Hanwha won the home game against the Samsung Lions 3-1 in the KBO League held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on Sunday, and had an eight-game winning streak (23 wins, 13 losses, a winning percentage of 0.639) for the second time this season. Hanwha, which tied for first place with LG, which lost to the Doosan Bears on the previous day (May 5), remained atop the ranking list for two consecutive days.
Ryu Hyun-jin, the starting pitcher of the Hanwha Eagles, allowed four hits, six strikeouts and one run in five innings on the day, winning the starting showdown with Won Tae-in (seven hits and three runs in six innings), who represents the right-handed pitcher of the KBO League. Ryu, who earned his fourth win (one loss) this season, has entered the two-point ERA (2.91). With the victory on the day, Ryu Hyun-jin reached the 190th victory mark in Korea (112 wins) and the U.S. Major League Baseball (78 wins).
Hanwha tied the game with Choi Jae-hoon's timely hit following Hwang Young-mook's double in the bottom of the fifth inning when the team was losing 0-1. Esteban Floral then led the way with a timely hit with two outs and a third base. In the bottom of the sixth inning, Noh Si-hwan's double and Chae Eun-seong's sacrifice bunt continued the chance, and Hwang Young-mook's infield grounder with one out and runners on the first and third bases.
After Ryu Hyun-jin went down the mound, the bullpen must-win group, which leads to Park Sang-won, Kim Bum-soo, Jung Woo-joo and Cho Dong-wook, blocked Samsung's batters without losing a point. Han Seung-hyuk, who finished in place of Kim Seo-hyun (11 saves), who received a break on the day, pitched one scoreless inning and recorded a save.

Hanwha, which ranked first (16 wins and 8 losses) in monthly winning percentage with Lotte last month, has continued its unbeaten streak since May. It is the first time in 18 years that Hanwha has ranked first in more than 30 games this season since May 31-June 2, 2007. Hanwha, which was in last place seven games behind LG as of April 9, showed a miracle of tying for the lead in less than a month. It has 19 wins and three losses in its last 22 games.
The Hanwha Eagles will challenge the Samsung Lions to win nine consecutive home games on Sunday. The last time the Eagles won nine consecutive games was June 4-14, 2005, 20 years ago.
On the same day, LG defeated Doosan Bears 5-1 in an away game at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. Having shown overwhelming performance in the early days of this season, LG allowed Hanwha to jointly lead the game on the previous day. However, LG continued its "battle between two sides" after winning the game.
LG Twins' starting pitcher Yoni Chirinos allowed four hits and one run during seven innings, and achieved five wins (one loss) this season. Chirinos, who had five strikeouts and no walks, lowered his earned run average (ERA) from 1.67 to 1.62 (second place).
In the LG lineup, foreign hitter Austin Dean, who had two hits and four RBIs in three times at bat, stood out. Austin, who hit a sacrifice fly from Doosan starter Choi Won-joon with one out and third base in the top of the first inning, hit a three-run home run (131.2 meters) in left-center with runners on first and second bases with no outs in the top of the sixth inning with a 2-1 lead.
Austin, who hit his 10th homer of this season, tied for second place in this category (with 12 Samsung Lions' Lewin Diaz) along with Noh Si-hwan of the Hanwha Eagles. Park Dong-won, who hit a solo home run in the top of the second inning when the score was 1-1 on the day, said, "I don't look at individual report cards, but I check team rankings every day. But I am really scared of Hanwha. It is really hard for us to keep our No. 1 ranking because Hanwha wins every day these days."
