Lotte Giants secured a victory thanks to the performances of players returning from suspension.

On the 6th, Lotte defeated KT Wiz 8-1 at Suwon KT Wiz Park. The top-ranked KT saw their starting pitcher, Boshill, collapse, ending their two-game winning streak.

The heroes of the victory were Na Seung-yeop (24) and Go Seung-min (26), who had been suspended for 30 games for visiting an illegal gambling den during spring training and returned the previous day (the 5th).

Starting at fourth spot and first base, Na Seung-yeop hit a two-run home run over the right-field fence in the top of the sixth inning with one out and a runner on first, with the count at 1-0, off Boshill's second pitch, a body-side curveball. The ball traveled 130 meters in a large arc. It was his first home run in two games since returning from suspension and his first in 235 days since September 13 last year against the SSG Landers.

Na Seung-yeop hit a two-run double off pitcher Joo-kwon immediately after the game resumed following a 23-minute suspension due to smoke infiltration in the stadium in the top of the seventh inning with no outs and a runner on second. His line for the day was 2-for-5 with three RBIs.

Go Seung-min (26), who also returned the previous day, started at second base and batted second. With Lotte trailing 0-1 in the top of the third inning, one out, and runners on first and second, he hit a go-ahead, two-run double to left-center field. In the sixth inning, he led off with a single to left field, sparking a four-run big inning. He went 2-for-5 with two RBIs. Together with Na Seung-yeop, the two combined for four hits and five RBIs.

In addition to those two batters, Lotte exploded for 16 hits, including two hits each from seven players such as Jang Doo-seong, Reyes, Jeon Jun-woo, Yoon Dong-hee, and Jeon Min-jae.

Lotte's starting pitcher Boshill earned his third win (two losses) of the season with a steady performance of six innings, allowing three hits and one run. In contrast, KT's Boshill collapsed, giving up 11 hits and six runs over six innings, suffering his second loss (four wins) of the season.
