The LG Twins is enjoying a record of seven consecutive wins since the opening of the league. The secret is that the starting lineup can easily handle seven innings.
Starting with the regular season opener of the KBO League against the Lotte Giants on April 22, LG won all seven games until the game against the NC Dinos on April 29. LG is leading the way by winning all seven games.토토사이트
The mound, hitting, and defense are in harmony, but the starting team's strong pitching stands out the most. LG's starting lineup's ERA is 1.50, the lowest among the 10 clubs. Son Joo-young won two games, and Yonny Chirinos, Elijah Hernandez and Lim Chan-kyu won one each. Song Seung-ki and Chirinos pitched well against Hanwha Eagles on the 27th of last month and NC on the 28th, respectively, with seven scoreless innings and two runs in six innings.
In particular, LG set a special record in which starting pitchers combined for 33 consecutive scoreless innings. After Chirinos had a two-run timely hit by Son Ho-young after one out in the fourth inning against Lotte on the 22nd of last month, the starting pitchers continued their "March of Zero" until Chirinos gave up a one-run timely hit to Matt Davidson after one out in the first inning against NC on the 28th.

A former MLB pitcher with 20 wins, Chirinos has successfully settled down in the KBO League. Based on fastballs with speeds of up to 151 kilometers per hour and various pitches, he allowed two runs in six innings for two consecutive games. He struck out 13 times during 12 innings. "The first foreign pitcher is important. The best harvest after the season's opening is Chirinos," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said.
Hernandez, who struggled hard in the postseason last year, has become stronger in his second year in the KBO league. Following the exhibition game (9 1/3 innings with no earned run), he allowed one hit, eight strikeouts and no run in seven innings against the Hanwha Eagles on April 25. "The foreign pitching staff consisting of Yonny Chirinos and Hernandez will be better than last year's Detrick Ens-Kelly," manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said.
After being labeled a promising player last year, Son became a winning pitcher in both games during the regular season. With an ERA of only 2.77, Son is growing into a left-handed pitcher representing the league as well as LG's starting lineup.
Veteran Lim Chan-kyu recorded 100 pitches in the match against Hanwha on April 26, marking his first complete victory in 15 years since his debut as a pro player. The ball is not fast, but he is aiming for a double-digit win for three consecutive years through his skillful game management. Left-handed pitcher Song Seung-ki, who won three gold medals in the Futures (second division) League last year, also received a passing score at the match against Hanwha on the 27th by allowing one hit and no run in seven innings.
LG's starting lineup has played a total of 48 innings in seven games, taking charge of nearly seven innings on average. Jang Hyun-sik, Yoo Young-chan, and Ham Deok-ju are clearly relieving the bullpen of injury. "I have the best starting lineup this year out of the three years I have been LG's manager," manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said smiling.
