Samsung lost 2:5 at a match against KIA in Gwangju on Saturday. Due to its eight consecutive losses since the match against LG in Jamsil last month, the team tied for ninth with Lotte with two wins, eight losses and one draw. The team has not used its power even once.  스포츠토토

No starting pitcher made a quality start after the game against KT in Suwon on April 24. Foreigners' one-two punch Connor Seabold and Danny Reyes displayed stellar performance in the opening two consecutive games, but suffered a flurry of hitting in the following two consecutive games. The rest of the starting pitchers are also disappointed. 

The team's batting average is also serious. As of Thursday, his batting average is 218 percent, the lowest among the 10 teams. During the eight-game losing streak, he posted a team batting average of 18 percent and a total of 25 points. On March 30, he garnered six points against the SSG, the most in a single game among eight consecutive losses. 

Except for foreign hitter David McKinnon (batting .324 (11 hits in 34 times at bat), there are no batters that can threaten the opposing pitcher. 

The main hitters, such as Koo Ja-wook (10 hits in 39 times at bat), Kang Min-ho (6 hits in 34 times at bat), Oh Jae-il (6 hits in 36 times at bat), are unable to cheer up. 

Moreover, while McKinnon was away on maternity leave, the batters' weight declined. He only scored six points in total in the last three games. Ahead of the game on Thursday, coach Park Jin-man said, "Veteran hitters need to cheer up when they are in trouble," but only scored two points. 

Samsung's batters continued their 0 streak until the sixth inning, as they were blocked by KIA starter Will Crow. He had a chance to hit the second base with two outs in the second inning and the second base with two outs in the fifth inning, but his shot did not explode. He belatedly started to chase after the batter. In the seventh inning, he scored his first run thanks to Kim Ho-jin's infield grounder, with one out and runners on the second and third bases with one out, made by Kim Jae-seong's hit to the right and Kim Young-woong's double to the left-center field. 

Koo Ja-wook, the leadoff hitter in the eighth inning, went to bed with a double. While Gong Min-gyu stepped back with a fly ball to right field, Koo Ja-wook settled down to third base. Kang Min-ho was out on a grounder to shortstop, but third baseman Koo Ja-wook homered. 

After Lee Seung-min on Wednesday, Samsung will pitch Lee Ho-seong as its starting pitcher on Tuesday. Yoon Young-chul and Yang Hyun-jong will pitch for KIA on Tuesday. From a cold point of view, it cannot be seen as an advantage in the starting matchup. Batters should beef up their energy to ease the burden on the low-youngest pitcher who is considered a heavy starting pitcher amid the slump in consecutive losses.
