Samsung’s Kang Min-ho replaced by Kim Dong-yeop in the 5th inning due to right thumb pain

Kang Min-ho (Samsung) has been substituted due to a sore right thumb.

Kang Min-ho started the away game against Lotte at Sajik Stadium on Aug. 28 as the No. 4 designated hitter. After a sacrifice bunt in the first inning and a grounder to third base in the second, Kang Min-ho was replaced by pinch-hitter Kim Dong-yeop in the fifth inning.토스카지노

“Kang Min-ho felt discomfort in his thumb while batting, so he was replaced to protect the player,” a club official explained.

Meanwhile, Samsung was tied 5-5 in the top of the fifth inning. They led 5-1 through three innings, but Kim Ji-chan’s back-to-back errors in the fourth tied the game at 5-5. Samsung starter Albert Suarez has given up five runs (unearned) on six hits in four innings.
