' lineup exploded again in the second inning. After Moon hit a two-run homer, Kim Tae-yeon added a two-run homer, and Jonathan Peraza added a three-run homer in the third inning with one out and runners on first and second bases with the team leading 7-0, which ultimately divided the game. Ryu threw only 80 pitches until the fifth inning and easily passed the mound. The Hanwha Eagles' lineup recorded 17 hits, including four home runs.

KT, which has been agonizing over possible injuries to its starters, also beat LG by a large margin, 10-4, thanks to the robust batting lineup. Kang Baek-ho's homerun in the bottom of the fourth inning started its chase after the team was losing 0-3. Earlier, Peraza led the game with his 14th homerun at the match against Samsung in Daegu, but Kang hit his 14th homerun to maintain joint leadership in the home run category.

Son Dong-hyun, who took the mound from the third inning, blocked three scoreless innings to pave the way for a come-from-behind victory.

Kiwoom, which was at the bottom of the standings along with Hanwha KT, also garnered a landslide victory of 10-3 at a home game against the SSG with its bat. Lee Ju-hyung and Dawson hit home runs, and posted a whopping 13 hits in their short and long range.

In contrast, the match between Kia and NC, where the top-ranked teams faced off, involved a tight race between pitchers. KIA starter Yang Hyeon-jong allowed only one run in six innings, but failed to become the winning pitcher, and Lee Woo-sung hit a home run from NC's closing pitcher Lee Yong-chan in the top of the ninth inning to score the winning run. KIA swept the three consecutive games against NC, solidifying its top position with four consecutive wins. Its gap with second-ranked Samsung widened to three games.

In Jamsil, Doosan and Lotte had a close game until the 12th inning, but failed to decide the game 3-3. For Lotte, it was regrettable that second baseman Yoo Kang-nam was out at home when Yoon Dong-hee hit first and second bases with two outs in the top of the 12th inning.
