Hanwha was shaken when Ryu Hyun-jin allowed his second grand slam of the KBO League regular season. On top of that, he came down the mound with four runs in three innings due to signs of elbow stiffness. Park Sang-won (2 ⅔ scoreless innings), Kim Seo-hyun (1 ⅓ scoreless), Han Seung-hyuk (1 inning scoreless) and Joo Hyun-sang (1 inning scoreless inning) took the mound one after another to protect the victory.
