Is today the day LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's 600th win.

LG changed the table setter that Park Hae-min built after Hong Chang-ki's injury. In the away game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 21st, LG composed the starting lineup of Moon Sung-joo (left-handed), Kim Hyun-soo (first baseman), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (captor), Song Chan-ui (right wing), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), and Lee Young-bin (second baseman).

Moon Sung-joo will be the first hitter this season. Moon Sung-joo was not very good with a batting average of 261 (18 hits in 69 times at bat) until April, but he is showing good batting performance with a batting average of 311 (14 hits in 45 times at bat) in May. On the previous day, he played a decisive role in the early lead by hitting two hits against Yoon Sung-bin.




Austin and Park Dong-won, who tied for second place in home runs, who were excluded from the starting lineup the previous day, returned to build a strong central batting line.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop recorded his career-high 599 wins with his victory the previous day, leaving only one win to 600 wins.

Since reporting his first win as a manager of the Kia Tigers on March 31, 2013, his second game as a manager of the Nexen Heroes in 2013, he had 599 wins, 11 draws and 463 losses in 1,073 games the previous day. He had 305 wins for the Nexen Heroes, 101 wins for the SK Wyverns, and 193 wins for the LG Twins. If he wins today, he will become the 12th coach to record 600 wins.




LG, which has been struggling in the bullpen due to a series of departures from must-win groups such as Jang Hyun-sik, Kim Kang-ryul, and Bae Jae-joon, called up Lee Ji-gang to the first team and lowered infielder Kim Joo-sung to the second team. LG, which had 13 pitchers in the first-team entry so far, had 14 pitchers with Lee Ji-gang coming in.

Meanwhile, Lotte used the lineup as Jang Doo-sung (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Reyes (left fielder), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Jeon Min-jae (striker), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Yoo Kang-nam (possession), and Son Ho-young (third baseman) who started the previous day.
