The KIA Tigers, which are struggling to advance into fall baseball, are deeply sighing at the sluggishness of native ace Yang Hyeon-jong.먹튀검증
KIA lost 6-9 in a home game against Kiwoom Heroes held at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field on the 15th. As a result, KIA, who recorded two consecutive losses, could not narrow the ride with Doosan in 5th place, who lost to kt that day, and maintained a 1.5 game difference.
Last weekend, KIA, who recorded a losing series against Lotte in a three-game series, tried to escape the losing streak with native ace Yang Hyeon-jong at the fore. In particular, the opponent on this day was the lowest Kiwoom, who has recently been recording 4 consecutive losses, so expectations for victory were higher than ever.
The problem was the content of Yang Hyeon-jong’s pitching. He recorded a loss against Kiwoom with 6 hits (1 home run), 4 runs and 7 runs in 5.2 innings.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who continued pitching without a loss until the 3rd inning, was shaken sharply in the 4th inning. Ang Hyeon-jong, who allowed Lee Won-seok to go on base with a right-handed hit after one out, induced a second baseman grounder to the follow-up Lee Joo-hyung, caught the leading runner, and left only one out until the end of the inning.
However, after giving up a double to Jeon Byeong-woo after two outs, he was in danger of being loaded with bases by a straight walk to Kim Dong-heon. Afterwards, Yang Hyeon-jong, who gave Kim Jun-hwan a kick-off walk after a full count match, collapsed by allowing Kim Hye-seong a grand slam that went over the right-middle fence.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who had allowed Lee Hak-joo a home run against Sajik Lotte on June 2, gave up his second grand home run this season and bowed his head.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who finished the inning after turning Dawson into a first baseman grounder after allowing a home run, climbed the mound in the 5th inning and finished the inning with three batters, filling the 5 innings.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who was on the mound in the 6th inning, struck out Lee Joo-hyung and Jeon Byeong-woo in a row and raised his momentum, but after two outs, he gave up another walk to Kim Dong-heon and was shaken.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who gave up a hit to follow-up Kim Jun-wan and faced a crisis with 2nd, 1st and 3rd bases, came down the mound with another timely hit by Kim Hye-seong, who allowed a grand home run in the 4th inning.
Kim Ki-hoon, who came up to save Yang Hyeon-jong, allowed Dawson to hit at the right time, bringing Yang Hyeon-jong’s earned run to 7.
As KIA lost as it was, Hyeonjong Yang recorded his 7th loss (5 wins) of the season. The average ERA for the season rose from 4.01 to 4.39.
In particular, Yang Hyeon-jong has not recorded a victory for over a month after achieving his 5th win of the season with 5 innings and 1 run against SSG on the 6th of last month.
In his four appearances since the SSG match, he recorded only three losses without a win. In the home game against LG on the 8th, which was the previous pitch, a whopping 8 runs were scored in 2 innings, but a no game was declared due to heavy rain.
Even on the day when a native ace is on the mound, KIA’s possibility of advancing into fall baseball, which is difficult to win, is also fading.
