SSG Landers Elias took the mound as a starting pitcher in a game against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 14th. Elias cooked the KIA lineup well with five hits, four strikeouts, two walks and three runs in six innings.
There were three runs in the bottom of the third inning, but he led the defense stably until the sixth inning because of the score given by the overlapping defensive error plays. In the bottom of the first inning, he induced a double play against Na Sung-bum with one out and the bases loaded, and in the bottom of the second inning, he caught a double play against Kim Tae-gun with one out and one out.
In the bottom of the third inning, Elias, who allowed two runs when Park Chan-ho made a timely hit with no outs and runners on the second and third bases, and later allowed a turnaround by scoring three runs due to errors in the first baseman's catch, turned all the central hitters leading to Choi Hyung-woo, Na Sung-bum and Kim Sun-bin into miscues to prevent an additional run crisis.
Later, in the bottom of the fourth inning, leadoff hitter Byun Woo-hyuk got on base due to third baseman Choi Jeong's port error, but he ended the inning without losing a point, and he passed the fifth and sixth innings without much crisis.
SSG regained the lead with a score of 4-3. Elias, who had 87 pitches through the end of the sixth inning, took the mound again with the seventh inning to go. Considering the number of pitches, it was expected to be able to catch up to the seventh inning and at least two outs.
However, Elias, who took the mound before the start of the inning, called the referee. After a brief conversation through an interpreter, I called pitching coach Song Sung-young this time. Coach Song Sung-young, who went up to the mound and examined Elias' condition, immediately signed a 'X' sign on the bench, and Elias came down the mound without facing a batter of the inning due to his injury. Noh Kyung-eun, who was warming up in the bullpen, took the mound instead. As Noh Kyung-eun allowed a tie in the bottom of the seventh inning, Elias' winning requirements also disappeared.
An official from the SSG club "Sudden numbness occurred in the right forearm area. I feel like I have a cramp, so I don't think it's a big injury. There are no hospital checkups scheduled.
