Ryu Hyun-jin of the Hanwha Eagles started against the Lotte Giants but allowed five runs in three innings, failing to achieve his 10th win. In the top of the third inning, he gave up a right-field single to Hwang Seong-bin, a two-run home run to Na Seung-yeop, and a solo home run to Han Dong-hee, resulting in a sudden surge of runs. Ryu Hyun-jin left the mound after only 49 pitches and has struggled to secure wins, recording just one victory in his last ten appearances since the start of the second half. This defeat puts Hanwha on the brink of an eight-game losing streak.
