KIA Tigers eventually excluded Na Sung-beom from the lineup.

KIA will play the second game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 26th.

The previous day's game, which was unfortunately lost 4-7, deserves to be deeply remembered. Kia will play in the lineup of Ko Jong-wook (left fielder), Park Chan-ho (striker), Wisdom (third base), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Oh Sun-woo (right fielder), Byun Woo-hyuk (first base), Kim Ho-ryeong (middle fielder), Han Jun-su (catcher) and Kim Kyu-sung (second base). The starting pitcher is Lee Eui-ri, who will make his second start since returning to the first team.




It is notable that Na Sung-bum, who played as the fifth batter and right fielder the previous day, was absent from the lineup. Na Sung-bum has been suffering from severe batting slump this year. The season record is only 2.188 with four home runs and 17 RBIs, and OPS (on-base plus slugging) 0.701. In July alone, he has a batting average of 176, and an OPS of 0.398.

In the previous day's game, he was sluggish with no hits in four at-bats. In particular, he was unable to find his rhythm, striking out with no outs in the fourth inning when Wisdom's first shot was followed by Choi Hyung-woo's hit, a groundout to shortstop in the first and third bases with two outs and two outs in the fifth inning made by Wisdom and Choi Hyung-woo's two-run shot, and striking out with the bases loaded with two outs in the seventh inning, the last chance of the chase.

In the end, KIA manager Lee Bum-ho raised Oh Sun-woo to a clean-up and made changes to the lineup.




The starting pitcher the previous day was Kim Geon-guk, but as it flowed close, he again consumed major must-win groups such as Sung Young-tak, Choi Ji-min, and Cho Sang-woo.

For KIA, it will face Lotte's Lee Min-seok on the same day, while Lee Eui-ri, who will play his second game after returning, will take the lead to what number of innings. KIA has already lost four consecutive games. Director Lee Bum-ho's worries deepen.
