Nail started in an away game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 9th and allowed six hits, one walk, four strikeouts, and four runs in five ⅓ innings to secure her eighth win (2 losses) of the season with an 11-4 victory. After winning seven games against KT Wiz on June 1, he became the winning pitcher in six games. Although he came down to second place with an earned run average (2.86), he is still good at tying for second place with multiple wins and second place with 107 strikeouts.
But the recent performance is not very good. He had 6 wins and 1 loss with an ERA of 1.64 with eight quality starts in 11 games until May, but in seven games since June, his performance fell to 2-1 with an ERA of 5.40.
In particular, the problem is that the beginning and the second half of the game are different. At the beginning, it definitely blocks it. Until the end of May, when the performance was good, the hit rate was 1904. However, after the 60th ball, it rose to 304 ri. After June, the hit rate rose from 2203 to 60 pitches to 343 after 60 pitches.
It was the same with LG at Jamsil on the 9th.
Until the fourth inning, it was simply perfect. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Moon Sung-joo took the first base due to a second baseman error. He continued his scoreless streak with 47 hits and four outs. Nail's perfect pitching caused the batters to burst in the beginning, leading 5-0 until the top of the fifth inning.
However, starting with Moon Bo-kyung in the bottom of the fifth inning, Nail got four hits and gave up two runs. Choi Hyung-woo's bases-loaded shot in the top of the sixth inning led by a big margin of 9-2 and allowed Moon Bo-kyung to double to the left-center in the bottom of the sixth inning, putting him on the verge of additional runs with no outs. In the end, he caught Park Dong-won with a catcher fly and was replaced by Kim Dae-yu. He allowed six hits and four runs in five ⅓ innings and replaced him with only 79 pitches.

Coach Lee met with reporters before the game on the 10th and said, `I'm a little worried about that, too. "I pitched quite well before the batting order went around once, but I got hit after going around once," he said. "But because it blocks so perfectly in the beginning, it may feel big to give points in the fourth and fifth innings."
Director Lee continued "The ball doesn't seem to drop much"I think you can pay a little attention to the ball combination when there is a runner. I'm talking about what to think about changing the ball mix after the batting order turns around" he said.
I stopped Nail from playing in the All-Star Game. Manager Lee said "Nail wanted to go to the All-Star Game. In every way, there was no reason not to be invited to the All-Star Game, but I soothed him. "I threw a lot this year, but I said I was sorry for the part where I was going to the All-Star Game when I had to play in the first game of the second half of the year."
Of course, I also think about resting. Manager Lee said, `Our team is not very comfortableI can't take a break, but I'm looking for a break"If you say you're in such a difficult situation, I'll think about when it's good. If it rains, I will think of various things, such as pushing you back or giving you a few more days of rest.
Meanwhile, Kia formed the starting lineup of Socrates (left fielder), Choi Won-joon (center fielder), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Byun Woo-hyuk (first baseman), Han Jun-su (captor), and Park Chan-ho (striker). Han Jun-su was put in place of Kim Tae-gun. The opponent is left-handed Detrick Ens, but there are five left-handed batters.
