In the opening match against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 22nd, starter Yoni Chirinos pitched well with two runs in six innings, and won a 12-2 victory thanks to the strength of the lineup, which hit 15 hits, including home runs by Moon Bo-kyung and Oh Ji-hwan.
Chirinos was the first starter and expected good pitching, but it was the first time in the KBO League. Moreover, as it was the first time for the team to experience continuous cheering culture in a crowded stadium, it was a game in which the team desperately needed help from the batters.
The score in the first inning helped Chirinos to good pitching.
LG, who scored the first run with a double by Kim Hyun-soo and a double by Austin after one out in the bottom of the first inning, did not miss Lotte starter Barnes' high slider mistake and connected it with a two-run shot over the right fence.
In the bottom of the third inning, Koo Bon-hyuk's two-out walk, wild pitch, and Hong Chang-ki's two-run double to right-center led 7-0.
In the top of the fourth inning, Son Ho-young allowed a two-run hit to lead 7-2, but Song Chan's RBI double at the bottom of the fourth inning and an opponent's error at the bottom of the fifth inning added one point to lead 9-2. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Oh Ji-hwan's solo shot added three runs with Shin Min-jae's RBI timely hit and Choi Won-young's sacrifice fly to lead the game to 12-2.
