The pro baseball LG Twins won the opening two straight victories thanks to the powerful pitching of new foreign pitcher Andrew Suarez.
LG won 3-2 with only 4 hits, such as Oh Ji-hwan and Yoo Kang-nam’s double hits, amidst Suarez’s strong hit in the 2021 Shinhan Bank’s SOL KBO League’s kt wiz visit game held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 6th.
LG Suarez, who debuted in the KBO League, won the decision against kt starter Audrey Samer Despine in his second year.
Suarez, a left-handed pitcher, was a winning pitcher by blocking the kt’s batting line with no run-off, recording 9 strikeouts in 6 innings, using a fast ball of 150 km/h, a sharp slider, and a two-seam.
He allowed two walks, but only one hit was hit.
Despine was also struggling with 5 strikeouts up to the 7th inning and struggling with 3 hits and 2 runs, but unfortunately used a yoke of defeat.
In the beginning of the third inning, when Jung Joo-hyun hit a right-handed hit and went out, Oh Ji-hwan called in a double on the right wing and picked the first point.
In the continued 3rd base, Hong Chang-gi brought in runners with an infield ball and took the lead by 2-0.
In the beginning of the 8th inning, Yoo Kang-nam hit a double in the middle and right, and then ran 3-0.
At the end of the 8th inning, kt picked up a walk by the assigned team, followed by Cho Yong-ho with a left-hand double and Hwang Jae-gyun with a timely hit in the middle of the game.
However, Joilo Almonte struck a bottle and poured cold water on the 1st and 1st base.
LG finisher Ko Woo-suk started at the end of the ninth inning and finished the game with a three-sided retreat, finishing the second save of the season.
