Let's be more detail-oriented when things are going well.
Kim Tae-hyung, the manager of Lotte Giants, drew attention by calling for a team meeting immediately after achieving a satisfying 4-0 victory.
Lotte won the game against the 2025 Kia Tigers at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 14th with a score of 4-0.
The team was backed by a strong pitching staff. Han Hyun-hee, who made his season's first start, delivered a stellar performance, allowing no runs with 4 hits until one out in the fifth inning to set up the victory. Following him, Jeong Hyeon-soo, Song Jae-young, Park Jin, Jeong Cheol-won, and closer Kim Won-jung also did not allow any runs.
In the batting lineup, Na Seung-yeob opened the scoring with an RBI single to left field from first and second bases with no outs in the fourth inning, and then Son Ho-young hit a sacrifice fly to right field during the subsequent bases loaded situation. Son Ho-young hit a lead-off solo homer in the eighth inning to add a valuable insurance run.
It did not stop there. After one out, Jang Du-sung successfully stole second base after getting a hit, and Ko Seung-min responded with an RBI hit to seize the momentum.
After the game, Manager Kim Tae-hyung called for a full team meeting. The scheduled post-game player interview was conducted later than anticipated.
The publicity team noted, "We are doing well and have a good atmosphere, but he asked us to focus more on the details. It was not a situation to be angry, and the mood was supportive."
On that day, Lotte recorded 11 hits and 5 walks but only managed to score 4 runs. Although they achieved a shutout victory with their pitching staff, they could not secure a definite lead until the end of the game due to a lack of timely hits.
After the game, Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, "Han Hyun-hee, who made his first start this season, pitched well for over 4 innings without allowing any runs. The bullpen that followed also did their part, allowing us to maintain the victory. In a tight situation where we needed additional runs, Son Ho-young hitting a home run helped us seize the momentum."
