LG Twins are set to challenge for a series sweep against KT Wiz.

Ahead of their home game against KT in the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League' at Seoul Jamsil Stadium on the 20th, LG revealed its starting lineup. LG's batting order was arranged as follows: Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin Dean (designated hitter), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Song Chan-ui (left fielder), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Park Dong-won (catcher), and Hong Chang-gi (right fielder).

Compared to the lineup from the previous day (the 19th), LG made changes by swapping out the starting catcher and adjusting some defensive positions. The most notable change is the return of 'Home Queen' Park Dong-won as a starter. Instead of Lee Ju-heon, who started the previous game, Park Dong-won will start at the eighth spot as both catcher and designated hitter, forming a battery with starting pitcher Park Si-won.

Defensive position changes were also made for the cleanup trio. Austin Dean, who played first base the previous day, will now bat third as the designated hitter, focusing solely on hitting without taking defensive duties. In his place, Moon Jung-bin, who started as the designated hitter the previous day, will start at fourth spot as both first baseman and designated hitter, bolstering the infield defense.

The starting pitcher is Park Si-won. This season, he has appeared in 22 games with a record of two losses and no wins, posting an ERA of 3.98. In his previous start on the 15th against SSG Landers at Jamsil Stadium, he pitched four innings, allowing four hits (one home run) and one earned run, delivering a strong performance. Against KT this season, he has appeared three times over three innings; while he did not secure a win or loss, his ERA remained at 0.

LG, currently on a two-game winning streak and chasing the top spot, will be closely watched to see if they can achieve a series sweep against KT.
