Davison started the game against SSG Landers in the "2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League" at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th and recorded three hits (one home run), two walks, two strikeouts and one run in seven innings. 

Davidson started the game by receiving one run and allowed leadoff hitter Jihoon Choi to walk in the bottom of the first inning. Jeong Joon-jae caught the leadoff hitter by himself by hitting a ground ball to the pitcher, but made a mistake to check, causing a crisis with one out and second base. Nevertheless, he got over the crisis of losing a point by striking out Park and catching Guillermo Herredia with a fly ball to the right field. 

Davidson, who had three outs in the second inning, allowed Ha Jae-hoon to hit a tying solo homer with one out in the third inning. After giving up a lucky hit to Jihoon Choi, Davidson caught Jeong Joon-jae's surprise bunt hit. With two outs and runners on the second base, which allowed Jihoon Choi to steal second base, Park Sung-han was caught on a foul fly by third baseman to prevent additional runs. 

After overcoming the crisis once, Davidson regained stability. He showed clean pitching by allowing three outs in the fourth and fifth innings. Davidson, who also hit Jihoon Choi and Jung Joon-jae with poor batting in the sixth inning, was hit by Park Sung-han, but ended the inning without much crisis by inducing Eredia to ground out to the shortstop. In the eighth inning when Lotte was leading 2-1, it handed over the mound to Jung Cheol-won to end the day. Lotte allowed closer Kim Won-joong to tie the game, but he won 3-2 after extra time to escape from the opening game's second consecutive loss. 

With 89 pitches, Davidson used sliders (44 pitches), fastballs (18 pitches), forks (15 pitches), sweeper (8 pitches), and curves (4 pitches). He showed off his fastest speeds of up to 148 kilometers per hour and 142 kilometers per hour on sliders. He displayed very aggressive pitching with a strike rate of 68.5%. 

"We had some bad results last weekend. I wanted to help my team win today's game. I think it was very helpful for me to analyze the opponent team's batting style yesterday with the catcher," Davison said in an interview after the game. 

Having played 44 sliders, twice as many as his fastball, Davidson showed off sliders so fast that catcher Cho In-geun said, "He is a slider that feels like a cutter." "He is very sharp and has good pitching regardless of whether he is a left or right hitter. He has good pitching capability, so if he throws like today, he can win more than 10 games," Cho said, predicting Davidson's performance. 

"I played the game with the idea of 'Let's focus on increasing the out count' before going into today's game," Davison said. "Slider and folk ball played a good role in the game management, and it was a great help in controlling the number of pitches." He continued, "Today is just my first appearance of the season. I want to continue to work hard to adapt to the KBO League and become a player who can play an important role in the team."
