It's a clever 'eight moves'.
LG Twins' Lim Chan-kyu finally failed to win 10 games in the first half. Lim Chan-kyu started in an away game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 2nd and became a losing pitcher with five hits (one home run), one walk, five strikeouts and five runs (four earned) in five ⅔ innings. He failed to win nine games again, going 8-3 and his ERA deteriorated from 2.66 to 2.88. He came down from third in ERA to sixth. He lost the No. 1 spot in Korea to KT Wiz Oh Won-seok (2.87).
On May 27, he became a winning pitcher with one run in seven innings against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil, and even when he won his eighth game, he seemed to have won more than 10 games in the first half. This is because Lim Chan-kyu's pace was so good.
However, he added only two losses without winning in the next five games.
On June 1, he was replaced with a 4-3 lead by allowing three runs in five innings against Samsung, and failed to win nine games due to a come-from-behind loss, and on the 7th, he lost three runs in five innings against Kiwoom, but lost 1-3 because he was not supported by the batters.

He scored six scoreless innings against Hanwha on the 14th and took his ninth win with a 1-0 lead, but failed again after a 2-2 draw.
Lim Chan-kyu, who took a 10-day break from taking the mound once, took the mound against KT on the 26th and allowed two runs in five innings and came down from a 2-2 tie.
He tried to win his fifth game against Lotte, but failed again. At the bottom of the fourth inning when it was 0-0, a 127km changeup thrown to Jeon Jun-woo gathered in the middle and hit a two-run shot. He went up in the bottom of the sixth inning amid bad luck that hitters continued to create chances but failed to score, but he was hit by an RBI double by Kim Min-sung with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. Since then, Lim Chan-kyu's runs have increased to five points by giving up two more points.
It is his last appearance in the first half, so it will be his 6th 9th win against Kiwoom in Jamsil on the 8th. He had a good performance against Kiwoom this season with 2 wins and 1 loss and a 2.37 ERA, and he also had 5 wins, no losses and a 2.35 ERA in Jamsil, so we can expect it.
