The Samsung Lions and the LG Twins put up foreign pitchers side by side as starting pitchers in Game 4 of the professional baseball playoffs (PO, three wins out of five).
Samsung and LG named right-handed Denny Reyes and left-handed Detrick N.S. respectively as starting pitchers for Game 4 to be held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 18th.
Samsung, which suffered a blow in Game 3 after winning two consecutive POs, is determined to confirm its advance to the Korean Series with Reyes.
Reyes started in the first round of the PO on the 13th and pitched well in six ⅔ innings with four hits, two walks, one strikeout and three runs (one earned run).
Reyes, who had been selected as a starter in Game 4, initially had to take the mound after taking only three days off, but had a delicious four-day break thanks to the delay of the series schedule by one day due to the cancellation of Game 2 due to rain.
Reyes pitched twice against LG in the regular season, recording one win and a 3.60 ERA.
This is Reyes' first time on the mound at Jamsil Stadium.
Jamsil Stadium, which has a vast outfield, is pitcher-friendly, but the unfamiliar environment may be an unexpected variable.
Reyes, who was considered one of the best players in the first round, said in an interview at the time, "I have to play in any situation. I can throw enough in the fourth round of PO."
LG, which took a breather from the brink of the cliff, will take a blessing in disguise with ENCE, who took a break on the 8th.
ENS will take the mound in nine days after taking the mound in Game 4 of the semi-playoff (semi-PO) against the KT Wiz on the 9th. It is his first time to participate in the PO.
Originally, he was expected to be a starting pitcher in the second round of the PO, but his pitching schedule was pushed back due to the cancellation of rain.
It is an opportunity for Ence as a person to wash away his poor memories in the two semi-PO games. 먹튀검증
In the first round of the semi-PO, Ence lost the game with three runs (three earned) in five ⅓ innings, and in the fourth round, he collapsed with four runs (four earned) in three ⅓ innings.
He lost one game and had a 3.00 ERA in two games against Samsung in the regular season.
"It is true that we have been able to perform better as the starting schedule has been pushed back," Ence said. "We will meet the expectations of the team and fans."
