6 points in the 3rd inning, Big innings → First starting win in debut, 'Frustrated'...Lee Jung-yong, 27, who is frustrated

The batters created big innings from the beginning of the game. However, he missed his first start win in his life.

The LG Twins won a difficult 9-6 victory over the KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 27th.

With the victory, LG escaped from five consecutive losses and was the first to reach 50 wins of the season among the 10 KBO clubs this season. It is the first time in 28 years that LG has reached the 50-win mark since 1995.

However, Lee Jung-yong, who started on the same day, missed a golden opportunity to win his first starting victory since his debut. Lee Jung-yong was replaced after recording seven hits and four runs in four innings. LG, which was leading by two points at 6-4, but was losing five consecutive games, could not afford to consider Lee Jung-yong.

Lee Jung-yong, who had a lot of ups and downs this year. Last year, he passed Sangmu for the first time, but shouted 'one more year' due to the head coach's dissuasion.

Even before the season, Jung Woo-young and Park Myung-geun were scheduled to form a must-win group to protect the closer Ko Woo-suk. However, Ko Woo-suk, who played in the World Baseball Classic just before the opening, left due to a shoulder injury. Lee Jung-yong was selected as a temporary finish to fill the position.

But it was a hardship itself. In all three of his first save opportunities, he made blon saves. Since then, he has won three consecutive saves, but he added two blons again at the end of April, putting down the finishing position with a shocking report card of five blons for a month. The possibility of the Asian Games, which I thought might have been possible, has also been eliminated.

In late May, he left due to shoulder muscle pain, and in June, he passed the Armed Forces Sports Unit (Sangmu). As a result, he seems to have postponed his enlistment by one year.

Although he has three wins this season, the previous two wins are the wins he earned in April, when he finished including Blon once. The first win became a winning pitcher naturally as the batters reversed the game after losing one inning with the bullpen against Samsung in Jamsil on June 15. 토토

In his first appearance, he actually played the role of an opener with one run in two innings. After that, he went through the match against the KIA Tigers in Jamsil on July 2nd (59 pitches without losing a point in 3 innings) against Lotte in Busan on the 9th (six runs, five earned runs, and 58 pitches in 3 innings).

The match was a golden opportunity for Lee Jung-yong to win his first start. LG, which had been sluggish with five consecutive losses, led 6-1 with six points and big innings in the top of the third inning, as if it was trying to avenge its reversal loss in the 12th inning of extra time the previous day. KT replaced foreign pitcher Cuevas early in the fourth inning and entered a bullpen fight.

However, starting with KT Lee Ho-yeon's solo shot in the second inning, Lee Jung-yong faced a crisis repeatedly and gave up one point each. In the third inning, he induced the opponent's double play with no outs and runners on first and second base, but Bae Jung-dae hit a timely hit, and in the fourth inning, he allowed Kim Joon-tae a timely hit with one out and runners on first and second base.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop could no longer hold back when he allowed a hit to leadoff hitter Kim Min-hyuk with the start of the fifth inning. He came down to his first start win in his debut with three outcounts ahead.

"Lee Jung-yong is in a state of being able to play up to 90 pitches," said the manager of the game Jeon Jeom, expecting to pitch six innings. 64 pitches in four innings is also the highest number of pitches in his life. The highest fastball speed was 146km, but he failed to fill the fifth inning again.
