The Lotte Giants, led by manager Kim Tae-hyung, achieved a complete victory over SSG Landers in a game held at Busan's Sajik Stadium on the 7th, winning 6-2.

Thus, Lotte recorded a two-game winning streak after a three-game losing streak. Winning series against SSG over three games. Additionally, they marked 6 wins and 3 losses during the nine-game stretch, achieving a record of 22 wins, 16 losses, and 1 tie while maintaining third place.

Lotte's starting pitcher, Tucker Davidson, delivered an impressive performance, pitching 7⅔ innings while allowing 5 hits, 1 walk, and recording 9 strikeouts with just 1 run allowed. Davidson achieved his personal fifth consecutive win, dominating SSG batters by throwing 34 fastballs with a top speed of 150 km/h and an average speed of 146 km/h, 39 hard sliders with a top speed of 143 km/h and an average speed of 137 km/h, along with 21 forkballs, 3 curves, and 3 sweepers.

The lineup seized the momentum with a five-run big inning in the 3rd. After 1 out in the 5th, Yoon Dong-hee and Ko Seung-min created a chance of 1 out with runners on 1st and 2nd with consecutive hits, and RAY hit a three-run homer to take the lead. Following this, with a hit from Na Seung-yeop and a walk from Jeon Jun-woo creating another 1 out with runners on 1st and 2nd, Son Ho-young added a timely hit to left field and Lee Ho-jun delivered a timely double to the left side, establishing a 5-0 lead and scoring additional points in the 7th.

After the game, manager Kim Tae-hyung noted, "Starting pitcher Davidson laid the groundwork for victory by striking out 9 batters while allowing only 1 run over more than 7 innings," adding, "We were able to win thanks to the performance of RAY, who contributed 2 hits including the decisive three-run homer."

Additionally, Sajik Stadium hosted a full crowd of 22,699 spectators once again. This marked a sellout for all home games in the six-game stretch. Manager Kim expressed gratitude, saying, "I also thank the fans who supported us with a full crowd on a weekday."

After completing the nine-game stretch, Lotte will take a day of rest before moving to Suwon to face the KT Wiz from the 9th to the 11th.
