  • The Kiwoom Heroes baseball team is aiming to end a seven-game losing streak.
  • They are scheduled to play the KIA Tigers in a home game at Gocheok Sky Dome.
  • Pitcher Park Jun-hyun has been removed from the first team roster, with Wills expected to return and pitch 3-4 innings on Sunday.

The Kiwoom Heroes are looking to break their slump as they prepare to face the KIA Tigers in a home game at Gocheok Sky Dome on Tuesday. The team is currently enduring a challenging seven-game losing streak, having lost the previous day's match against KIA with a score of 3-7.

In a move related to player management, pitcher Park Jun-hyun has been removed from the first team roster. This decision is framed as part of the team's strategy for managing its rookie players. The team anticipates the return of pitcher Wills, who is expected to pitch approximately three to four innings on Sunday, potentially bolstering the team's pitching rotation.

The starting lineup for Tuesday's game includes Seo Geon-chang at second base, Im Byung-wook in center field, Hiura in left field, Kim Geon-hee as catcher, Park Chan-hyeok in right field, and Ahn Chi-hong as the designated hitter. Kim Woong-bin is also listed in the lineup. The team hopes this combination will provide the necessary spark to turn their fortunes around and secure a victory against the KIA Tigers.
