“Davidson’s 3-hit, 2-homer performance shines”…bang!
The power of the NC Dinos bats stood out.
NC won 7-5 in the second game of a three-game midweek series against Doosan in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Stadium on April 19. With the win, the team improved its season record to 35 wins, 2 losses, and 35 ties. The team is back to a five-win season.
Matt Davidson was the centerpiece of the offense from the No. 4 spot. He went 3-for-4 with three doubles (two home runs), three RBI, two runs scored, and one walk to energize the team’s offense. Captain Son Asub reached 2504 career hits with the multi-hit game. He is one hit away from tying Park Yong-taek’s KBO record for most hits in a season.
On the mound, starting pitcher Daniel Castano was strong. He went six innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits (one home run) with four strikeouts and one walk to improve to 6-3 on the season. The right-hander has been on a roll, winning three straight games since his last start against the Daejeon Hanwha Eagles on July 7. Kim Jae-yeol (⅓ inning, 1 run/hit), Kim Young-kyu (1⅔ innings, 1 run/hit), and Lee Yong-chan (1 inning of scoreless relief/save) worked in relief. Young-gyu Kim gave up a home run, but he was able to pitch long innings to preserve the win.
“Davidson’s three-hit, two-homer performance was the highlight of the game,” said NC head coach Kang In-hwa after the game. Castano did his job for six innings, and Kim Young-kyu did a good job on the mound in a tough situation to get us the win. “Congratulations to Son As-seob for breaking the 2504-hit record,” he said of his teammates.
“I’d like to say ‘thank you’ to the fans for their great support in the sweltering weather today (Sept. 19), and I’m glad we were able to give them the gift of 스포츠토토 victory,” he added.
With the win, NC evened its record at 1-1 in a three-game midweek series. After losing the first game (2-6 on the 18th), they bounced back the next day (19th). NC and Doosan will battle for the winner’s series in the final game of the three-game midweek series on the 20th.
Looking to turn the tide, NC will send domestic ace Shin Min-hyuk (5-4 with a 4.06 ERA in 14 games and 71 innings pitched this year) to the mound. Shin has been in a bit of a slump in May-June, with three wins in seven games and two 카지노사이트 순위 quality starts (three earned runs or less in six innings). He’s been picking up the pace lately and is looking to rebound.
To counter, Doosan will start Raul Alcantara (1-2 with a 4.01 ERA in nine games and 51⅔ innings this year). Alcantara has yet to win a game this season, as he was sidelined with an elbow injury in the middle of the season. He has good memories of facing NC in the opening game of the year (March 23 against Changwon NC), where he tossed six scoreless innings.
The final game of the three-game midweek series between NC and Doosan will take place on March 20 at 18:30 at Jamsil Stadium.
