Yoon continued his strong performance against Doosan.

Prior to this game, Yoon was 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA in two games against Doosan. “Both times I pitched against Doosan this year, I was fine. I tried to utilize a lot of good memories and play as fast as possible. I had some difficulties in the first inning, but I think it worked out because I got better in the second half.”

“As a starter, I wanted to pitch until the sixth inning. I didn’t want to go long from the beginning, but I tried to get one batter and one inning from the first inning to make sure. If the pitch count is low, I can pitch until the sixth inning, and if not, I think I pitched until the fifth inning to stop them as much as possible.”

Choi Jun-ho was the starting pitcher for Doosan. 온라인 슬롯 Choi Jun-ho is a second-year pitcher who was selected by Doosan in the first round (9th overall) of the 2023 rookie draft.

The batters scored a lot of runs in the first inning, so I was able to throw comfortably,” he said.

Doosan tried to steal a double with runners on first and second in the bottom of the fifth, but the runner was caught at second on a throw from catcher Han Jun-soo. It was a moment of relief for Yoon. “I thought I was going to steal third base. I was surprised when (Han) threw the ball over my head, and I was fortunate to catch it,” he said.

Yoon had other things to thank Han Jun-soo for.

“Today, I used a lot of cutters in the early innings because my fastball wasn’t working. It worked out well. Jun-soo helped me a lot, so I think I pitched well again today.”

With the win, Yoon picked up his fifth win of the season. “Coach Lee told me to win five games in the first half this year. I still have one more half to go, but the batters scored a lot of runs, so I accumulated wins faster than I thought. “It’s good to win on the day I pitch, and even if I’m not the winning pitcher, I’m satisfied if I can win the game.” 토토사이트 추천 “The first thing is to throw a lot of innings.
