On this day, Pittsburgh suffered an early defeat as starting pitcher Bailey Poulter was in extreme trouble,

became the leadoff hitter in the top of the 3rd inning and reached base with a strike out and not out.

In the 4th inning, he calmly drew a walk with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd bases,

creating an opportunity to load the bases, but there was no follow-up hit.

In the 6th inning, he hit a timely hit to chase down the pitcher.

Bae Ji-hwan, who came to bat in the top of the sixth inning with one out and runners on second and third base when the team was down 1-9,

easily caught a curveball from Cincinnati’s second pitcher Alex Young and brought in a runner on third base with a hit to right.

Bae Ji-hwan, who came to the plate with no outs on second base,

hit a big fly ball to center field to advance Rivas to third base, but there was no follow-up hit.

However, with Pittsburgh Pirates struggling to come back in the top of the 8th inning,

Bae Ji-hwan’s bat also exploded.

Pittsburgh scored two points with timely hits from Jack Swinski and Rivas to take the lead to 11-9.

Bae Ji-hwan, who appeared with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd base,

hit a scathing 2-RBI double to left-center, widening the lead to 13-9.

However, Bae Ji-hwan was unfortunately out after passing the base

while stealing third base during the subsequent at-bat.

Cincinnati Reds

Bae Ji-hwan played a decisive role in defense and rescued Pittsburgh from crisis.

Cincinnati, trailing 11-13 in the bottom of the 8th inning,

hit a bullet-like hit from Tyler Stevenson that went through the second base

with one out and runners on first and second base.

However, Bae Ji-hwan caught the ball with a diving catch,

then stepped on second base and threw to first base,

completing a double play to end the inning.

Pittsburgh’s closer Karman Mlozinski, who pitched in the bottom of the 9th inning,

gave up 1 run, but the team maintained the victory,

winning 13-12 and winning 4 times in a row.
