Barnes started the opening game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 22nd and recorded eight hits (one home run), two walks, two strikeouts and seven runs in three innings.
Barnes is a long-term foreign pitcher who has been accompanied by Lotte for four years this season with a career record of 32 wins and 28 losses and an ERA of 3.42.
He was selected as the starting pitcher for the opening game and was a left-handed pitcher, so he seems to be strong against LG, but he was not very good against LG except for the first year. His overall performance against LG was 2-5 with a 4.94 ERA.
Barnes, who had 2 wins and 2 losses with a 3.09 ERA in four games in 2022, was sluggish with three losses and a 7.64 ERA without winning four games in 2023. Last year, he pitched in one game and recorded a 4.26 ERA without losing or losing. Although the ERA is not good, he started in Ulsan on August 3rd and recorded a quality start with six hits (two home runs), no four outs, five strikeouts, and three runs in six ⅓ innings. At that time, Moon Bo-kyung hit a one-run home run and Park Dong-won hit a two-run home run.
It was good in this year's exhibition game. In the match against KIA on the 9th, he allowed three hits and seven strikeouts in four innings, and in the match against KT on the 16th, he allowed two runs in four ⅔ innings and was declared a no-game due to rain during the fifth inning.
I hoped to cut off bad memories of the LG match in the first game, but I failed. Rather, it was connected.

In the bottom of the second inning, he was on the verge of a one-out first and second base with an infield hit, a sacrifice bunt, and a hit ball, but he blocked Kim Hyun-soo with a ground ball in front of the second base and Austin with a fly to center field, but lost again in the bottom of the third inning.
After receiving a left-handed hit by the first-runner Moon Bo-kyung, he gave up a surprise bunt hit to No. 5 Oh Ji-hwan. Song Chan's sacrifice bunt and Park Dong-won's walk loaded the bases with one out. After a full count match with Park Hae-min, he struck out a rookie with a high fastball to make two outs, but failed to throw a strike to No. 9 Koo Bon-hyuk. In 1B1S, only three balls were sprayed in a row, allowing a walk. In the match against Hong Chang-ki, he threw an outside lure in the advantageous count of 2S and became a wild pitch, and lost another point. The second and third bases with two outs were followed by a full-count battle with Hong Chang-ki, and the 10th 143km fastball became a double to the right-center, giving up two more runs. Before he knew it, he grounded out Kim Hyun-soo to second base and ended the long third inning.
In the top of the fourth inning, Lotte was replaced by Kim Kang-hyun at the bottom of the fourth inning when Son Ho-young's two-run timely hit chased 2-7.
The number of pitches was 81. He sprayed 25 fastballs, 30 sliders, 17 changeups, and 9 two-seam pitches with a maximum speed of 146 km.
