After losing five consecutive games, LG has won two consecutive games with a 4-1 and 12-4 victory over SSG, maintaining its No. 1 ranking with 22 wins and 12 losses. First of all, I took a breather, but Hanwha Eagles, who are in second place, have won six consecutive games and are chasing by one game with 21 wins and 13 losses.
The 5th to start the Children's Day series with the Doosan Bears. According to the rotation, LG will put Song Seung-ki, the first starter, on the mound. Foreign ace Cole Irvin will take the mound for Doosan.
LG formed a starting lineup of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Song Chan-ui (left wing), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), and Lee Joo-heon (catcher) against Doosan's left-handed ace Cole Irvin. Five right-handed hitters were deployed.
Son Yong-joon, a second-year player who played in the SSG match on the 3rd and 4th after coming up to the first team with a good batting average of 370 (30 hits in 81 at-bats) in the Futures League, went down to the second team again, and Moon Jung-bin was called up and immediately started as the 6th-1st baseman. Son Yong-joon made his first hit against Kim Kwang-hyun on the 3rd and recorded one hit in three at-bats, but he had no hit in two at-bats in the game on the 4th.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `I was going to give Park Dong-won a designated hitter, but I think he's very tired, so I'm going to give him a rest and make him a substitute later.'
LG won a 12-4 victory the previous day by scoring 12 points with Moon Bo-kyung's two home runs and seven RBIs. It is the first time in 12 games that LG has scored more than 10 points since the match against Incheon SSG (11-4 victory) on April 19. The key will be whether the reviving lineup can also explode against Doosan ace Cole Irvin.
Song Seung-ki is continuing his stable pitching with five starters who are not the same as five starters. He has two wins and two losses with a 2.94 ERA in six games. He became a losing pitcher with three runs in five innings in the previous match against Hanwha in Daejeon, but he showed a sense of stability in throwing until the fifth inning of every game.
He took the mound against Doosan on April 11 and recorded a quality start with four hits, three walks and two runs in six innings. LG trailed 1-2 and won 5-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning with Park Dong-won's come-from-behind three-run shot.
Doosan starter Col Irvin is 4-2 with a 2.95 ERA in seven games. It will be his first appearance against LG this season.
He has a batting average of 0.241 for right-handed hitters and 0.188 for left-handed hitters, showing a strong performance for left-handed hitters. I wonder if LG, which had five right-handed hitters, will succeed in targeting Cole Irvin.
LG is trying to win Children's Day for the first time in four years since its victory in 2021 (7-4). It lost 4-9 in 2022, and was canceled in 2023 and last year due to rain.
