The two foreign starting pitchers for the LG Twins who were on the verge of being kicked out have recently been making a

comeback.

LG right-handed starting pitcher Casey Kelly (34) pitched a perfect game, not allowing a single batter to get on base until

the 8th inning in the home game against the Samsung Lions on the 25th, and achieved a shutout win without any walks.

Then, another foreign pitcher, Dietrick Enns (33), showed his strength.

Ens pitched 6 innings against Samsung on the 26th, allowing 3 hits, 1 walk, striking out 9, and leading the team to victory.

LG, which has recently been struggling with a lack of power due to injuries to key players, has regained second place by

defeating Samsung in succession thanks to the great performances of two foreign pitchers.

Kelly and Enns have been struggling together since the start of the season and are now in danger of being replaced.

Last month, LG general manager Cha Myeong-seok left for the United States to replace a foreign pitcher, and LG manager

Yeom Gyeong-yeop publicly announced that he would replace one of the 합법 two pitchers.

Kelly and Enns, who felt a sense of crisis, gritted their teeth and played hard early this month, and after showing signs of

slowing down, they regained their strength as the first half of the season neared its end.

LG's position is that it will not decide whether to accompany the two players based on the results of one or two games.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the home game against Samsung at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 27th, "The two

players seem to be competing well in good faith," adding, "I haven't given up (on whether to make a substitution)."

He also added, "I hope that the two players will play the game with the understanding that they can always be substituted,"

and "For now, we are looking at July 30 as the deadline for substitution."

Foreign players who enlist after August 15th cannot play in the postseason.

Assuming the player recruitment process takes about two weeks, a final decision on whether to replace a player must be

made by July 30th.

Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop hopes that the two players will continue to show their changed appearance until then.
