"It was the first game I've seen in my career."
LG Twins foreign pitcher Yoni Chirinos reflected on the excitement of the previous day's great victory. It was a drama that I had never seen in my 13 years as a professional.
Chirinos started Game 4 of the Korean Series against the Hanwha Eagles in the 2025 KBO League postseason at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 30th. Chirinos pitched six innings of one run. However, he was replaced in the bottom of the seventh inning when he was trailing 0-1. A twist has occurred. LG scored six points in the top of the ninth inning. Chirinos' good pitching also shone with a 7-4 come-from-behind victory.
Chirinos was the first game I've seen in my career. Our batters didn't give up until the end. I was moved by the way he kept trying. It was a game that showed why we are on this stage and why we are the team that is trying to win the championship," he said, expressing his pride.
He also did not forget respect for Hanwha's foreign pitcher Ryan Weiss, who faced off as a starter. Weiss blocked LG's batters with one run in seven ⅔ innings. LG was dragged 1-4 until the eighth inning. It wasn't until Weiss was replaced that the bat burst.
Chirinos said "TWICE also showed such an impressive pitch. I knew our batters had to deal with such a good pitcher. Unfortunately, he gave one run in the fourth inning, but he tried to prevent additional runs as much as possible. I wanted to create a situation where our batters attack a little more comfortably. Weiss continued to pitch well into the second innings, so I wanted to drag him as much as possible"I looked back.

I was not interested in personal records at all. Chirinos said "Team victory means more in the Korean Series. I don't feel sorry that I didn't become a winning pitcher at all. I'm satisfied just that the team came off the mound with their chances of winning."
LG led the series with three wins and one loss, leaving only one win to the combined championship. Chirinos, who played as a starter in Game 4, is a non-starter in Game 5. If it goes to Game 6 and Game 7, Lim Chan-kyu and Son Joo-young are expected to be selected in the rotation. Chirinos said he would prepare himself. The reporters asked if he could take the mound if the series continued. Chirinos replied simply and clearly in Spanish "Si(yes)".
