Hurado pitched seven innings of two-hit ball with five strikeouts and no walks to improve to 7-4 on the season. Last season, he had a 5.11 ERA against Hanwha. Today was different. It was clean. Kim Sun-ki followed with one inning of two-hit relief and Park Seung-ju pitched one inning of two-hit relief.
After the game, manager Hong Won-ki said, "Hurado pitched like an ace, dominating the opponent for seven innings. He also had a perfect chemistry with Kim Jae-hyun."
Jang Jae-young, who made his batting debut with a call-up to the first team just a month after switching to the outfield, started in the No. 9 spot in center field. Jae-young drew a walk in the third inning and a double in the fourth against Moon Dong-joo. On the day, Jang went 1-for-2 with a double, a run scored, and two walks.
Jang wasn't the only Kiwoom batting lineup to shine. Lee Joo-hyung hit a two-run home run.

The veteran also reached the 2,000-game mark in his career. Yong-kyu became the 15th player in KBO history to reach 2,000 games and 2,000 hits.
"Defensively, we kept the game close thanks to Kim Jae-hyun's stolen base in the fourth inning and Song Sung-moon's catch in the fifth," said Hong Won-ki. In the offense, Lee Joo-hyung's two-run homer in the third inning gave us the lead, and Lee Jae-sang's addition in the sixth and Kim Jae-hyun's wedge in the seventh decided the game." "Congratulations to Lee Yong-gyu on his 2000th game. Jang Jae-young, who made his batting debut, also showed a solid performance." He also pointed out the performance of the batting lineup.
