LG Twins Casey Kelly once again led the team to victory with a good pitching of 7 innings. Coincidentally, the batter who gave Kelly the only run was ‘old colleague’ Chae Eun-seong.
LG won 3-1 in the home game against Hanwha in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 19th and achieved 3 consecutive wins. Kelly, who took the mound as a starting pitcher that day, pitched well with 4 walks, 6 hits (1 home run), 4 strikeouts and 1 run in 7 innings. 4th win of the season with 3 wins in a row.
Kelly said, “Today, I came out with a well-prepared strategy with Park Dong-won, and I thought I would pitch aggressively from the beginning. I was able to throw it without any burden while showing my strength,” he looked back on the game that day.
The only loss was the 1st inning. The opponent was Chae Eun-seong. Chae Eun-seong hit a solo home run over the left wall by attacking Kelly’s 4-ball 131 km/h curve in the first inning without two runners. Chae Eun-seong, who had helped Kelly from behind until last year, now became an enemy and stabbed Kelly.카지노사이트
Kelly said, “I felt strange when I faced Chae Eun-seong. I felt strange because I had spent time on the same team for a long time and was loved by fans.” However, Kelly struck out Chae Eun-seong in the next two at-bats. Kelly laughed, “He didn’t want to hit a home run, but I think he finished well with a tie as he struck out twice.”
Kelly, who had an uneasy start to the season, recorded a quality start plus in all three games in May and found the true ace-like appearance. Kelly responded to the fans’ enthusiastic support by saying, “Today I pitched satisfactorily in front of the home fans, so I feel good. I think it’s because they cheered me on with good energy. I hope they continue to support me.”
