David Buchanan (36), who left the Samsung Lions at the end of the 2023 season and is currently trying to re-enter the big league as a member of the Round Rock Express (under the Texas Rangers), was pulled out after showing regret in his fifth appearance this season.온라인바카라
Buchanan started the 2025 Minor League Triple-A Leno Aces (under the Arizona Diamondbacks) at Greater Nevada Field in Reno, Nevada on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) and recorded 11 hits (one home run), one walk, three strikeouts and five runs in three ⅓ innings.
Buchanan, who took the mound in the first inning with the support of the team's batting lineup in the first inning, allowed a 1-2 turnaround by giving up a timely double to Trey Mancini and Tristin English with two outs and runners on second base.
The next inning, Round Rock's lineup succeeded in tying the game again, but Buchanan lost the lead in the bottom of the second inning when he allowed a solo shot over the central fence to leadoff hitter AJ Bukovic. The change-up thrown by the decision ball in the advantageous count of one ball and two strikes became a real hit in the middle of the zone. Buchanan later gave up two more hits and was on the first and third bases with one out, but escaped the crisis by inducing the opponent Jordan Lauer to play a double play.
Buchanan continued his run-scoring spree in the bottom of the third inning. He struck out leadoff batters Ildemaro Vargas and Mancini to gain two outs, but allowed a double to English and a timely hit to Blazer Alexander.
Buchanan gave up consecutive hits to the first three batters in the fourth inning as well, adding more runs. Buchanan, who had a hard time getting one out by inducing Vargas to ground out, allowed a walk to the next batter, Mancini, and was ejected from the mound after loading the bases. Fortunately, no more earned runs were recorded as Luis Curbelo, who took over the mound, handled all subsequent batters.
Since then, the game has been pursued by both teams, and the score has been extended to 7-7 in the ninth inning. Both teams added one point each even in the 10th inning, and in the 11th inning, only Round Rock scored, which led to the victory with a final score of 9-8.
Buchanan, who served as Samsung's "blue-eyed ace" for four years from 2020, rejected Samsung's offer to renew his contract to try again in the big leagues after the end of the 2023 season. Buchanan has posted a record of 54 wins, 28 losses and an ERA of 3.02 in 113 KBO games.
After leaving Korea, Buchanan signed a minor contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, his hometown team, and entered into a fierce competition again, but it was not easy. He displayed compliance with the record of 9 wins, 3 losses and an ERA of 4.82 in 22 games (16 starts) at Triple-A Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, but was not called up to the big leagues in the end and transferred to the Cincinnati Reds through a mid-season trade.
Buchanan, who changed his uniform, pitched three ⅓ innings of two hits, one run and one run as he took the mound in the big league for the first time in nine years immediately after moving to the team, and had a thrilling return match. However, the very next day, he was given a DFA just one day after his promotion and left the team after the end of the season.
Buchanan, who announced his new start after signing a minor contract with Texas in January, started the season with Triple-A due to a sudden ankle injury and poor exhibition games. He displayed stable pitching in the full-fledged season. He showed consistent performance by allowing six runs in 21 ⅔ innings in four games before the game on the day, and achieved his first quality start of the season at the match against Leno on the 16th, the most recent game.
However, Buchanan's ERA in the season soared to 3.96 due to the early substitution of the game.
