7/31 - Heroes 3, LG 2
8/1 - Heroes 7, LG 6
8/2 - Heroes 3, LG 2 (10)
The Heroes won the "Who Cares" Series of the weekend. The Heroes have a shot at 5th place. Thinking playoffs is too ambitious for both of these teams. Heroes reliever Lee Bo-geun is starting to emerge as a legit relief ace. Lee saved 2 of the 3 games this weekend.
The Heroes jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and were able to hang on for a W on Friday. With the early cushion, Heroes starter Ma Il-yeong was able to cruise. Ma tossed 6 2/3 innings of 2-run baseball. Ma allowed only 7 hits and struck out 1. Ma has morphed into the Heroes version of Son Min-han. Ma's only mistake was allowing LG catcher Cho In-seong to hit a 2-run homer in the 5th inning. Twins starter Shim Su-chang was the tough luck loser. Shim tossed 7 2/3 innings of 3-run ball. He gave up only 5 hits, 3 walks and 1 hit batsman while striking out 3.
LG jumped out to a 6-2 lead in the 3rd inning, but the Heroes were able to take the lead thanks to a 4-run rally in the 8th inning. Heroes right fielder Song Ji-man and shortstop Kang Jeong-ho hit back-to-back homers during the big comeback. Twins starting pitcher Jeremy Johnson made his KBO debut on Saturday and was saddled with an ND. Johnson tossed 6 1/3 innings of 3-run baseball. He allowed 7 hits, 4 walks and 1 hit batsman while striking out 6. He looked competent. I don't think he's going to turn into a Rick Guttormson, but I think he'll do better than Mike Johnson did.
Heroes starting pitcher Lee Hyeon-seung turned in a great effort, but was saddled with an ND thanks to a lack of run support. Lee threw 9 innings of 2-run ball. He gave up 3 hits, 2 walks and 1 hit batsman while striking out 11(!). Heroes reliever Bae Him-chan threw a 1-2-3 10th inning and vultured the W. Heroes center fielder Lee Taek-geun hit a walk off double in the bottom of the 10th.
