The LG Twins and the Samsung Lions' 2-3rd place showdown is interesting. A match between LG, which has to chase the first place, and Samsung, which tries to advance to the second place fight, not the third place fight.

On the first day of the 30th, the Samsung Lions won the foreign ace's match. While Samsung starter Connor Seabold became a winning pitcher with one run in eight innings, LG starter Detrick N.S. became a losing pitcher with five hits (two home runs), two walks, three strikeouts and four runs in six innings.

On the second day, the 31st, it is a match between the left-handed rookie ace. LG Son Joo-young and Samsung Lee Seung-hyun will come out. Coincidentally, both are strong against the opposing team.



Son Joo-young is 7-5 with a 3.48 ERA in 18 games this season. Currently, LG has the best ERA among the starters.

In the second half of the year, he is also playing the role of a domestic ace leading the team. He has a good record of 1.38 ERA with two wins and no losses in two games.



He has one win, no loss, and an ERA of 0.79 in two games against Samsung. I played my first game of the season on March 28 against Jamsil Samsung and had good memories. He recorded three hits, two walks, and three strikeouts in six innings, and the lineup exploded and won 18-1 to report his first win.

In the second game, on June 12, he allowed six hits (one homer), one walk, four strikeouts, and three runs (one earned) in five ⅓ innings. At that time, he came down with a 4-3 lead and met the requirements for a winning pitcher, but was reversed in the bottom of the seventh inning.



Lee Seung-hyun is 6-3 with a 3.58 ERA in 15 games.

In the game against LG, he is showing the strongest performance. He has two wins and zero ERA in two games. He didn't give up a single run in 11 innings.

In Daegu's game on April 24, he led the game to a 6-0 victory with six walks and eight strikeouts without a hit in five innings, and in Jamsil on June 27, he took the lead in a 2-1 victory with four hits, two walks and three strikeouts in six innings. The victory was Samsung's first victory against Jamsil LG. Previously, he was weak in Jamsil with one draw and four losses.

If you become a winning pitcher, you will naturally have a firm 'Killer' image. Will LG run away again or will Samsung chase more. It depends on the pitching of the two.
