The second inning was the most dangerous. After 1 out, Kim Seon-bin got a right-handed hit on the 5th, but Hong Chang-ki, right fielder, couldn’t catch the ball properly, so Kim Seon-bin reached second base. Then, when Lee Chang-jin grounded in front of the third baseman in the 6th, third baseman Moon Bo-gyeong made a throw error, and one out, 1st and 3rd base. However, Lim Chan-gyu, who caught Byeon Woo-hyeok with a swinging strikeout, overcame the crisis by handling Hwang Dae-in with a grounder in front of the shortstop after a full count match.

At the end of the 3rd inning, after the 2nd, Ko Jong-wook’s 2nd ball flew to him, but he avoided it and showed a mysterious play where the ball was sucked into Dan’s glove.

In the bottom of the 4th inning, Hyung-Woo Choi got a hit, but he blocked it without adding an additional base, and in the bottom of the 5th, he lightly blocked it with a tripartite offense. In the bottom of the 6th inning, Ko Jong-wook got on base after one out due to a shortstop error, but he didn’t care and caught Socrates with a left field fly and Choi Hyung-woo with a shortstop fly. The number of pitches was only 72 until the 6th inning, so it came out in the 7th inning. First 7 appearances this season.

Kim Seon-bin, the leader, was allowed a left-handed hit, but Lee Chang-jin struck out, and Kim Gyu-seong, a pinch hitter, left fielder flew, and Hwang Dae-in struck out in the 8th to complete his task.

LG fans on the first base gave a standing ovation to Im Chan-gyu as he came down after the 7th inning. The fans also applauded Lim Chan-gyu generously, knowing that it was his last pitching of the day. Lim Chan-kyu also took off his hat and thanked the fans.

Lim Chan-gyu, who threw 87 balls, put the KIA line to rest with a maximum of 147km fastball (34), 116km curve (22), 130km changeup (21), and 135km slider (10). .

On this day, he became the winning pitcher and won his 5th win of the season. It’s an amazing result as a starter. He went 5-0 in 7 games and his earned run average went down to 1.19.

Lim Chan-gyu said, “I was in better condition today than last pitch,” and “(Park) Dong-won told me to throw with the same strength instead of sticking with power because my brother also has a good ball. said.

Lim Chan-kyu says he is ready to return to Long Relief anytime, but he said there have been some changes lately. It is responsibility. “I still throw with the same mindset I had when I first started camp, but I think my sense of responsibility on the mound has changed,” said Lim Chan-kyu. I throw it with a sense of mission.”
