LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop emphasized the importance of the first game in July, highly praising the valuable victory achieved through "Bullpen Day" the previous day. He also announced a "super-strong lineup" strategy for the upcoming match against Kiwoom Heroes on the 2nd, keeping all bullpen pitchers on standby except left-handed pitcher Ham Deok-ju, who started as an "opener" in yesterday's game.

On the 1st, LG secured a decisive 10-4 victory over Kiwoom Heroes in an away game at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome, breaking their two-game losing streak. Facing Kiwoom with Alcantara on the mound, LG executed an unconventional "Bullpen Day" tactic by deploying left-hander Ham Deok-ju as an opener, which proved highly successful.

Ham Deok-ju cleanly pitched 2 scoreless innings, followed by Kim Jin-soo, Woo Kang-hoon, Kim Young-woo, Rios, Lee Woo-chan, Kim Jin-seong, and Son Ju-young, minimizing runs allowed. Meanwhile, the offense exploded with Austin Dean's multi-home run performance and Cheon Seong-ho's game-winning hit, dismantling the opposing ace pitcher.

Despite using many bullpen pitchers the previous day, manager Yeom has no intention of easing up if he wants to continue the winning streak. Ahead of the the 2nd game, manager Yeom stated, "Although we held Bullpen Day, we strictly limited pitch counts within safe limits, so no pitcher is overworked. Except for Ham Deok-ju who started and Lee Woo-chan who pitched on consecutive days, all bullpen pitchers will be on standby today. Players like Kim Jin-seong or Rios are expected to pitch one inning each when the game situation allows."

He added, "Rios and Son Ju-young will also remain on standby in the bullpen. Of course, since they pitched multiple innings yesterday, there may be some fatigue. If they appear today, they can rest for the the 3rd game. We have carefully calculated everything before deciding on their appearances."

Meanwhile, to secure a winning series, LG set its starting lineup against Kiwoom's starter Bae Dong-hyun as follows: Cheon Seong-ho (third baseman), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Song Chan-ui (right fielder), Moon Sung-ju (left fielder), Park Dong-won (catcher), Lee Young-bin (shortstop), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman). The starting pitcher will be Im Chan-gyu. Most importantly, having Im Chan-gyu pitch long innings is the best option.
