The Giants won the first game of their midweek series against the NC Dinos 2-0 at Sajik Stadium in Busan on Wednesday.

The Giants capitalized on several clear scoring opportunities. NC, on the other hand, squandered a golden opportunity in the top of the fifth inning with runners on second and third base.

The two starting pitchers, Na Kyun-an and Shin Min-hyuk, pitched well. Na Gyun-an gave up no runs on five hits until the end of the sixth inning, while Shin Min-hyuk gave up two runs on five hits until the fifth inning.

In the third and fifth innings, Na got out of two jams that helped the team win. In the third inning, Kim Joo-won and Son As-seob singled to put runners on first and second, but he struck out Park Young-bin to keep the game scoreless.

The top of the fifth inning was an absolute crisis. NC leadoff hitter Yoon Hyung-jun hit a huge double to left field, and the next batter, Seo Ho-chul, singled to put runners on first and third. Seo then stole second and third.

However, the next batter, Kim Joo-won, hit a grounder to third, and Han Dong-hee and Yoo Kang-nam combined to throw out the runner at third. In the process, Yoo Kang-nam rolled his right knee, but it didn’t lead to any serious injury. With runners on first and second, he struck out Do Tae-hoon and Son As-seop to get out of the jam.

Yoo Kang-nam wore a mask until the sixth inning as he and Na Kyun-ahn shared the mound. After the sixth inning, he was relieved by Shin Jung-geun. He rested in the dugout without going to the hospital.

Lotte also struggled against Shin Min-hyuk, but a two-run fourth inning proved to be the difference. After a leadoff walk, Jeon Jun-woo singled and Ahn Chi-hong followed with a double to put runners on first and third.
