“It’s a good win to end the week.”
The nine-game road trip begins with a series in Luzhou. However, they ended the three-game series with a win.
The Lotte Giants won the final game of the weekend series against the SSG Landers 7-2 on April 18 at SSG Landers Field in Incheon.
They avoided a series sweep. They snapped a tough four-game losing streak.
Barnes pitched seven shutout innings to earn his fourth win of the season. Veteran Jeon Jun-woo led the offense with a 2-for-5 performance, including a leadoff solo shot, while Ahn Chi-hong followed with a 4-for-2 performance and one RBI. Han Dong-hee “Twins” Han (4-for-2, 2 RBI) and Yoon Dong-hee (5-for-3, 1 RBI) also had strong performances.
After the game, LOTTE head coach Larry Sutton said, “It was a good win to end the week. Barnes had an outstanding performance and earned a QS+,” he said.
“Our batters got on the board in the first inning with some good approaches. We did a good job of controlling the game.”
“It was a good way to start week two of our three-game series against SSG. “We didn’t finish yesterday’s game well, but we got the win today,” said Sutton. “We have a day off tomorrow, so we’ll reset and take the good momentum into next week.안전놀이터
