GWANGJU (Interstat) — The LG Twins will visit the Kia Tigers on Saturday at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field in a matchup of two of the Korea Baseball Organization’s top clubs. LG enters with a 71-55-2 record, while Kia is 69-56-2. The forecast for game time calls for 71°F.

LG will look to Go Woo-suk out of the bullpen. Over his last four appearances, he has allowed no earned runs across six innings, yielding one hit and striking out nine. He threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings against Lotte, one scoreless inning against Hanwha, and combined for 3 2/3 scoreless innings in two games at NC. Go has been a reliable late-inning option for the Twins.

Kia will counter with Adam Oller, who has been effective in his recent starts. In his last outing, he worked six innings against Doosan, allowing two earned runs on six hits with two walks and three strikeouts. Before that, he tossed six scoreless innings against Kiwoom, scattering three hits with three walks and five strikeouts. Oller has given the Tigers length and a chance to win.

The season series has been tight. Kia has won the last two meetings, 4-2 and 5-4, after LG took the previous game 8-2. LG has won eight of the 10 meetings this season. Other results include LG wins of 8-2, 5-3, 3-1, 12-2, 2-1 and 7-2, plus Kia’s 14-0 victory.

LG dropped its most recent game to Lotte 6-4. Go Woo-suk, Jon Kennedy and Woo Kang-hoon each pitched scoreless relief in that loss. Kia fell to Doosan 3-2 in its last game. Oller started and allowed two earned runs over six innings, while Jeon Sang-hyun and Cho Sang-woo also pitched in relief.

LG has won seven of its last 10 games. Kia has won five of its last 10. After Saturday, LG will remain on the road for a series at Shinsegae Landers. Kia will host KT Wiz.

LG’s recent schedule includes wins against Hanwha, KT Wiz, NC Dinos and Samsung Lions, along with a loss to Kiwoom Heroes. Kia has recent wins against NC Dinos, Kiwoom Heroes, Hanwha and Shinsegae Landers, and losses to Doosan, Shinsegae, KT Wiz and NC Dinos. Both clubs have two ties this season.

Both clubs are in the playoff race. The Twins’ bullpen and Kia’s starting pitching are among the matchup’s key elements. The teams will continue the series after the Saturday contest at Champions Field.
