KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul praised the players who won four consecutive games.
KT won the first game of the last three consecutive games of the first half against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 2nd after a close game of overtime.
Hwang Jae-kyun's final hit and Kang Hyun-woo and Rojas' net hit at the top of the 11th inning of extra time, which was 3-3 against each other, seemed to win with ease. However, Park Si-young, who finished in the bottom of the 11th inning due to the consumption of the bullpen, shook and faced a crisis. Still, Park Si-young was able to keep the victory by inducing the last Moon Hyun-bin to a straight hit to the pitcher after two runs.
KT set the stage for victory with starting pitcher Cuevas, who returned after taking a break from taking the mound of Lotte Giants on the 20th of last month, pitching well with three runs in six innings. And Kang Hyun-woo, who came out as the starting catcher on the day, hit a precious three-run home run in the top of the fifth inning and hit a guitar in the 11th inning, becoming another hero. And it was also impressive that Hwang Jae-kyun, who was the party to the controversy over the strikeout ceremony against Park Sang-won on the 5th of last month, met Park Sang-won again and hit a valuable finishing hit. Finally, Park Si-young, who finished the game in a burdensome situation in the bottom of the 11th inning due to Park Young-hyun's early input, was also forced to praise him. He allowed two runs, but it was his first save on his debut.
Coach Lee said after the game, "Cuevas started for the first time in a long time, and he did his part enough. It was good pitching. Then Kim Min-soo, Kim Min-min, Park Young-hyun and Park Si-young all defended the lead. In particular, Kim Min and Park Young-hyun have consistently shown good pitching even in close games."
Manager Lee continued, "Kang Hyun-woo hit a three-run home run in the batting line to balance the game, and hitters did not lose their concentration in overtime. Hwang Jae-gyun and Kang Hyun-woo's timely hits were crucial to Oh Jae-il's on-base. Kang Hyun-woo played a good role in the lineup, including four RBIs today" he evaluated. Kang Hyun-woo made his first four RBIs since his debut. He hit multiple hits, including home runs, which was also the most hit tie in a game.
