Ariel Furado (29, Samsung Lions), the league's best quality start machine, cried again due to the poor batting lineup's scoring support.토토사이트

Furado started the showdown with the Lotte Giants during the regular season of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Tuesday, and pitched six innings of quality pitching by allowing five hits (two homers), two strikeouts, five strikeouts and three runs. However, he failed to win again this time.

After blocking the top of the first inning with just one hit, Hurado allowed Lotte's leadoff hitter Na Seung-yeop to throw a solo shot over the center fence in the second inning. Afterwards, Son was cleared with an infield grounder after three pitches, but was shaken up sharply by giving up a heavy hit after a game of eight pitches with Yoon Dong-hee and a two-run shot to left-center in the game of nine pitches with Yoo Kang-nam.

After consecutive hits by follow-up hitters Hwang Sung-bin and Ko Seung-min, Hurado barely finished the inning by turning Jeon Joon-woo into a ground ball to shortstop, but the number of pitches had already increased to 50.

Furado regained his original form from the third inning. Except for giving up a walk to Son after two outs, Furado did not allow a single batter to get on base until the sixth inning. Furado, who had already reached 50 pitches in the second inning, pitched salty water by organizing the remaining four innings with 54 pitches.

Thanks to Furado's good pitching, Samsung's batters also launched counterattacks. Following Kim Ji-chan's RBI sacrifice hit in the bottom of the third inning against Lotte starter Na Kyun-an, Kim Young-woong's timely hit in the sixth inning and Lee Jae-hyun's walk, successfully balanced the game.

The extra point came from Lotte. In the top of the eighth inning, leadoff hitter Jeon Joon-woo's straight walk and pinch runner Jang Doo-sung reached second base on Victor Reyes' liner and homered on Na Seung-yeop's right-handed hit.

On the other hand, Samsung's batters made the first and second base scoring rights with Lewin Diaz's hit and Lee Chang-yong's walk against Kim Won-joong after two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, the last offensive inning, but failed to chase a point as Kim Hun-gon, who was driven by an unfavorable ball count, struck out swinging.

With this start, Hurado has achieved quality starts in six consecutive games since the opening. However, he has yet to add a single starting pitcher since becoming the winning pitcher in the opening game against the Kiwoom Heroes on April 22.

Rather, the team has lost games against the Doosan Bears (two runs in eight innings), the Kia Tigers (three runs in six innings) on March 3, and the LG Twins (one run in seven innings) on March 15, recording one win and three losses in this season. When Furado took the mound, Samsung's batters provided a total of 17 points. Excluding 13 points against Kiwoom in the opening game, the team only had four points in the remaining five games. It is 0.8 points per game.

While he might have been offended by his support for the lineup, Furado was more like a big player who was able to control the mood of the team. "We are a team that always competes. We all want to win many times, but that's impossible," he said on social media after the match. "The season has just begun and you will see that everything is going to be fine. Players are always fighting to win."
