On the last day of the three consecutive games during the week against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 1st, LG formed the starting lineup of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Park Hae-min (center fielder), and Kim Bum-seok (first baseman).
On the previous day, LG won 11-5 with two wins and 11 scoreless innings in two games against LG this season, with all of its starters recording hits through active batting, including bringing down left-handed starter Lee Seung-hyun, who pitched well in the fifth inning.
The first day was a match between a foreign ace and a left hand 'Killer' the day before, while the third day was a match between a veteran. Lim Chan-kyu (32) of LG and Baek Jung-hyun (37) of Samsung will start.
Lim Chan-kyu has a 4.35 ERA with 6 wins, 4 losses and 1 hold in 16 games this season. In the match against Samsung, he took the mound once and failed to record a win or loss.
On April 23, he allowed six hits, no four outs, four strikeouts, and three runs in five ⅓ innings in Daegu. At that time, he pitched a scoreless pitch until the fifth inning and LG was leading 3-0, but he was replaced when it collapsed in the bottom of the sixth inning, and Lee Woo-chan, who took the mound afterwards, continued to give up points to Samsung and suffered a 3-7 defeat.
Baek Jung-hyun has 2 wins and 2 losses with a 4.33 ERA in seven games this season. Last year, he pitched three times against LG and recorded three wins, no losses, and an ERA of 0.92, playing as a 'LG killer'.
Baek Jung-hyun pitched well once again this season against LG. He took the mound in Jamsil on March 26 and allowed five hits and five walks in five ⅔ innings, but allowed only two runs. At that time, the game was lost 3-4, but Baek Jung-hyun did his part as a starter.
