Will the LG Twins have a chance to break the losing streak and the Hanwha Eagles have a chance to continue their winning streak in Daejeon.

It began to rain at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon in the afternoon on the 1st, when the last game of the three consecutive games during the week between the LG Twins and the Hanwha Eagles was scheduled. The amount of rain is quite large.

According to the forecast, it will rain until 6 o'clock, around the start of the game, and it will rain again from 8 o'clock after being in a lull for about two hours. Depending on the amount of rain falling before the game and when it stops, whether or not it will be held is likely to be decided.




Currently, a large white tarpaulin covers the entire infield at Hanwha Life Ball Park.

LG is currently in a crisis. Until the 19th, he was leading by 6 games with 18 wins and 4 losses, leading by 6 games against Hanwha, which was ranked second at the time, and reigning as a 'absolute 1st place'. However, he fell into a slump of two wins and seven losses until the previous day. Recently, it has been on the decline as it has lost a total of four consecutive games, including two consecutive losses to KIA and two consecutive losses to Hanwha. The batting lineup, which was the driving force behind the early rise, is now the cause of the sluggishness. The batters, who have given strength to the mound by scoring a lot from the beginning, are finding it difficult to score points these days.

LG, which has lost four consecutive games and confirmed its third consecutive losing series, will have left-handed Son Joo-young, who is the second starter, taking the mound to break the losing streak. Son Joo-young has won three consecutive games in the first half and has only lost one game in the next three games.




He has gained only 10 points during his four consecutive losses, including only two points in the last three consecutive games.

Son Joo-young will take the mound at LG on the 1st to break the fourth consecutive loss against Hanwha on the 1st. Son Joo-young also showed a good flow by becoming a winning pitcher in all three games, but lost only one game in the next three games. In the game against Doosan on the 13th, he became a losing pitcher with a shocking slump of six hits, three walks and six runs in three innings amid bad weather where the game was frequently suspended due to hail, and in the game against SSG on the 19th, he was unlucky to be replaced after more than two hours of one hit and no run in three innings. In the match against KIA on the 25th, the team was on the verge of losing the game due to poor performance of seven hits, three walks and five runs (three earned runs) in three ⅔ innings, but the team came from behind to win.

He had three wins and a 2.25 ERA in the first three games, but was bad with one loss and an 8.38 ERA in the next three games.




I'm curious about what kind of pitching it will be this time, but LG has a chance to escape four consecutive losses only when it shows good performance in the beginning.

Eom Sang-baek, who signed an FA contract for a total of 7.8 billion won for four years this year, will start Hanwha, which is trying to win five consecutive games.

Perhaps due to the burden of moving to FA, his early performance was not good. His first appearance was against LG in Jamsil on March 26, and he became a losing pitcher with six hits (one home run), two walks, five strikeouts and two runs in four ⅔ innings. Um Sang-baek, who lost three runs in three innings against Samsung on the 6th and lost three runs in three innings against Kiwoom on the 12th, lost four runs in five innings against NC on the 18th, but his team won the first game with a 12-4 victory.

And on the 25th, just before, he recorded his first quality start since moving with four hits and one run in six innings against the KT Wiz in Daejeon.

If you throw it like the game against KT, Hanwha can fully expect five consecutive wins.

How much more rain falls and when it stops is the key to whether or not it will be held.
