“The ball was so good until the 4th inning that I thought I couldn’t do it today.”
Doosan Bears Raul Alcantara became the losing pitcher in a month. On the 27th, Alcantara suffered a defeat against SSG Landers in Jamsil, collapsed with 10 hits (1 home run), 2 strikeouts and 7 runs in 5⅓ innings.
He was perfect until the 4th inning. The SSG lineup was completely blocked with no runs, and the Doosan batters scored 3 runs and maintained a 3-0 lead. However, it was a problem from the 5th episode. In the top of the 5th inning, lead batter Guillermo Heredia allowed a left-handed hit, and then hit a two-run home run by Choi Joo-hwan, the next hitter. He hit a 150km fastball thrown for the second pitch in 1b, and the hit ball that was pulled became a two-run home run that went over the right fence.
After that, Alcantara’s streak continued. After two outs, Kim Min-sik allowed another run with an infield hit, and the score was tied at 3-3.

In the 5th inning, I suddenly couldn’t control my pitch, and after Choi Joo-hwan hit a home run, it was very shaky. It’s a lot,” he said regretfully.스포츠토토
