The Lotte Giants won their first game in the second half of the year, narrowing the gap to the second-place LG Twins again.
In an away game against LG at Jamsil on the 19th, Lotte won a complete victory of 6 to 1 by receiving a meal prepared by LG pitchers with a walk. Lotte lost 48 wins, 3 draws and 40 losses, and LG lost 49 wins, 2 draws and 38 losses. The two were again separated by one game.
On the same day, LG's starting lineup consisted of Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Moon Bo-kyung (3rd baseman), Park Dong-won (captor), Lee Joo-heon (designated hitter), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Kim Joo-sung (first baseman), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder). LG, which also had seven left-handed batters the previous day, excluded Chun Sung-ho and Oh Ji-hwan, and added Koo Bon-hyuk and Kim Joo-sung to increase the number of right-handed batters to four.
Lotte made up the starting lineup with Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Park Chan-hyung (third baseman), Reyes (left fielder), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Han Tae-yang (second baseman), and Lee Ho-jun (striker).
It is the second starting showdown between LG Elijah Hernandez and Lotte Tucker Davidson. When they met in Busan on the 1st, Hernandez failed to pass the 5th inning with 2 hits, 4 walks, 4 strikeouts and 1 run in 4 innings, and Davison had a quality start with 6 hits (one home run), 3 walks, 8 strikeouts and 2 runs in 6 innings, but his team lost 2-3, becoming a losing pitcher.
Both teams failed to score in the early chances.

After two outs in the top of the second inning, Lotte's Yoo Kang-nam hit a double that hit the left fence directly, but Na Seung-yeop stepped down with a ground ball in front of the first base, and LG, where Moon Bo-kyung only grounded out in front of the first base with two outs in the bottom of the first inning, created a chance for the first and second bases with Koo Bon-hyuk's right-handed hit, second-base stolen bases, and Kim Joo-sung's hit, but Park Hae-min's well-hit ball was caught by the third baseman's line drive.
Lotte scored the first run in the top of the fourth inning. Hernandez, who had been throwing well, suddenly shook, and Lotte dug in well at this time. After one out, Reyes and Jeon Jun-woo walked consecutively to get a chance to first and second base, and Yoon Dong-hee hit a left-handed hit to make it 1-0. And Yoo Kang-nam, who hit a double in his first at-bat, hit a two-run double that separated left-center this time to make it 3-0 at once.
After Shin Min-jae drew a walk after one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, LG also recovered one run by hitting home on Moon Sung-joo's double to left-center. When Shin Min-jae comes home, Moon Sung-joo runs to third base and tags out. After two outs, Kim Hyun-soo tried to steal second base after getting a walk, but tag out. However, Kim Hyun-soo applied for a video review. Watching the video replay and it's not tagged. It was overturned to safe and then Davison's balk made it to third base with two outs, but Moon Bo-kyung stepped down with a ground ball in front of the third base and failed to score additional points.

Davison threw only the fifth inning. He pitched 86 times. He became the winning pitcher with five hits, two walks, five strikeouts and one run during five innings, securing his eighth win (five losses) this season.
Hernandez didn't score another run until the top of the sixth. Pitching in the top of the fourth inning is very disappointing. Trailing 1-3, he was replaced by Jang Hyun-sik in the top of the seventh inning. He had a quality start with three hits, three walks, three strikeouts, and three runs in six innings, but became a losing pitcher due to his team's loss.
Lotte hit a double play in the top of the seventh inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases, and LG also created another opportunity to score with Shin Min-jae's second base steal in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and runners on the first base, but Moon Sung-joo struck out again.
Lotte sealed the game in the top of the eighth inning.
In addition, LG's overstretched walk became an opportunity. Reyes and Jeon Jun-woo got consecutive walks to make the first and second bases against Ham Deok-ju, who came up in the top of the eighth inning, and Yoon Dong-hee also got a straight walk from the changed pitcher Park Myung-geun to load the bases with one out and three walks without a hit. Information-geun struck out swinging, but Jeon Min-jae scored one point with a straight walk and Han Tae-yang scored two more points with a right-handed hit, making it 6-1 in an instant.
Lotte had only five hits on the day, but was able to score by walking nine. LG had seven hits, more than Lotte, but only got three four outs, and failed to chase after losing an early point.
