Charlie Barnes (28), who operated the ‘left-handed lion’ mode, is being reborn as Lotte’s winning card in May.
Barnes took the mound as a starter in the first match against Hanwha at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park on the 16th and laid the foundation for his team’s 3-1 victory with 7 innings, 1 run and 8 strikeouts.
Barnes had a sluggish time in the opening month. He started the season uneasily with 4 runs in 4.1 innings against LG on the 11th of last month, which was his first start. In the next game against Samsung on the 16th, he recorded his first loss of the season with 8 runs in 5.2 innings.
In the third starting game against NC on the 22nd, he got his first victory with 3 runs (2 earned) in 5 innings. In his fourth starting game, against Kiwoom on the 28th, he came down the mound early with 4 innings and 2 runs without filling 5 innings.
Lotte, which is competing for the lead in the league with SSG and LG, desperately needed a rebound from foreign pitcher Barnes. Barnes announced the beginning of a rebound by earning his second win (one loss) of the season with 6.2 scoreless innings and 8 strikeouts against Doosan on the 10th.카지노사이트
Even in the game that day, Barnes pitched almost perfectly, giving up only two hits while striking out eight through the seventh inning. He overpowered the Hanwha batters by properly throwing a fastball with a speed of 148km per hour and a slider in the mid-130km range until he was hit with a double by lead batter Oh Seon-jin in the 8th inning and was replaced.
Barnes, who was replaced by Seung-min Koo after sending out the runner in charge, was unable to become the winning pitcher, however, due to the variable that Seung-min Koo, who hit the ball at the tip of Park Jung-hyun’s helmet, was ejected immediately, and Won-joong Kim hit Eun-won Jung with one RBI and tied the game.
Lotte, who gave Hanwha a tie in the 8th inning, won three consecutive victories by defeating Hanwha thanks to shortstop Noh Jin-hyeok’s two-run gun in the top of the 10th inning. Lotte manager Sutton praised Barnes, saying, “Barnes really did a good job at the beginning of the week and played his role as a starting pitcher.”
