However, the bullpen minimized the runs with a sense of stability. Pil Seung-jo and Lee Hyung-beom pitched impressively with 1 hit and 3 strikeouts in 1⅔ innings. Rookie left-hander Kim Ho-jun (⅓ innings, 1 strikeout), right-hander Choi Ji-gang (1 hit, no run), and left-hander Baek Seung-woo (1 inning, no hit, no run) were recognized for their impressive pitching potential.
