BUSAN, South Korea (Interstat) — Kim Jin-uk delivered eight strong innings, allowing one run on three hits, to lead the Lotte Giants to a 6-1 victory over the KT Wiz on Wednesday evening at Busan Sajik Baseball Stadium.

The Lotte starter struck out six and outdueled the KT staff as the Giants pounded out 13 hits before a crowd of 16,080. Sam Hilliard’s solo home run in the second provided KT’s only run. Lotte tied it in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Son Seong-bin before taking the lead on an RBI single from Jo-jo Reyes. Kim Min-sung’s two-run homer in the fifth extended the advantage.

The win improved Lotte to 3-7, while the KBO-leading Wiz fell to 7-3. The teams conclude their series Thursday.
