KIA, who was killed by mistakes, seven consecutive victories… Lotte is the first six consecutive wins in the season
‘Defending Champion’ Kia (KIA) Tigers fell into seven consecutive defeats after being defeated by a successive defense.
Kia lost 6-9 in the 2025 KBO League Doosan Bears in Gwangju Champions Field on the 29th. He has been winning seven consecutive games since the LG Twins on the 22nd. In the second half of the year, the win rate was 0.125 (1 win and 7 losses), the last with Kiwoom Heroes, and the July win rate was 0.294 (5 wins and 12 losses). The season’s win rate was also broken down.
Kia has been helpless from the beginning of the game, making a ridiculous defense mistake. Two and three times of Patrick Wizham’s two mistakes led to runs, and they were virtually killed.
Doosan Park Joon -soon pulled the second curve of hunger Kim Do -hyun in the first and second bases in the first and second bases. At this time, however, the third baseman Wizham threw the ball to the home and fell back, and the runners were more likely to be second and third. Kim Jae-hwan’s sacrifice was followed by a third-base runner, and Doosan led 2-0.
Wisdom dedicated one point with a unfortunate defense in three times. The ball was thrown into the groove to catch the third base runner Jeong Soo -bin in the run down, and gave me a score that I would not give. Kia Lee Bum -ho, who had to lose his losing streak, immediately took a knife and replaced Wisdom with Byun Woo -hyuk. It was a reproof replacement. Kia has been using Wisdom as a third base since the injury to third baseman Kim Do -young.
Kia was in a late pursuit of Ko Jong -wook, Na Sung -bum, and Kim Tae -gun in the second half of the game, but it was not enough to overturn the already tilted game.
The three -to -three trade with NC (NC) Dinos did not see the light. Kim Si -hoon, a relief pitcher who played the first game after being traded with Kia, made seven times in seven times, leaving two runs in one inning and two hits (one home run). Doosan Kim Jae -hwan, who pulled two home runs (Season 11) from Kim Si -hoon, became the main character of the most home run (274) in the club’s history. The previous record is 273 home runs of Kim Dong -ju, who retired in 2013.
Lotte Giants won the first six consecutive wins in the season by winning 6-4 in the home game with NC in Busan Sajik Stadium. Hanwha Eagles lost to Samsung Lions 2-9 on the day, reducing the lead and gap in four games.
Lotte Son Ho -young led the team’s winning streak, with three hits and two hits (one home run), one walk, and two RBIs. Lotte starter Park Se -woong also won 11 wins (6 losses) in six innings and one hit and seven strikeouts. On the other hand, NC lost two points by the third baseman Kim Hwi-house, who could not handle Jeon Joon-woo’s ground ball in the seventh and second bases that were dragged to 3-4, and played in vain.
