The professional baseball Kiwoom Heroes escaped three consecutive losses with Yasiel Puig's second grand slam in the KBO League and the good pitching of starting pitcher Ha Young-min, who showed his fighting spirit despite injuries.메이저사이트
Kiwoom won 5-1 at the home game against the NC Dinos of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Sunday. Having lost three games in a row recently, Kiwoom is now in the middle ranks with five wins and six losses.
On the other hand, NC, which played six days after a fan was killed in a stadium facility fall during a game at Changwon NC Park on the 29th of last month, lost three consecutive games and lost three games.
There were two of the biggest highlights of the game. One was the injury struggles of starter Ha Young-min, and the other was Puig's wedge grand slam.
Ha Young-min was hit near his right calf by NC Park Min-woo's straight hit in the third inning with one out and no runners. Ha Young-min, who was in pain after collapsing, went to a situation where he was briefly out on a stretcher, but surprisingly returned to the mound after receiving first aid.
Despite the injury, Ha Young-min allowed only three hits and three walks until the sixth inning, completely blocking the opponent's batters. With seven strikeouts, Ha Young-min earned his second win (one loss) of the season.
Kiwoom's first run came from the bottom of the second inning. After leadoff hitter Kim Gun-hee got on base with a heavy hit, Jeon Tae-hyun's sacrifice bunt advanced to second base, and No. 7 hitter Kang Jin-sung hit a timely hit to right field to bring Kim home.
Since then, a tight pitching battle has continued, and Kiwoom threw a clear game in the seventh inning. After one out, Kang Jin-sung, the seventh batter, and Kim Tae-jin, the eighth batter, walked consecutively, and even Oh Sun-jin, the ninth batter, hit a hit in front of the left field to create a full base opportunity.
NC put out starter Logan Allen and Kim Jin-ho on the mound to put out the fire. Puig, however, pushed Kim Jin-ho's high, 145 km/h fastball with a soft swing to lead him to a grand slam over the fence in the right-center field.
Feeling a home run at the moment of hitting, Puig enjoyed the ball for a while and then turned around the base leisurely. It was his second grand slam in 1,088 days since the game against Gocheok NC on April 12, 2022, Puig's first KBO League season.
NC only recovered one run with three consecutive hits after two outs in the ninth inning.
Puig hit a double in his first at-bat in the first inning of the day, followed by a grand slam in the seventh inning with two hits and four RBIs in four at-bats, becoming the main player of the team's victory.
