Context piece
- Samsung starter Won Tae-in allowed two runs over six innings against Lotte, striking out seven without issuing a walk.
- The performance did not produce a decision after Lotte’s Han Dong-hee hit a late two-run homer.
- Won had been seeking his eighth consecutive win and his fourth straight victory over Lotte.
Won Tae-in’s bid for an eighth consecutive win disappeared in the final moments when Lotte Giants slugger Han Dong-hee launched a two-run homer.
Won started Samsung’s game against Lotte at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the third. He threw 95 pitches over six innings, allowing seven hits and two runs while striking out seven and issuing no walks. The outing earned him a no-decision.
Won had won his previous three games against Lotte since July 20, 2024. His latest performance again put him in position to extend that run, but Han’s late blast wiped out the advantage and left the pitcher without a victory.
