On the 19th, the previous day, Lotte, which failed to attack the LG Twins' new foreign pitcher Anders Tolhurst and lost 2-5 and lost nine consecutive games (including one draw), will meet a scarier pitcher this time. It's Son Joo-young, who is 'Lotte Killer'.
In the match against LG held at Jamsil on the 20th, Lotte put forward Na Kyun-an, while LG announced Son Joo-young as its starting pitcher.
Na Kyun-an is 2-7 with a 4.06 ERA in 23 games this season. He lost only one game in five games in the second half, but had a stable ERA of 3.14. He took the mound once against LG. On May 21, he had eight hits (two homers) and four runs (three earned) in five innings in the Busan game (7-7 draw).
It is important how much Na Kyun-an blocks LG's batters, but it is more important whether Lotte's batters will be able to target Son Joo-young. This is because he failed to destroy Son Joo-young properly this year.
Son Joo-young is 9 wins, 6 losses and a 3.38 ERA this season, and will try to win his first 10 wins in this game. After winning his ninth win against Jamsil KT on July 30, Son Joo-young, who failed to win against Doosan (two runs in five innings) on the 5th and Hanwha (two runs and one earned run in six innings) on the 10th, will try for the third time in 10 wins.
Since it is the game against Lotte with the best relative performance, it is evaluated as the best condition to achieve 10 wins this time.

Son Joo-young, who became the winning pitcher with one hit and no runs in seven innings against Lotte (10-2 victory) in Jamsil on March 23, the first game of the season, also recorded five hits and no runs in six innings in the Busan game (0-3 loss) on July 3, but was not supported by the batters. On July 18, he became the winning pitcher again with seven hits and one run in six innings at Jamsil Stadium (2-1 victory).
It is on the rise in the second half of the year. Son Joo-young, who had 7 wins, 6 losses and a 4.15 ERA in the first half, has two wins, no losses and a 1.19 ERA in five games in the second half.
Lotte has faced the biggest wall in the crisis of losing 10 consecutive games. Lotte changed its entry for the game on the 20th to change the atmosphere. Yoon Dong-hee and Hong Min-ki, who have been sluggish recently, were excluded from the first team, and Na Seung-yeop and Choi Jun-yong were placed in the first team. And Na Seung-yeop was immediately listed in the starting lineup as No. 7-1 baseman.
The starting lineup was composed of Han Tae-yang (second baseman), Son Ho-young (designated hitter), Ko Seung-min (right wing), Reyes (left wing), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Kim Min-sung (third baseman), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Lee Ho-joon (striker), and Hwang Sung-bin (middle fielder).
