A catastrophic start for the Hanwha Eagles in their home game against the Samsung Lions saw starting pitcher Wilker Hernández collapse spectacularly in the first inning. The Eagles' hopes were dashed early as Hernández struggled immensely, failing to contain the Lions' offense.

In a performance that will undoubtedly be scrutinized, Hernández was pulled after recording just a single out. His stat line for the brief appearance was grim: seven hits allowed, two walks, and a staggering seven earned runs. This early implosion put the Eagles in a deep hole, forcing an immediate pitching change.
