Reserve starter Lee Sang-young pitched four innings of two-run ball in his 598th day on the mound to set the stage for the victory. The batsmen took advantage of their opponents’ mistakes to produce a three-run third inning to extend their winning streak. 먹튀검증
Yoo Young-chan (1 inning), Jung Woo-young (1 inning), Kim Jin-sung (1 inning), Park Myung-geun (1 inning), Ham Deok-ju (⅓ inning) and Baek Seung-hyun (⅔ inning) combined for five scoreless innings to secure the win. Baek Seung-hyun got out of a bases-loaded jam to record his first career save.
“We needed a run today and Hong Chang-ki and Kim Hyun-soo came through with important RBIs,” said LG manager Yoon Kyung-yeop after the game. “Most importantly, our six bullpen pitchers pitched five innings of solid baseball. In the last really tough situation, Baek Seung-hyun did a great job. I think it’s a step up for him. Congratulations on your first save,” he said.
Coach Yeom concluded his victory speech by saying, “I am grateful that so many fans came and supported us today, even though it was a weekday, so the players were able to gain strength and win.”
