Yang Hyun-jong was traded from Kiwoom and paired with Park Dong-won, who was making his debut in the KIA, to try his fifth first win, and he struggled by throwing 42 balls in one inning.



After giving up two walks to KT batters who were persistently clinging to him, he was hit by Oh Yun-seok and Park Kyung-soo on the right time, and catcher Dong-won Park's bad throw at second base gave him three points only in the first inning.



After the 2nd time, I found stability.



He dominated KT's lineup until the 6th inning and prevented additional runs, and also struck out 5 strikeouts to achieve 1,700 strikeouts for the 3rd time in his career.



In the early 7th inning, when the score was 3-3, KIA took the lead with Kim Seok-hwan's solo home run.



If it ends like this, Yang Hyun-jong will win his first win of the season in five matches.
