"Reyes! Reyes!"

The crowd filled the Lionesses Park in Daegu. It was a natural compliment.

It was Denny Reyes who saved the Samsung Lions, who were on the brink of losing two games in a row. It laid the foundation for the team's rebound with a quality start plus (more than seven innings, less than three earned runs) with one run in seven innings.

It's Reyes, who dominated the playoffs. In Game 1 of the playoffs against the LG Twins, he became the winning pitcher by taking charge of 6 ⅔ with 101 pitches, and in Game 4, he threw as many as 110 pitches and pitched 7 scoreless innings. Samsung, who returned to Daegu after losing two games in Gwangju, had no choice but to walk everything on his shoulder once again.

Diaz got off to a fresh start while hitting three batters in the top of the first inning. After one out in the second inning, he allowed consecutive hits to Na Sung-bum and Kim Sun-bin, and fell into the first crisis. However, he came down the mound without losing a point by inducing a ground ball to the first base in Seo Geon-chang and finishing with a double play. In the third inning, he continued his good trend by decorating it with a three-way error. Reyes' shoulders also became lighter as Samsung scored the first point with Lee Sung-kyu's solo shot in the bottom of the third inning.

Reyes, who blocked the fourth inning with a full throw, gave up a right-handed hit to the leadoff hitter Na Sung-bum in the top of the fifth inning. He played a full count match with Seo Geon-chang on second base with one out that led to Kim Sun-bin's sacrifice bunt, but gave up a walk and piled up runners. However, Reyes struck out Kim Tae-gun, and Choi Won-jun's ball was caught diving by left fielder Kim Heon-gon, who overcame the crisis of losing a point. The gap widened in the bottom of the fifth inning when Kim Young-woong's superior solo shot came out.

Reyes gave up a left-handed hit to leadoff hitter Park Chan-ho in the top of the sixth inning. While striking out Socrates with third baseman Paul Fly and Kim Do-young, he lost his first point after being hit by a timely hit to the right by Choi Hyung-woo with two outs and second base that led to Park Chan-ho's stolen base. However, he filled the last out count by catching Na Sung-beom, who gave up hits in both of the previous at-bats.

Samsung's bench chose to put Reyes back on the mound in the top of the seventh inning. The number of pitches he pitched was 95. Looking back at the bullpen, which was exhausted in the first and second games, he had no choice but to rely on Reyes' strong pitching. Reyes roared after dealing with Kim Sun-bin's foul fly to third baseman, followed by Seo Geon-chang's fly ball to left field and striking out Kim Tae-gun. A total of 107 pitches. The audience erupted with a standing ovation and chants of "Reyes!"

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Samsung widened the gap with Kim Hun-gon and Park Byung-ho's back-to-back shot. It was a rebound signal made by Reyes.
