Lotte Giants have won four consecutive games with a fire bat suitable for the hot summer. KIA Tigers couldn't use their strength throughout the series due to the aftereffects of a doubleheader and giant phobia.
In Game 3 of the Youngho Series against KIA at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 27th, Lotte hit 14 hits, winning 11 to 2, and winning four consecutive games without hesitation.
As a result, Lotte won its 34th victory (40 losses and 3 draws) and accelerated its advance to the mid-range. With the second consecutive Winning Series, it is already in front of the top five. In particular, this match, which is drawing attention as a three-game weekend series against the seventh-ranked Hanwha Eagles, a 0.5-game gap, and a teacher-studded match between Lotte coach Kim Tae-hyung and Hanwha coach Kim Kyung-moon, has turned into a hotter rival match.
On the other hand, Kia, the leading team, is threatened with its No. 1 position by recording a series of loosings with one draw and two losses against Lotte. KIA, which recorded its 32nd loss (45 wins and 2 draws) in this season, also has a broken winning rate of 60 percent due to its previous loss to Lotte. It signaled an even fiercer ranking battle.
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said of Ko Seung-min's injury departure, which had been hitting hard recently, `We should give him a break at least onceRecalling his remarks, "'Your mouth is a bodhisattva...'"I was upset. Although it takes three to four weeks to complete a full recovery, it is expected to return if there is no problem with hitting when wearing a protective band. For now, like Charlie Barnes, he will return around the beginning of the second half.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho acknowledged the so-called `giant phobia,' `When I meet Lotte, there is a strange twist.' However, "The process of overcoming it should also go in the right direction. Otherwise, the team will be under strain. It is judged that the aftermath of the doubleheader against Hanwha in Gwangju on the 23rd was unreasonable in many ways.
Lotte played in the lineup of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Reyes (left wing), Na Seung-yeop (first base), Jung Hoon (third base), Choi Hang (second base), Park Seung-wook (striker) and Son Sung-bin (catcher). The first choice is Park Se-woong.
The away team KIA faced off with Lee Chang-jin (left fielder), Socrates (center fielder), Kim Do-young (third base), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Na Sung-beom (right fielder), Lee Woo-sung (first base), Seo Geon-chang (second base), Han Jun-su (catcher) and Park Chan-ho (striker). Yoon Young-chul was selected.

Both teams' starters pitched well without losing a point until the third inning. Unfortunately, KIA scored the first point in three consecutive games. In the top of the fourth inning, Na Sung-bum hit a double that separated the left-center line with two outs and a runner on first base, and Kim Do-young quickly dug home.
Lotte seemed to have had bad luck again, with Jeon Joon-woo's double play in the first inning, and Son Sung-bin's chance failed after being out with a bunt foul fly on the first and second bases with no outs in the third inning.
However, he produced five runs and a big inning in the bottom of the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Na Seung-yeop's double with one out and a runner on the first base led to Reyes' excessive home run, but KIA Park Chan-ho's throw missed and led to a score.

Choi Hang's timely hit later overturned the game, and Park Seung-wook, Son Sung-bin and Hwang Sung-bin's three consecutive doubles broke out to lead 5-1 in an instant. Yoon Young-chul, who had no earned run in 19 innings, was replaced by swallowing anger.
Lotte took the lead by adding RBI with long balls in the fifth inning, Na Seung-yeop and Choi Hang, and Jeon Jun-woo and Reyes in the sixth inning, respectively. Jung Hoon also added one more point with a solid sacrifice fly. KIA only recovered one point with Kim Do-young's solo shot in the top of the eighth inning.
