It is a crisis of sweep loss in the first three consecutive games for the LG Twins.

LG, which lost 3 to 4 and 2 to 4 by Samsung's domestic pitchers even after throwing all the foreign one-two punches to the Samsung Lions, will escape back-to-back losses against Samsung's foreign pitcher Denny Reyes this time.

In the home game against Samsung at Jamsil on the 1st, LG's starting lineup was composed of Park Hae-min (center fielder), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Park Dong-won (catcher), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Koo Bon-hyuk (third baseman), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman).




LG has won against Reyes once this year. He won the second game of the doubleheader 4-1 in Daegu on the 10th.

At that time, starter Lim Chan-kyu pitched well with two hits and one run (accidental) in six innings, and Kim Kang-ryul, Kim Young-woo, Kim Jin-sung, and Jang Hyun-sik took the mound one after another to secure a three-run victory.

Reyes struck out four ⅓ with seven hits (one homer) and three walks, four strikeouts, and four runs in four innings.




Park Hae-min was good with two hits in two at-bats to Reyes, Park Dong-won and Oh Ji-hwan each had one hit in two at-bats, and Kim Hyun-soo and Moon Sung-joo also had one hit in three at-bats.

It is the second face-off between Lim Chan-kyu and Reyes in this game, so I wonder what the result will be.

Reyes was shaken by three runs in five innings against Lotte on the 17th following the game against LG, but he became the winning pitcher with three hits and no runs in seven ⅔ innings against Kiwoom on the 22nd, the previous day.




Lim Chan-kyu tries to win the most games. On the 27th, he became a winning pitcher with five hits and one run in seven innings against Hanwha in Jamsil, securing his eighth win of the season. Along with Lotte's Park Se-woong and Hanwha's Ponce, Park Se-woong and Ponce took the mound once each, but Lim Chan-kyu had a chance to become the sole No. 1 player.

Meanwhile, LG's closing pitcher is finally back. On this day, Yoo Young-chan was registered in the first team and Woo Kang-hoon was canceled.

Yoo Young-chan, who defended LG's back door with 26 saves last year, has been rehabilitating since a medical check after participating in the Premier 12 found a microfracture of the main skull.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said he plans to leave his position as soon as he finishes the season as he believes that finishing is more helpful in taking care of his body because Jang Hyun-sik is out due to injury and Yoo Young-chan has to take care of himself for the time being.
