Moon Bok-kyung opened again today. If I got caught, I moved on. Jamsil Stadium, the largest in Korea, was of no help.

The LG Twins, who have been reborn as a cannon corps, devastated the Lotte Giants mound.

In Game 2 of the opening series against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 23rd, LG won a 10-2 victory by adding a home run by starter Son Joo-young and a home run by Moon Bo-kyung, Park Dong-won, Austin, Song Chan-eui and Moon Jung-bin.

It is the second consecutive victory in the opening period following the previous day. He showed off his devastating power by scoring 22 points by hitting 28 hits, including seven homers, against Lotte for two days. In the process, Lotte only gave up 13 hits and four runs without a home run.

LG Son Joo-young and Lotte Park Se-woong will face off on the day. Park Se-woong is Lotte's backbone. He has played an average of 159 innings over the past five years, and in particular, he is a representative KBO league innings player with 173 ⅓ in 30 games last year.

Son Joo-young is a rising star with a 9-10 record and a 3.79 ERA by filling the regular innings last year. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who met before the game, said of Son Joo-young "Considering our team's history this year, I think Son Joo-young will win about 13 games." I want you to take responsibility for at least 170 innings and 180 innings if possible"(If it grows well as planned), the pitcher who will start next year's opening game will be praised."

Amid Son Joo-young's stable pitching, LG's home run was in full swing, devastating the Lotte mound. Starting with Moon Bo-kyung in the first inning, Park Dong-won in the second inning, Austin in the fifth inning, and Song Chan-eui in the sixth inning shot home runs in succession, quickly taking a 5-0 lead. The area of Jamsil Stadium, the largest in Korea, did not interfere with LG's home run.

Following the previous day, Moon Bo-kyung opened the door again. Moon Bo-kyung appeared at first base with two outs in the bottom of the first inning and pushed Park Se-woong's outer curve to connect with a two-run shot over the right fence. It is a home run in the first inning in two consecutive games following a two-run shot that frustrated Barnes the previous day.

Will it be a cannon, not a steal this year. LG frustrated Park Se-woong by launching a series of 'New Wind Home Runs'. In the bottom of the second inning, Park Dong-won pulled Park Se-woong's 151km fastball and sent it over 131m of the left-center distance.

At the bottom of the fifth inning, Austin pulled a 141km slider into the middle of Park Se-woong and shot it back to a similar position. The difference was a low firing angle of 17.9 and a bullet hit of 178km.

LG faced Lotte's second pitcher Park Jin in the bottom of the sixth inning, and Song Chan-ui crossed the left fence this time, leading 5-0 and on the verge of winning two consecutive games.

LG starter Son Joo-young tied Lotte's batting line up to one hit and no run until the seventh inning by mixing up to 150 kilometers of strong fastballs (46), curves (24), cut fastballs (14), fork (7), and slider (5).

There was also a crisis. It was Lotte's counterattack in the top of the eighth inning.

Lotte had an absolute chance to load the bases with no outs, following Na Seung-yeop's hit, Jung Hoon's walk, and Information Geun's hit against LG's second pitcher Kim Jin-sung.

Here, Ko Seung-min struck out swinging, but Jeon Min-jae hit an RBI timely hit that missed three days, so Lotte followed the one-run mark. Jeon Min-jae hit a double on the left-field line, Lotte's only hit, against LG Son Joo-young, and then hit a timely hit, emerging as Lotte's hope.

Lotte's next batter, Yoon Dong-hee, is an infield fly ball. Son Ho-young, who entered with the bases loaded with two outs, hit a 127km folk ball on Kim Jin-sung's fifth pitch and hit a hit for three days. However, he was blocked like a movie by third baseman Moon Bo-kyung's glove.

LG hit the Lotte mound in the bottom of the eighth inning, adding five more runs to secure its victory. In particular, with an 8-1 lead, pinch hitter Moon Jung-bin celebrated his first hit on his debut with a two-run home run, winning a big victory for two consecutive days.

In the top of the ninth inning, LG showed the ease of taking the mound of must-win group Kim Kang-ryul, cutting an additional point off Lotte's counterattack and finishing the game. Lotte lost its second straight game at the opening.
