4/17 - Lotte 13, Heroes 8
4/18 - Lotte 5, Heroes 0
4/19 - Heroes 6, Lotte 2

Lotte battered Heroes pitching for 6 homeruns on Friday night. Karim Garcia lead the way with a 2-run bomb in the 7th and a solo shot in the 9th. Lee Dae-ho, Kim Joo-chan, Kang Min-ho and Lee In-gu also went deep for the Giants. The Seoul Heroes foreign guys also did well on Friday. Clark and Brumbaugh combined to go 4 for 10 with 5 RBI and 4 K's. This was just an ugly, long game.

On Satuday, Lotte Giants starter Kim Il-yeob was pulled after only 2 2/3 innings of work. He didn't appear to leave because of injury. I'm guessing he reached a set pitch count. 4 Lotte relievers combined to finish the shutout. Lee Jong Min notched a 3 inning save. At the plate, the homers continued. All 5 Lotte runs were hit via the longball. Cho Seong-hwan and Karim Garcia both hit 2-run bombs in the 4th inning. Lee Dae-ho added a solo shot in the 8th inning.

The Heroes finally got some pitching on Sunday and got themselves a W. Lee Hyeon-seung worked 6 solid innings(94 pitches, 63 strikes) of 2-run ball. He allowed only 5 hits and 1 walk with 4 K's while earning the W. It's still early in the season, but Lee is quietly among the league leaders in most pitching categories. Hwang Doo-seong struck out 3 of the 4 batters he faced to nail down his 4th save. At the plate for the Heroes, 3rd baseman Hwang Jae-gyun delivered a key 2 RBI double to give the Heroes a 2-1 lead in the 3rd inning. He would later score what would prove to be the winning run in the same inning on an RBI single from Doug Clark.
