Even ace David Buchanan could not stop the Samsung Lions from losing 13 straight.



Samsung lost 0-6 against the Kiwoom Heroes of the Pro Baseball 2022 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul today (23rd).



Samsung, which recorded 12 consecutive losses until the previous day, tried to escape from the losing streak with ace Buchanan on this day, but failed to overcome Kiwoom's wall in both offense and defense and fell into a swamp of 13 straight losses.



The expected Buchanan failed to save the team from a losing streak, sluggishly allowing three runs in 3⅔ innings.



In the 1st inning, Kiwoom Kim Hwi-jip allowed 2 RBIs and triples to give him a lead, and in the 3rd inning, he gave Lee Ji-young a push-out walk and collapsed.



To make matters worse, Buchanan suffered a bruise to the thumb of his right hand while trying to catch the second inning with his bare hands and had to step off the mound early.



After bruising his finger, Buchanan had expressed his intention to remain on the mound, but his position had already fallen significantly.



Buchanan's fastball, which had a maximum speed of 151 km/h that day, did not exceed 142 km/h after the third inning.



In the end, Buchanan allowed Jung-hoo Lee to walk in the 4th two-out and then kicked it early.



Pil-Jun Jang, who was on the mound after Buchanan, held out by blocking 2⅓ innings without a goal, but Samsung's batting line undoubtedly disappoints.



He was tied to Kiwoom's starting yokishi and did not score even a single point until the 7th inning.



He did not score against Choi Won-tae, who appeared in the bullpen for the first time in 2,141 days in the 8th inning, and in the 9th inning, he failed to attack Kim Tae-hoon and suffered a Youngbong defeat.



Rather, in the 7th inning, Kiwoom ran away 5-0 with a one-run home run by Hye-Sung Kim and one RBI by Hwi-jip Kim, putting a wedge in the game.



Kiwoom also ran one more point in the 8th with Kim Hye-sung's just-time hit.



Yokishi, who played 7 innings without a score, took his 8th win (4 losses) in 39 days after the Doosan Bears match on the 14th of last month.
