Hanwha, which had been targeting eight consecutive wins recently, lost three points first on the day, but failed to continue its winning streak by allowing five points afterward. If Hanwha had won on the day, it would have achieved nine consecutive wins for the first time in 20 years since June 2005.
The loss also ended the winning streak of starting pitchers in "8." Ryu Hyun-jin, who started on the day, was replaced by Park Sang-won in the bottom of the seventh inning when his team was trailing 3-4, and eventually became a losing pitcher.
In recent years, starting pitchers have won all of their eight consecutive games, setting a new record of winning the most consecutive games by starting pitchers themselves. This is the fifth place in the entire KBO league. The overall KBO league record is 12 consecutive wins that the Samsung Lions achieved in 1986.
Hanwha had a chance to load the bases with no outs in the top of the second inning with Roh Si-hwan's hit and consecutive walks by Chae Eun-sung and Lee Jin-young. Lim Jong-chan struck out and Choi Jae-hoon was caught with an infield fly ball, but Shim Woo-joon's infield hit and An Chi-hong's two-run timely hit took the lead in three runs.
However, Lotte chased with Yoon Dong-hee's solo home run in the fourth inning, and in the sixth inning, Ko Seung-min's sacrifice bunt following consecutive hits by Hwang Sung-bin and Yoon Dong-hee made it with one out, second and third bases.
Victor Reyes went out with an automatic intentional pitch, and with the bases loaded with one out, Lotte succeeded in turning the tables 4-3 with Na Seung-yeop's two-run timely hit and Jeon Joon-woo's infield grounder.
Lotte made it 5-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning with a double by the leadoff batter Reyes and two sacrifice flies in the outfield.
Lotte starter Park Se-woong allowed three runs with four hits and five outs in six innings, but struck out nine to achieve his fifth win of the season, becoming the sole leader in multiple wins.
In addition, Lotte closer Kim Won-joong came out from the eighth inning and grabbed four out-counts and recorded eight saves for the season, becoming the sole No. 1 player in this category.
Ryu Hyun-jin had seven hits and struck out seven in six innings, allowing four runs and losing his first game of the season (2-1).
