The professional baseball LG Twins will face off against the NC Dinos on the 19th at Seoul's Jamsil Stadium.

LG secured a walk-off victory of 9-8 in a slugfest the previous day, with both teams exchanging 24 hits and 17 walks. Starting pitcher Chi-rinos allowed 6 runs before being substituted after 2 outs in the 5th inning. The bullpen, including Jang Hyun-sik, Kim Jin-sung, Lee Ji-kang, and Yoo Yeong-chan, all made appearances as they fought hard for the win.

Manager Youm Kyoung-youb remarked before the game on the 19th at Jamsil Stadium, "Everyone in the bullpen will rest. Closer Yoo Yeong-chan will rest, and Jeong-yong will also rest. Since we can't have consecutive appearances. Jin-sung and Hyun-sik will also rest, all four of them."

Kim Jin-sung and Jang Hyun-sik pitched consecutively on the 17th and 18th. A third consecutive appearance is challenging. Closer Yoo Yeong-chan, who returned in early June after rehabilitation from elbow surgery, and Lee Jeong-yong, who registered with the first team immediately after his discharge on the 17th and pitched one scoreless inning on the 18th, will refrain from consecutive appearances for the time being.

Manager Youm stated, "Group A will all rest, and today we need to proceed with Group B," indicating that Park Myeong-geun, Kim Young-woo, Lee Ji-kang, and others must take responsibility for the latter part of the game.

Manager Youm remarked, "Our foreign pitchers have created bullpen days for two days in a row, so we originally intended to have a bullpen day today, but thanks to our first and second starters creating bullpen days for two days, the bullpen day has become difficult."

Hernandez was ejected in the game against NC on the 17th for throwing a headshot fastball at Park Geon-woo in the 2nd inning. Seven bullpen pitchers made appearances. In the game against NC on the 18th, Chi-rinos was unable to maintain a 3-0 lead and gave up a large number of runs.

However, after finishing the interview with reporters, Manager Youm Kyoung-youb noted that after consulting with the training staff and the players, Yoo Yeong-chan will be on standby for save situations, and he is expected to pitch depending on the game situation.

Meanwhile, LG's starting lineup includes Shin Min-jae (2nd base), Kim Hyun-soo (left field), Austin (1st base), Moon Bo-gyeong (designated hitter), Moon Sung-ju (right field), Gu Bon-hyeok (shortstop), Lee Ju-heon (catcher), Lee Young-bin (3rd base), and Park Hae-min (center field).
