The Samsung Lions took over the first winning series (based on three consecutive games) this season with foreign pitcher Denny Reyes (29), who returned from injury.

In an away game against the Doosan Bears of the "2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" held at Jamsil Stadium on Sunday, Samsung won the game 3-2 based on starting pitcher Reyes' three hits, one homer, no four outs, five strikeouts, and two runs in five innings. With this result, Samsung ended the three consecutive weekend games with Doosan with two wins and one loss and a winning series, earning its fifth win (three losses) of the season.메이저놀이터

During the second spring camp in Okinawa, Japan, Reyes felt severe pain in his right foot. He moved to Korea early as a result of a detailed examination found a fatigue fracture. He underwent a thorough examination again at a hospital in Korea, and fortunately, he was told that he could return after two weeks of treatment. After recovering from his injury by concentrating on rehabilitation, the Futures (minor league) team started preparing again for the season. "It would be best if Reyes throws about five innings. As much as I saved the bullpen for two days, I will mobilize all of the bullpen after Reyes," Samsung coach Park Jin-man said before the game.

Reyes came down the mound with his team leading 3-2, minimizing runs until the fifth inning. His maximum fastball speed (14 balls) was 147 kilometers per hour, which was not the best, but he blocked Doosan's batters by mixing various pitching types including slider (21), cut fastball (12), sinker, and changeup (10 balls). He did his part in line with the plan to throw around five innings with 60-65 balls.

Samsung's batters scored early and eased Reyes' shoulders. In the top of the first inning, Koo Ja-wook hit a first RBI left-handed hit with runners on the first and third bases with no outs. In the top of the third inning with a 1-0 lead, Lee Jae-hyun's two-run left-handed hit made it 3-0 with runners on the second and third bases with no outs. From the bottom of the sixth inning with a 3-2 lead, Bae Chan-seung, Lee Jae-hee, Lim Chang-min, and Kim Jae-yoon pitched one scoreless inning to win a thrilling one-run victory.

Reyes said after the game, "It's nice to be able to play like this, and I'm also satisfied that the team has produced a good atmosphere." "I remember taking the mound once in the U.S. even when it snowed, and I think it was in Portland in 2019," he said. "Thanks to my experience last year, I didn't have much difficulties such as the weather."

Finally, he said, "If I get on the mound, I will do 100% of what I have so that my team can win like last year and get good results," and vowed, "The last goal is to become the best pitcher in the league." He showed a strong will to perform better than last year (11 wins, 4 losses, 3.81 ERA).
