At the home game against KIA in Jamsil on the 10th, LG's starting lineup was composed of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Moon Sung-joo (designated hitter), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman).
The nine starters are the same as the previous day, but the center batting line has changed. Kim Hyun-soo, who has played as a built-in third, came down to sixth, and Austin will play as a third hitter for the first time since coming to LG last year. He was in charge of the 4th Munbo game, and Park Dong-won was placed in the 5th.
Kim has a batting average of 288 (93 hits in 323 at-bats) and seven homers and 45 RBIs this season. He had a good batting average of .323 until April, but fell to .262 in May, rebounded slightly to .278 in June, but fell into a slump of .188 (3 hits in 16 at-bats) in four games in July.
LG also lowered Lee Ji-gang to the second division and registered Jung Ji-heon to the first division.
Yang Hyun-jong is the starting pitcher for Kia on the day. Yang Hyun-jong is 6-3 with a 3.91 ERA in 16 appearances this season.
He played in one game against LG. He started in Gwangju on June 18 and became a winning pitcher with an 11-4 victory, allowing seven hits, two walks, two strikeouts, and three runs in five innings.
At that time, he felt an elbow problem in the top of the fifth inning and was replaced after finishing the fifth inning, and he returned to the game against Daegu Samsung on the 4th, recording five hits (two home runs), one walk, five strikeouts, and three runs in five innings.
