The professional baseball LG Twins will face the KIA Tigers in the seventh match of the season at Jamsil Stadium on the 28th.

LG won 4-3 the previous day with a game-winning three-run home run by Park Dong-won and a decisive hit by Moon Sung-ju in the 8th inning. LG has risen to share first place with the Hanwha Eagles.

LG has announced the starting lineup of Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Austin (first baseman), Park Dong-won (designated hitter), Moon Sung-ju (right fielder), Cheon Seong-ho (third baseman), Gu Bon-hyeok (shortstop), and Lee Ju-heon (catcher) and Park Hae-min (center fielder).

Moon Bo-gyeong, who made two throwing errors in defense the previous day, has been excluded from the starting lineup. Park Dong-won will take the fourth position, and Lee Ju-heon will play as the catcher.

After the game the previous day, Manager Youm Kyoung-youb shared his thoughts on the victory, unusually mentioning Moon Bo-gyeong's errors. He said, "I want to commend the players for remaining focused until the end in two consecutive tight games. Moon Bo-gyeong could be hurt by today's mistake, but I hope he always remembers that he is growing as the pillar of the team and has a stronger mentality."

Cheon Seong-ho, who was traded from KT on the 25th, has been included in the starting lineup after just two games. On the 26th, he was a starter as a first baseman against his former team, KT, and on the 27th, he came in as a pinch hitter in the game against KIA. Today, he is starting as a third baseman.

Manager Youm Kyoung-youb mentioned the utilization plan for Cheon Seong-ho, saying, "When Moon Bo-gyeong plays as a designated hitter, he can start at third base for about two games a week." If Austin plays as the designated hitter, he can also fit in as a first baseman.

LG has announced Song Seung-gi as the starting pitcher. Song Seung-gi has recorded 8 wins and 4 losses with an earned run average of 2.57 in 14 games this season. Recently, he has had a better pace with 4 wins and 1 loss and an earned run average of 1.50 in the last 5 games. He played one game against KIA, achieving victory after pitching 5 innings with 2 earned runs.
