Since Yang Hyun-jong (20 wins) of the KIA Tigers in 2017, he has become the king of the most wins in seven years. If it is narrowed down to Samsung, it will be the first time in 11 years since Bae Young-soo (14 wins) in 2013. It is the first time in nine years that Samsung has achieved 15 wins as a native pitcher since Yoon Sung-hwan (17 wins) in 2015.
Above all, it is the second-place regular season game in three years since 2021. 'Magic Number 1' A game that can determine Samsung's second place in the regular season by itself.
LG's one loss the day before reduced the magic number to one. In the past, it is best to decide on your own at home.
Ahead of the match against Suwon KT on the 19th, Samsung manager Park Jin-man also said "I want to get rid of the magic number and decide the ranking as soon as possible."It's better to manage injured players, give them a bullpen physical arrangement, and go in the direction of preparing for a big game."
Even before the game on this day "If it's the case, I'd like to confirm it at home today and go on an away trip to Gwangju with ease."," he confessed to the broadcasting team.
On the day Won Tae-in played, Gyeonggi Province could not be guaranteed to win. This is because Furado, the No. 1 player in the quality start league (23QS), was the opponent's starter.

There was also a small accident in the process.
Kang Min-ho, who welcomed Koo Ja-wook next to Park in the third inning, was hit in the face by a home run doll held in Koo Ja-wook's left hand. It wasn't a strong shock, but Kang Min-ho drew laughter when he was caught on the broadcast screen pointing his fist around his lips and making a gesture of 'I got hit here' after the home run ceremony. The captain held the 21-year senior, who congratulated him once again with a cute protest, in his arms, feeling grateful and sorry.
Was it to prevent another collision. When Koo Ja-wook's consecutive home run hit in the sixth inning, Kang Min-ho quickly took refuge in a distance from coach Park Jin-man.
