Moon Dong-joo (21, Hanwha Eagles) started at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 8th and allowed six hits, two walks, one out and eight strikeouts and three runs (two earned) in five innings. At that time, the starting pitcher for Samsung was Won Tae-in (24). Both Moon Dong-ju and Won Tae-in have experience in selecting national teams and have raised expectations as 'Ace'.
a showdown between national right-handers. Won Tae-in played six innings, one more than Moon Dong-ju, but he also had one run. In the end, Moon Dong-ju had six wins (seven losses) of the season, and Won Tae-in had his sixth loss (10 wins).
Both Moon Dong-ju and Won Tae-in got off to a shaky start, allowing two runs in the first inning. Moon Dong-ju faced a crisis with a walk and a pitch as his control was shaken, eventually leading to a run. On the other hand, Won Tae-in struggled to squeeze Hanwha's batters with active swings and sacrifice bunt. As he made his first complete victory against Daegu SSG on the 2nd, throwing 110 pitches, he may have had some fatigue left. However, since then, he has played a role as a starting pitcher by stably playing the game.
According to the rotation, Moon Dong-ju was supposed to take the mound on the 7th and Won Tae-in on the 8th. However, Hanwha's match was postponed once due to rain, resulting in a face-off.
A face-off between heaven and earth. The two also spent time eating together before the game. Moon Dong-ju said, `I joked and joked with Tae-in (Won) that we were pushed back by the rain and faced each other.' `Certainly, Tae-in is far above the mound. I learned a lot." Dong-ju Moon continued "I didn't have much time off during the game. That's how good Tae-in threw."

However, the part where three four dunes poured out in the first inning needs to be improved. Moon started the game difficult with a walk in the first inning. There could be a lot of runs, but each element went over well. There was a point in the first inning, so I threw it comfortably"It's not good to do it once every game. Both the hit rate and the on-base percentage are high. I think I need to think about how to throw well in the first inning. But I don't care too much, and I'm trying to do the same as I did. Rather, if you pay attention, you can get bad results, so I'm going to think about various things."
In addition, he added "There are a lot of regrets in today's game, but I think I will be able to prepare well for the next game. We will supplement it well and produce good results."
Hanwha has started to gain momentum with 10 wins and 2 losses in its last 12 games. Moon Dong-ju said, `In the beginning, I was so bad that the team could have competed higher, but I couldn't. It's not finished yet. Just because you didn't do well in the beginning doesn't mean you'll let it go. Since we have a lot of seasons left, we'll try to create as many situations as possible for the team to fight, regardless of individual wins"I'm determined.
