“Rojas was flying at the plate”
The Doosan Bears swept a three-game series against the 온라인카지노 Kiwoom Heroes of the Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League 2023 with an 8-6 win on Thursday at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
The Doosan bats pounded out nine hits and two home runs. Jose Rojas led the way, going 2-for-2 with his 14th home run of the season, a double, a home run, four RBI, three runs scored and one walk. He narrowly missed a cycling hit due to a lack of doubles. Kim Jae-ho hit his second home run of the season. Yang Ji Woo, who returned to the starting lineup as a designated hitter, showed his health with a multi-hit game.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “Rojas was flying in the batting order. Even though we fell short of the record, it was a great game. Heo Kyung-min, Kim Jae-ho, and Yang Ji-ji also did their part at crucial moments like veterans,” he said, praising his batsmen.
Starting pitcher Kim Dong-joo struggled, giving up four runs on three hits and four walks with two strikeouts in 1⅔ innings. However, the bullpen of Choi Won-jun (1⅔ scoreless innings), Kim Kang-ryul (1 scoreless inning), Park Chi-guk (1 scoreless inning), Kim Myung-shin (1 scoreless inning), Lee Young-ha (1 run in ⅔ innings), and Jeong Chul-won (1 run in 1⅓ innings) battled back to win the game. Closer Jung Chul-won earned his fifth save of the season.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “The starting pitchers left the mound early, but the bullpen worked together to keep the runs to a minimum for 7⅓ innings, laying the foundation for the comeback win. Everyone worked hard. I want to thank our fans for traveling to the away games and cheering us on all three days. We will do our best to continue the good trend when we return home.”
With a three-game winning streak, Doosan returns home to Jamsil Stadium for a three-game series against SSG. Doosan’s starting pitcher is Kwak Bin, while SSG’s starting pitcher is Kim Kwang-hyun.
