Lotte Giants foreign pitcher Charlie Barnes, who had even been raised with the possibility of being kicked out at the beginning of the season, dramatically revived in his first appearance in May.
Lotte won 3-0 in a home game against Doosan Bears in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 10th, thanks to a good pitch by starter Barnes.
After recently winning 9 games in a row, Lotte, which fell into a 2-game losing streak, succeeded in reversing the atmosphere again with the victory on this day.
The main contributor to the victory was Barnes. Barnes, who was sluggish with an ERA of 7.58 in April, blocked 6⅔ innings with 2 hits, no runs and 8 strikeouts, and won his 2nd win (1 loss) of the season. He recorded his first quality start in his sixth appearance this season.
After giving up a walk to Yang Eui-ji in the top of the second inning, Barnes was hit by Yang Seok-hwan to the left and was driven to the 1st and 2nd bases safely. However, after that, he laid the foundation for a good fight by dealing with Heo Gyeong-min, Yang Chan-yeol, and Park Gye-beom consecutively.
Lotte batting line also scored the necessary points. At the end of the 3rd inning, Koh Seung-min’s right double hit the first run at the chance of 1 company, 1st and 2nd base. In the bottom of the 4th inning, he hit a solo home run that went over the left wall of lead batter An Chi-hong.
In the bottom of the 7th inning, Lotte also put a wedge in the game with Yoo Kang-nam’s 1-run double to the right fielder.
Doosan starter Choi Won-jun recorded his 4th quality start this season with 7 hits and 3 runs in 7 innings, but he did not receive help from the other line and became a losing pitcher. In 6 matches this season, they lost only 3 without a win 토스카지노.
