There's no cardines, and I can't believe Choi Joo-hwan is out...

Kiwoom Heroes will play the last game of three consecutive games against the LG Twins without two center hitters.

Kiwoom will face LG at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 10th. Kiwoom, which escaped three consecutive losses with a complete 4-0 victory thanks to starter Rosenberg's 13 strikeouts and three home runs the previous day. If LG wins back-to-back games, it will have the power to play.




However, the sad news occurred ahead of the last game of the three consecutive games against LG. Choi Joo-hwan, the center hitter, was absent from the starting lineup. Coach Hong Won-ki, who met ahead of the game, said, `Choi Joo-hwan's calf condition is not good.'

Choi Joo-hwan is a runner on second base in the sixth inning of the previous day, and he dug home when Jeon Tae-hyun had a hit. The ball fell into a rip-off and seemed to be able to come home enough, but he was leisurely out of the home. It was the aftermath of not playing properly due to calf problems. Hong said, `We can't predict when we can be in a normal state. We have to watch."

Choi Joo-hwan also caught the ball in defense the previous day and stepped on Shin Min-jae's foot with a glove, but fortunately, there was no major problem in that area.

Kiwoom is also missing all three consecutive LG games due to its main gun, Cadines, also going on maternity leave. Fortunately, Cardinez shared the moment of her birth this morning. Coach Hong said, `It's something to celebrate. I hope you work harder when you come back."

After staying in Orange County in the U.S. until three consecutive games against the Hanwha Eagles this weekend, Cardinez will fly and join Busan, where the team is already moving on the 14th without a game. Kiwoom will continue its three-game series with the Lotte Giants in Busan next week.

Meanwhile, the fourth batter the day before was Choi Joo-hwan, and Park Joo-hong will be responsible for the fourth batter on the day due to Choi Joo-hwan's departure. He hit a home run against Hernandez a day ago and has a good feeling.
