a one-point upset due to a series of errors. Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung asserted "The difference between weak and strong teams" The tone was unusually strong in August.
Lotte will play the third game of the week series against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd.
On the previous day, Lotte lost to KIA 5-6. Noh Jin-hyuk, Son Ho-young, and Jeon Jun-woo's relay shots exploded to lead 4-3 and 5-4, but they lost the game by giving up one point one after another in the bottom of the seventh and eighth innings.
In particular, Choi Won-joon, a scorer in the seventh inning, got on base due to Lotte second baseman Ko Seung-min's error. With Kim Do-young's hit, both runners reached the first and second bases with no outs. When Socrates hit a fly ball to left-center, both runners succeeded in tag-up. Center fielder Hwang Sung-bin's response to the third base, which was unable to catch a runner based on the situation in front of him, was not good. It was best to throw it to second base and block it with one out and runners on first and third bases.
Lotte Bench immediately removed Hwang Sung-bin and used Jang Doo-sung, but Na Sung-bum's sacrifice fly allowed the tie.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, he hit a double and wild pitch, making it two outs and third base, and gave up the winning run due to Son Ho-young's error when Park Chan-ho grounded out to third base.

However, in the process of giving up the tie in the seventh inning, about Ko Seung-min and Hwang Sung-bin "You shouldn't make such a mistake." raised his voice.
In particular, referring to Hwang Sung-bin, he is a fast-footed and good player. However, it is necessary to show such concentration when hitting or stealing bases in defense. The same play often comes out yesterday. You shouldn't give third base in that situation," he stressed.
Except for Reyes and veteran Jeon Joon-woo and Jung Hoon in the Major League, most of Lotte's batters are young players who have just played full time. It is inevitable to have difficulty maintaining similar concentration and performance throughout the season. In particular, sharpness in hitting stands out, but in defense, it often reveals lack of experience.

However, there was a change in the lineup after the briefing. Jung Hoon was put in place of Hwang Sung-bin.
The lineup consists of Yoon Dong-hee (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Reyes (right fielder), Jeon Joon-woo (left fielder), Na Seung-yeop (designated hitter), Jung Hoon (first baseman), Noh Jin-hyuk (striker), and Son Sung-bin (catcher). The starter is Charlie Barnes.
Lotte, which had a good momentum in August, missed a game that should not be missed. In particular, it was even more painful because it was a match against KIA that had been on a good track this season.
As for Park Se-woong, who has been struggling in recent years, "We need to supplement it in terms of ball mixing." conveyed his intentions.
