The Lotte starting lineup, challenging for a third straight win, has been revealed.
The Lotte Giants are set to face the KT Wiz in the 7th matchup of the season on Oct. 10 at Suwon KT Wiz Park. This is the first game of a three-game weekday series.
Lotte, aiming for a third consecutive victory, has arranged the starting lineup against KT's left-handed starter Oh Won-seok, featuring Jang Du-seong (center fielder), Go Seung-min (designated hitter), Víctor Reyes (right fielder), Jeon Jun-woo (left fielder), Jung Hoon (first baseman), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Kim Min-sung (second baseman), Jeon Min-jae (shortstop), and Jeung Bo-keun (catcher). The starting pitcher is local ace Park Se-woong.
The first-team roster includes outfielders Lee In-han and veteran infielder Kim Min-sung, who replaced rookie outfielder Kim Dong-hyun and infielder Lee Ho-jun, who were removed the day before the game. Kim Min-sung was added to the starting list upon his call-up, while Go Seung-min, who has been struggling with his knee, will serve as the designated hitter.
