Lotte came from behind to win 5-2 against KIA at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 25th. He succeeded in turning the tables with five consecutive hits in the top of the third inning when he was trailing 0-1, and added one more run with a bases-loaded walk to complete a five-run big inning. Right-hander Park Jin, who is in his sixth year as a professional pitcher, took the mound on the day and gave up four hits, no four outs, seven strikeouts, and one run in six innings, making his first quality start (more than six innings, less than three earned runs) and his first career start. KIA, which has excluded a large number of key players, succeeded in exceeding 170 innings and 2,500 innings for 10 consecutive years, but became a losing pitcher. Lotte had 64 wins, 4 draws and 72 losses, while KIA had 85 wins, 2 draws and 54 losses.
