The Lotte Giants escaped a three-game losing streak.

The Lotte Giants, led by manager Kim Tae-hyung, achieved a solid 6-0 victory against the SSG Landers during the game held on the 6th at Busan Sajik Stadium. With this win, Lotte marked a season record of 21 wins, 16 losses, and 1 tie, maintaining their 3rd place position.

Starting pitcher Park Se-woong made a significant impact. Park Se-woong pitched 7 innings, throwing 96 pitches, allowing 2 hits, 2 walks, and 1 hit batter, striking out 7 without allowing a run, laying the groundwork for the team's victory.

With a maximum speed of 149 km/h, an average of 147 km/h, he threw 43 four-seam fastballs, 31 sliders, 16 forkballs, and 6 curves, effectively managing the SSG batting lineup. He continued his streak of 7 consecutive wins as a starter, ranking joint first in wins.

In the lineup, lead-off hitter Yoon Dong-hee completed a 3-on-base game with 2 hits (1 home run), 1 RBI, 2 runs, and 1 walk, including a lead-off home run in the 1st inning. He earned an RBI hit in the 3rd inning with one out and, after reaching base on a walk in the 5th inning, crossed home plate during RAY's two-run homer.

Moreover, with timely hits from Jeong Hoon and RAY's two-run homer, Lotte was able to navigate the game easily.

After the game, manager Kim Tae-hyung noted, "Starting pitcher Park Se-woong gave us excellent pitching with 7 innings and no runs. The bullpen that followed also held strong without allowing any runs."

He added, "Yoon Dong-hee did a great job with his batting, including a home run in the 1st inning, and the players added crucial runs at necessary moments, allowing us to secure the victory."

On that day, Sajik Stadium had a sellout crowd for the 6th consecutive game since the match against Hanwha on April 24. The stands were filled with clouds before the game, and heavy rain fell during the match, but the 22,669 spectators remained in their seats, cheering for Lotte.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung also expressed gratitude, saying, "I appreciate the fans for their support, even on a rainy day, and I bow my head in thanks."

With 1 win and 1 loss, Lotte and SSG are set to clash again on the 7th for the winning series. Lotte will pitch Tucker Davidson, while SSG will start Song Young-jin.
