LG Twins outfielder Moon Sung-joo kept the team's second place.
In the home game against the Lotte Giants in Jamsil on the 20th, Moon Sung-joo started as the second right-handed pitcher and scored three hits (one home run) in four at-bats and two RBIs and two runs. The team won 3-2 and Moon Sung-joo was in all three points.
In the top of the first inning, he blocked a run and tied it. In the top of the first inning, trailing 0-1, he caught Yoon Dong-hee's right-handed hit with two outs and second base and threw it home to catch Reyes, the second baseman. The throw seemed to fall a little to the side, but catcher Park Dong-won caught it and tagged Reyes' hip side entering the home first to be out.
After one out in the bottom of the first inning, Lotte starter Lee Min-seok's 152km fastball became a home run over the left fence. It was the first home run in two years for Moon Sung-joo. The last time I played in Daegu on August 6, 2023. In Jamsil, it was first hit against Doosan on May 5, 2022, and this is the second time. tied 1-1 with his 10th career home run.
Moon Sung-joo also made the turnaround with an infield hit to the second baseman in the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs and third base when the 1-1 tie continued. It seemed to be getting out to center field, but Lotte second baseman Han Tae-yang came quickly and caught it and missed it. It was judged to be a safe ball even if it was caught and thrown, so it was recorded as an infield hit.

Later, Moon Sung-joo, who went to third base with a sacrifice bunt by pinch hitter Koo Bon-hyuk, homered with Moon Bo-kyung's double on the left-field line and scored the winning run. In the top of the ninth inning, Yoo Young-chan secured a 3-2 victory with a clean finish, so LG secured the second place alone.
When asked about the moment he felt best personally, Moon Sung-joo also talked about home runs. Moon Sung-joo said, "Homerun made me feel the best"It hit well, but there were so few home runs, so I thought it would be good if it was a double, but luckily it went over a little bit."
The home pitch in the top of the first inning is a case where mistakes lead to luck. Moon Sung-joo threw it toward the cut man, but it fell out so that no one could take it. But it went well and became a tag-out, he said with a cool smile.
I think the infield hit in the bottom of the fifth inning would have been a game even if the second baseman caught it. "I thought it was a close game timing that would be safe at first base even if the second baseman caught it when I hit it, but I was worried that it would be an error because I missed it."
The decisive double in the bottom of the eighth inning won the game offensively. Moon Sung-joo "Choi Jun-yong's fastball was so good. Every time I saw it, I thought it was so good. "I went out at the fastball timing thinking that the pitcher shouldn't let the runner out at the full count, but the changeup came in, and luckily it hit me well."
Moon, who was sluggish with a batting average of 240 (36 hits in 150 at-bats) until May, has shown good batting performance of 349 (45 hits in 129 at-bats) since June. His batting average for the season also rose to 290.
I don't let my guard down. "The blow came up When I think about it, I went down again, so my batting average is still around 20%, and Moon Sung-joo said "I don't think I'm letting my guard down because I think I have to hit five to six multi-hit games to improve my batting average and I think I have a good batting sense."I didn't put much meaning on the three hits of the day.
