Can the Hanwha Eagles avenge their loss from the previous day (9th) against the KIA Tigers? The starting lineup has been revealed.

Hanwha will face KIA in a 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park at 6:30 p.m. on the 10th.

Hanwha had won three consecutive games before losing 4-6 to KIA on the previous day (9th), ending their winning streak. However, it was encouraging that they managed to score three runs in the 8th inning by attacking KIA's bullpen in the late stages of the game.

Hanwha sits in 5th place in the league with 30 wins, 1 draw, and 28 losses. They are now two games behind 4th-place KIA. This season, they hold a 2-5 record against KIA, putting them at a disadvantage. Meanwhile, they are being chased by the Doosan Bears, who are in 6th place alone, by a half-game margin.

For today's game, Hanwha set its starting lineup as follows: O Jae-won (center fielder), Peraza (right fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Kim Tae-yeon (first baseman), Heo In-seo (catcher), Lee Do-yoon (second baseman), and Sim Woo-jun (shortstop).

Hanwha's starting pitcher is Owen White. White has appeared in five games this season, recording 2 wins, 2 losses, and an ERA of 3.04. This is his first time facing KIA this season.

Before the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon commented on the team's late-game chase in the previous match: "Fans are always behind us. While it would be better to come back and win than to end the game in a draw, it was good to see them chasing hard until the end so that fans could leave with only a slight sense of regret after enjoying the game."

Meanwhile, KIA set its starting lineup against Hanwha as follows: Park Jae-hyun (left fielder), Kim Min-gyu (center fielder), Kim Do-young (designated hitter), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Adellin (first baseman), Kim Kyu-sung (second baseman), Byun Woo-hyeok (third baseman), Kim Tae-gun (catcher), and Park Min (shortstop). Their starting pitcher is Shirakawa.
