In an exhibition game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 10th, LG won 7-2 by scoring seven runs in the top of the sixth inning. LG had one win and two losses and Lotte had one win, one draw and one loss.
Lotte, which started Kim Jin-wook, consisted of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Reyes (designated hitter), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (left fielder), Park Seung-wook (striker), Han Tae-yang (second baseman) and Information-geun (catcher).
LG, where foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez started, made a lineup of six right-handed hitters: Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Song Chan-ui (left wing), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Lee Joo-heon (possession), and Choi Won-young (center fielder). A preparation for the opponent being a left-handed pitcher.
The selection fight was tight. In particular, Kim Jin-wook pitched to raise expectations this season. The first, third and fourth innings ended with three outs. It was a crisis only in the top of the second inning, but he also blocked it without allowing a run. Kim Jin-wook, who got on base with a hit ball by the lead No. 4 Moon Bo-kyung, struck out No. 5 Moon Jung-bin with a swing and miss, but he was hit to the left by No. 6 Song Chan-ui and was driven to the first and second bases with one out. However, he escaped the crisis by treating Koo Bon-hyuk with a fly to right field and Lee Joo-heon with a ground ball in front of third base.
In four innings, he gave up just one hit and allowed five strikeouts and no runs. Thirty-two of the 45 were strikes. The combination of fastball and slider of up to 145km was very good.
Hernandez also gave up a hit, but he approached the full-time starter this season with no four outs. The bottom of the first inning was disappointing. A run was lost after being hit by Reyes, a two-out runner on second base due to an error. In the bottom of the third inning, he had consecutive hits and faced a crisis of first and second bases with no outs, but escaped with a double play. After two hits in the bottom of the fourth inning, Jeon Joon-woo hit and the number of pitches reached 61 and was replaced by Park Myung-geun, and Park Myung-geun caught Park Seung-wook with a line drive to third baseman to finish the inning.
After the starting fight, LG won the bullpen fight. The problem was Lotte's defense. He dedicated the score to three errors.

As Kim Jin-wook went down, LG began to pinch hit the main players on the bench. In the top of the sixth inning, Park Hae-min, who replaced Hong Chang-ki, walked against Lotte's second pitcher Park Joon-woo and got on base. Shin Min-jae then hit a double on the left-field line, and Park Hae-min turned third base and dug home to become a safe, tying 1-1.
Then, as shortstop Park Seung-wook made an error that put Austin's ground ball in front of the shortstop behind him because he couldn't hit the ball properly, Lotte had a disaster and LG had good luck. With no outs and runners on the first and third bases, Moon Bo-kyung hit a left-handed hit to turn the game around 2-1. Moon Jung-bin struck out and became the first and second base with one out, and Song Chan-ui's left-handed hit followed by Choi Seung-min's steal of the third base, widening the gap to 3-1. When pinch hitter Oh Ji-hwan walked and loaded the bases with one out, and Park Dong-won was at-bat, Han Hyun-hee came up to the mound. And Park Dong-won hit hard in front of the third baseman. It led to a double play, but third baseman Son Ho-young's throw to second base became a bad pitch that fell toward left field. Two runners step on the groove and hit the second and third bases with one out.
Pinch hitter Kim Hyun-soo hit his body and loaded the bases again. And Park Hae-min hit a right-handed hit from the changed Song Jae-young to make it 7-1.
Lotte made two outs and runners on first and second base with Na Seung-yeop's right-field double and Park Seung-wook's walk after one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, and scored one run with Jeon Min-jae's left-handed hit, but the chase was suspended due to a strikeout by Kim Jin-sung, whose information roots changed.
LG added another run in the top of the eighth inning due to Oh Ji-hwan's double, rookie pitcher Kim Tae-hyun's wild pitch, and catcher Son Sung-bin's throwing error to third base to make it 8-2.
Lotte rookie Kim Tae-hyun took the mound in the top of the seventh inning and finished his first appearance in his debut by allowing one hit, one walk, one strikeout and one run (non-earned) in two innings. He threw a total of 29 fastballs of up to 141 kilometers, 10 fork balls, 4 curves, and 3 sliders.
LG was relieved that Kim Jin-sung, the core of the bullpen, still pitched well. Kim Jin-sung, who built himself in Icheon's second-tier camp instead of Arizona and Okinawa camps due to chronic back pain, pitched one ⅓ of innings without hits, four outs, and three strikeouts, raising expectations.
Rookie Kim Young-woo took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning with an 8-2 lead, took two outs, gave up two consecutive walks, suddenly shaking, but he finished the game by catching Choi Hang with a ground ball in front of the second base.
