Lee Min-ho, a 'special rookie' of the LG Twins, expressed his first victory.
Lee Min-ho marked his first debut victory in the away Kyonggi against the Samsung Lions at Deagu Samsung Lions Park on Monday with a 5-1 inning, 1 Hit 4 walks and 2 strikeouts. He threw a fastball of up to 151km, a cut fastball, a curve, and a forkball, and put the Samsung Lions to rest.
Kim Yoon-sik (13 innings), Jung Woo-young (213 innings) and Lee Sang-kyu (1 innings) kept the victory by two points without a run. LG beat the Samsung Lions 2-0 to close three consecutive games in the week with two wins and one loss.
Lee Min-ho said after Kyonggi, "Yesterday, (Im) Chan Kyu-hyung told me how to prepare for the start, and before Kyonggi, he made it easier for catcher (Yu) Gangnam Lee to do well." Other seniors and coaches also said, "If you throw as you do well, you will not be able to Hit Hitters." Thanks to that, I was able to throw more comfortably at the Mound. "
"I really congratulate Lee Min-ho on his first debut win after Kyonggi, it's his first start and he threw too well. We also celebrate Kim's first hold and Lee Sang-kyu's first save, as our Bullpen Pitchers are doing really well with Ko missing due to injury. Chae Eun-sung's two-run homer in the final was good. "
