The 7-7 draw was a little disappointing because of Ko Seung-min's dramatic two-run shot. Still, there was definitely income. This is because there is Choi Jun-yong who returned.스포츠토토
The Lotte Giants had a 7-7 draw after a seesaw game against the LG Twins at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 21st. In the bottom of the eighth inning, when the team was losing 5-7, Ko Seung-min fired a tiebreaking two-run shot with two outs and a runner on first base, but there was no end.
Still, it is positive that he did not score additional points against LG. On top of that, Choi Jun-yong's no-hit pitching also sparked cheers from home fans in defense.
Choi Jun-yong took the mound in the top of the 10th inning and allowed no hits, one walk, two strikeouts and no runs in two innings.
He got off to a shaky start by allowing a walk to the first-runner Moon Sung-joo in the top of the 10th inning. However, he induced Kim Hyun-soo, who attempted a sacrifice bunt, to fail, and then handled it with a fly to shortstop, and after Moon failed to steal second base, Austin Dean also caught a fly to shortstop to end the top of the 10th inning. Choi Joon-yong, who also appeared in the top of the 11th inning, struck out the first-runner Moon Bo-kyung with a 150-kilometer fastball, and Park induced a swing with a slider at the first pitch, and he caught the missed ball and threw it to the first base to get out. Song Chan-eui finished his mission by striking out swinging with a 120km curve after a close game going to the seventh pitch.
Throwing up to 152km of fast fastballs, sliders, changeups and curves, he clearly caught LG's batters, creating a chance for Lotte to finish.
Choi Jun-yong, who has been active in Lotte's must-win group, was diagnosed with micro-damage to his right elbow ligament during spring camp in February and came to the first team on the 17th after rehabilitation.
He got off to a good start against Samsung on the 17th by winning the hold with no hit and no strikeouts in one inning, but the next day against Samsung, he left a regret with only one out count and two hits, one walk and two runs.
He pitched two stable innings against LG this time and clearly got the hang of it.
For Lotte, Choi Jun-yong settled in the must-win group, and has a strong lineup and a more stable bullpen, allowing him to gain strength in the top-tier competition.
Choi Jun-yong said after the game, "I went on the mound with the thought of 'let's not give him just walks', but maybe because I was too conscious, I started with the first batter's walk. Looking back, I was disappointed about that, but I was able to easily solve the game because of Gangnam's brother's blocking of stolen bases and Ho-jun's good catching."
