Ace Ko Young-pyo, who had collapsed by allowing 6 runs in 5 innings and 6 runs in 6 innings in his previous two appearances in September, lived up to his name for the first time in a long time.

He threw 111 pitches over 6 innings and consistently sent out runners with 9 hits and 1 walk, but struck out 7 and scored 2 runs, earning his 11th win (7 losses) of the season.

He also reached the 100-strikeout mark in the season, becoming the 19th player in KBO League history to achieve triple-digit strikeout records for five consecutive seasons.

In Gwangju, the Lotte Giants won a rain-cold game against the KIA Tigers in the 6th inning, keeping their glimmer of hope of advancing to the postseason alive.

Lotte's starter Shim Jae-min pitched well in 5 innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 1 run, and saved the 3 runs he earned through concentrated hitting in the 3rd inning to win 3-1 over KIA and avoid their 3rd consecutive loss.

The gap between 7th place Lotte and 5th place KIA, which is one step down, is 7 games.

The match between both teams started at 7:10 PM, 40 minutes late due to rain, and rain continued throughout.

Despite the inclement weather, Lotte was the one who broke the balance between the two teams, who continued their pitching battle early in the game.

Lotte loaded the bases with no outs in the third inning thanks to Han Dong-hee's walk, Lee Hak-ju's left-field hit, and Hwang Seong-bin's bunt infield hit.

KIA third baseman Choi Jeong-yong, who caught a quick infield ground ball hit by No. 1 hitter Yoon Dong-hee, first stepped on third base, got one out count, and tried to throw the ball home, but ended up spilling the ball.

Although it wasn't recorded as an error because the out was caught, it was a fatal mistake that set the tone for Lotte.

KIA starter Yang Hyeon-jong struck out Jeong Hoon in the ensuing crisis with one out and runners on first and second base, but allowed Ahn Chi-hong to hit a two-run double.

KIA, which was blocked by Shim Jae-min's aggressive pitching, was only able to make up for one point thanks to Lee Woo-sung's timely hit in the 5th inning with 2 outs and runners on second base.

Before KIA's attack began in the bottom of the 6th inning, the rain became heavier, and after waiting 46 minutes from 9:10 PM to 9:56 PM, Lotte ended the game early.

This is the third rain cold game this season.

Shim Jae-min won as a starter for the first time in 316 games since his professional debut in 2015.

Shim Jae-min, who went 5 innings alone, earned his 4th complete game win in the league this season.

KIA, who featured Yang Hyun-jong but lost, gave up 4th place to SSG Landers, who did not have a game that day, and fell back to 5th place, half a game behind.

The game between SSG and Doosan Bears, scheduled to be held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, was canceled due to rain.

The game canceled today will be rescheduled for a later date.
