The professional baseball LG Twins will face the Lotte Giants in their fourth matchup of the season on the 21st at Sajik Stadium.

LG achieved a dominant victory of 17-9 with 12 hits and 13 walks caused by the Lotte pitchers' control difficulties the previous day. LG is currently in first place, two games ahead of the second-place Hanwha Eagles.

LG's lineup for the day includes Moon Sung-joo (left fielder), Kim Hyun-soo (first baseman), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Song Chan-eui (right fielder), Koo Bon-hyuk (shortstop), Park Hae-min (center fielder), and Lee Young-bin (second baseman).

LG adjusted its first team roster for the day, sending infielder Kim Joo-seong to the second team and calling up pitcher Lee Ji-kang to the first team. This is to reinforce the bullpen.

In the previous day's game, Seong Dong-hyun, who pitched in the sixth inning with a lead of 14-2, allowed 4 runs on 3 hits and 1 walk without recording any outs, while Kim Yoo-young allowed 2 runs on 3 hits without recording any outs as well. Ultimately, the reliable pitcher Park Myung-geun came in to handle the crisis.

Lee Ji-kang made an emergency start against KIA on April 26, struggling with 3 innings, allowing 8 hits and 6 runs, and was sent down to the second team the next day. After being sent down, he pitched as a starting pitcher, recording 1 win with an earned run average of 1.10 in 3 games.

LG's starting pitcher is Lim Chan-kyu. He has recorded 7 wins and 1 loss with an earned run average of 1.99 in 9 games this season, ranking 3rd in both wins and earned run average.

His pacing and control have risen to a level described as 'baseball master.' He throws 'black magic' with fastballs in the low 140s, curves, changeups, and sliders. Notably, he has achieved 3 wins and an earned run average of 0.95 in 3 games in May.

Meanwhile, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop is one win away from his 600th career victory with the previous day's win. If LG adds another victory, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop will become the 12th manager in KBO history to achieve 600 wins.

Among active managers, he will be the 3rd to achieve 600 wins, following Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon and Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung.
