On the 18th, at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan, Ryu Hyun-jin led Hanwha to a 5-0 victory over the Lotte Giants, pitching 7 innings, allowing 4 hits, no walks, striking out 3, and allowing no runs in an open game for the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season (with a total of 23,200 spectators). With this, Ryu Hyun-jin achieved a quality start in two consecutive games (starting 6 or more innings with 3 or fewer earned runs), lowering his ERA from 2.45 to 1.50. Hanwha Thanks to Jang & Dan's 11 hits, they broke a six-game losing streak and now have a record of 7 wins and 10 losses,,, Bomde lost again!! On this day, Ryu Hyun-jin threw a fastball (42 pitches) with a top speed of 149 km/h, and thrown a changeup (19 pitches), cutter (10 pitches), a curveball (1 pitch), and a sweeper (5 pitches) totaling 86 pitches, producing numerous hits. His main weapon, the changeup, and his 'new weapon' sweeper, against left-handed batters, also made a solid impact. Ryu Hyun-jin said, "After resting for ten days, I felt energized. I think the reason I was able to pitch seven innings with fewer pitches was because I threw a lot of fastballs and took the game quickly," he said. ,,, only 71 pitches up to the sixth inning, he was able to attempt a dominant start (starting at least 8 innings and allowing no more than 1 run). Coincidentally, after Ryu Hyun-jin was removed from the first team on the 8th, Hanwha had a worst ten days with a 1-6 record, but on this day, he returned to the first team and led the team to victory, successfully turning the momentum around for Hanwha.
