The Lotte Giants beat the LG Twins in a heat wave and won two consecutive games.

Lotte won the game against LG at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 3rd with 8-3 thanks to Son Ho-young's first three-run shot, wedge shot, and Ko Seung-min's final hit in the bottom of the seventh inning.

With the victory, Lotte has won two consecutive games, rekindling its hope for autumn baseball. On the contrary, LG, ranked second, lost two consecutive losses, losing the momentum to chase the leading KIA Tigers.

A game where there was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble. The match between the two teams was canceled a day ago due to a murderous heat wave. For the first time since the inauguration of the KBO League, it was decided to cancel the first-team game standard and cancel the heat wave. The weather in Ulsan was so hot, and due to the nature of artificial turf, the geothermal heat was so high that it was not possible to play.

In fact, the weather on the 3rd was not much different. Therefore, both Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung and LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop voiced their concerns about the safety of players and spectators, saying the cancellation is appropriate. However, KBO manager Huh Sam-young did not listen to the opinions of both coaches and pushed ahead with the game, saying the temperature felt lower than a day ago.

But the joy is also brief. Against Choi Won-tae, who showed difficulty, he had a chance to hit first and second bases with no outs in the second inning, where a triple play by Information Geun came out, putting a brake on the rise. The first triple murder in the KBO League this season.

LG took a chance at first and second bases with no outs in the fifth inning and got a full base chance with one out due to an error by opposing shortstop Park Seung-wook, but Shin Min-jae and Austin failed to take advantage of this chance and had to hit the ground.
