Riley's ERA soared due in large part to the game against LG on April 29. Riley lasted five ⅓ innings in the game, but gave up seven hits, four walks including two homers, and allowed nine runs (six earned runs). Out of seven hits, he had six hits alone.
Prior to the game on Monday, LG's performance against left-handed hitters was 0.232 and 0.754 with a batting average of 0.143-OPS of 0.608 against right-handed hitters. As LG clearly showed weakness against left-handed hitters, the team started its usual lineup of left-handed hitters at the game on Tuesday.
Riley on Monday, however, was different from his predecessor. Riley had only three hits through the sixth inning, and the hit by a left-handed batter ended with a single hit that he gave up to Park Hae-min in the first inning. He also gave up only two walks and recorded seven strikeouts, overwhelming LG's batters.
Thanks to Riley's good pitching, NC won 3-1. NC has achieved its first winning series since its first three consecutive games against Kiwoom in April with two wins and one loss. It gave the No. 1 team LG its first losing series since the season's opening. Coach Lee Ho-joon applauded after the game, saying that Riley, the starting pitcher, played his part in the first game in four days, laying the groundwork for the team's victory.
Riley said, "Today's game overall felt great. I'm more than happy that the team won. I'm always focusing on what I can do and I think that's what's led to a good result."
He also added, "Kim Hyung-joon, who worked together today, has really good abilities and that ability seems to lead to our good chemistry. I want to contribute to the team's winning a lot of games with good performance like today."
While dealing with left-handed hitters, he ended the vicious cycle of increasing the number of pitches and even losing points after causing a crisis. Riley said there is no special reason for the change in the results against left-handed hitters. "There was nothing different than usual," he said. "When I play baseball, sometimes it doesn't work out well. I trusted my ball and threw it as usual. All the pitches went well today," he said.
