Hurado started against the KIA Tigers at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 15th and pitched a quality start (6 innings or more, 3 earned runs or less) with 6 hits, 4 walks, 5 strikeouts and 1 run in 6 innings. After receiving a strong scoring support of 5 points at the end of the 1st inning, Rado conceded a run with 3 consecutive hits in the top of the 3rd inning, but kept the lead while throwing efficiently in the remaining innings, and passed the mound while achieving the victory pitcher requirement. As the bullpen finished the game without allowing any additional runs, Hurado finished the game as the winning pitcher. He was able to shake off the regrets left over from losing in the previous two games in a row. After the game, Hurado did not hide his bright smile as he received an ice bucket from his teammates congratulating him on his first win after a TV interview. Kiwoom coach Hong Won-ki congratulated Hurado on his first victory, saying, “He adjusted his pitching tempo and gave stable pitching. His chemistry with Kim Dong-heon was good, and he handled his duties well until the 6th inning.”
After the game, Hurado looked back, saying, “I’m glad it helped the team continue their winning streak. I discussed the pitching plan with Kim Dong-heon before the game, and I executed it, and the result was good. There were crises in every inning, but I think I overcame it well.” “Thank you for supporting me in the lineup and defense. The team has not been good lately, but I think it’s a process I always go through during the season,” he said. “I will do my best in my role to help the team win.”
