Hanwha Eagles have reached 60 wins of the season with Ryu Hyun-jin's 9 wins.

Hanwha won 3-1 in an away game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 6th with Ryu Hyun-jin's good pitching of 8K 1 run in 6 innings and perfect defense by the bullpen. With 60 wins, 2 draws and 64 losses, he maintained his sixth place and continued his dream of reaching the 5th round.

On the other hand, LG's score given by error following the previous day eventually became the score of a painful defeat, and it lost two consecutive games and lost 60, making the second place increasingly far away. Despite seven hits and two runs (one earned) in seven innings, Son Joo-young became a losing pitcher.

LG made an unconventional lineup on the day. The starting lineup was composed of Hong Chang-ki (designated hitter), Lee Young-bin (right wing), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (captor), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Choi Won-young (middle fielder), and Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman). As Hong Chang-ki was designated as a designated hitter due to his poor hamstring, Lee Young-bin entered right field, and Choi Won-young was put in center field instead of Park Hae-min, who was not hit well recently, the first outfield line to be introduced at LG, consisting of Kim Hyun-soo, Choi Won-young and Lee Young-bin.

Hanwha consisted of Hwang Young-mook (2nd baseman), Peraza (2nd baseman), An Chi-hong (designated hitter), Noh Si-hwan (3rd baseman), Chae Eun-sung (1st baseman), Jang Jin-hyuk (middle fielder), Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder), Lee Do-yoon (striker), and Choi Jae-hoon (catcher).

The match between Ryu Hyun-jin of the Hanwha Eagles and Son Joo-young of the LG Twins, who have eight wins each. An interesting pitching competition unfolded.
