Ryu Hyun-jin (36, Hanwha Eagles) couldn't laugh despite the support of six points.

Ryu Hyun-jin started in an away game against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 7th and recorded 12 hits (one homer) with four outs and three strikeouts and seven runs in five innings.

He has 12 hits in two consecutive games following the KT Wiz match on July 31. It was the most personal hit that was not even in the Major League.



In the game against KT, Ryu Hyun-jin became the winning pitcher by supporting 10 points from the lineup.

Again on this day, the batters played a proper role. He scored four points in the first inning alone, and six points in the fourth inning.



Ryu Hyun-jin also got off to a good start. In the bottom of the first inning, Kim Heon-gon hit after catching leadoff hitter Kim Hyun-joon with a ground ball. After that, both Koo Ja-wook and Kang Min-ho finished the inning by dealing with infield errors.

He allowed an infield hit to leadoff hitter Kim Young-woong in the bottom of the second inning. However, Lee Sung-kyu was treated as a third baseman double play, raising two out counts at once. Park Byung-ho was walked, but he did not lose a point while handling Lee Jae-hyun on a fly ball. In the bottom of the third inning, a leadoff hit came out, but the inning ended with a double play.



The loss came from the bottom of the fourth inning with a 6-0 lead. The leadoff hitter's on-base continued again. After a double by Koo Ja-wook, he walked Kang Min-ho. He struck out Kim Young-woong and Lee Sung-kyu with a fly ball and a strikeout, respectively, but allowed Park Byung-ho to make a timely hit and lose his first run.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who continued to be anxious, eventually collapsed in the bottom of the fifth inning. After one out, Kim Hyun-joon hit a double, and Kim Hun-gon was sent out with an infield single. Koo Ja-wook's timely hit and Kang Min-ho's two-run double followed in the crisis of first and third bases with one out. He then allowed a 6-6 tie as a high-fast ball thrown to Kim Young-woong was attacked.

The runner disappeared, but the Samsung batters, who once caught fire, continued to torment Ryu Hyun-jin. Ryu Hyun-jin, who was doubled by Lee Sung-kyu, grounded out Park Byung-ho, but Lee Jae-hyun's timely hit gave him the seventh run. He finished the inning by striking out Ahn Ju-hyung, but the score had already been allowed to turn around 6-7.

Ryu Hyun-jin, who threw a total of 100 pitches, was replaced by Park Sang-won in the bottom of the sixth inning.
