Foreign pitcher Denny Reyes voluntarily left the mound after spraining his ankle during pitching.
Reyes started against the KIA Tigers at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 11th and was cruising with seven hits, no four outs, one strikeout and three runs until the fifth inning.
With no walks, the number of pitches was only 62 until the fifth inning.
I felt strange while dealing with the lead Kim Do-young in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 4-3 lead.
After throwing a slider ball on the third pitch following two fouls, he suddenly called his trainer to the mound due to a dugout. He complained of discomfort by pointing to his left foot, which is the side of his stepping foot. Eventually, after consulting with the pitching coach and trainer, I went down the mound.
In the ball count 1B2S, right-hander Lee Seung-hyun rushed to the mound and continued against Kim Do-young.
Reyes, who faced Kia's new foreign Eric Lauer as a starter, showed a comparative advantage and gave the team the lead. Lauer gave up four runs in three ⅓, but Reyes held a 4-3 lead and lasted five innings.

However, when Samsung made it 3-3 in the top of the second inning with Kang Min-ho's solo shot, Park Byung-ho's timely double, and Lee Sung-kyu's lucky timely hit, it stabilized from the bottom of the second inning. Two or three times in a row. In the fourth inning, he also got an infield hit by Kim Sun-bin after one out, but he caught him as a checker.
In the fifth inning, with one out and runners on the first and third bases, he induced Choi Won-joon to hit a ground ball on the first base and finished the inning by catching the third baseman at home.
A Samsung official said "Reyes suffered pain when his left ankle was folded inward during the pitching process. We are currently performing treatment and checking the condition" he explained.
