Lotte lost 6-10 against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 9th. Lotte, which had won four consecutive games, arrived in Suwon early after the Busan NC Dinos match was canceled due to rain the previous day, and tried to win five consecutive games in good condition, but failed.
On the other hand, KT, which returned home in a good mood with two consecutive wins against the leading KIA Tigers during the week, has won three consecutive games and rekindled the mid-range fight.
It was a game leaning toward KT early on. In the first inning, both teams were scoreless, but something ominous hit Lotte. KT starter Benjamin perfectly retired with three outs, while Lotte starter Park Se-woong took two outs and gave up consecutive walks to Kim Sang-soo and Oh Jae-il. There was no loss, but the ball control was shaking from the beginning.

Lotte couldn't stay still, either. Son Sung-bin, the leader of the third inning, hit a lightning chase solo shot against Benjamin, who was playing well. Benjamin's body ball was perfect, and Son Sung-bin turned over the fence with an artistic swing. It was his fifth homer of the season and his first two consecutive home runs in his career.
However, Park Se-woong couldn't hold out. Park Se-woong allowed an infield hit to the leadoff Kim Min-hyuk in the third inning, and second baseman Ko Seung-min's error put the runner on base to second base. And he gave up a timely hit to Bae Jeong-dae.

Lotte chased one run in the fifth inning with Park Seung-wook's timely hit, but Ko Seung-min hit a double play through the bases-loaded chance that followed and was forced to hit the ground.

KT did not relax in the bottom of the eighth inning and delighted home fans with Kim Min-hyuk's RBI timely hit. Lotte did not give up in the ninth inning and was able to take comfort from chasing Na Seung-yeop's RBI timely hit and drawing out the opponent's must-win group Kim Min. Roh Jin-hyuk's solo shot was also glad to see him after a long time.
KT starter Benjamin earned his ninth win of the season by allowing two runs (one earned run) in seven innings. Three hits, two walks and five strikeouts. He hit a maximum speed of 150 kilometers on a fastball.

Among KT hitters, Hwang Jae-kyun recorded multiple hits, including a three-run shot, and achieved a record of 100 hits for 13 consecutive seasons in KBO history. Bae Jeong-dae also swept four hits and two RBIs. Kim Min-hyuk played with four hits, one RBI, and four runs.
