Ten teams have announced their starting pitchers for the opening day of the second half of the KBO season. There were also changes to the first team roster.
Doosan added ace Raul Alcantara to its roster on the 20th. Alcantara will start on the 21st against the Gwangju KIA. The game will be Doosan’s attempt to win 10 straight games. If Doosan wins, it will set a new record for the longest winning streak in a debut season for a Doosan manager and tie the record for the longest winning streak in a debut season for a Korean manager. It would also tie Doosan’s third-longest winning streak in the club’s history after 2008 and 2018.
KIA recalled Mario Sanchez. Sanchez made a big splash with his fake squat and double-kicking against KT Suwon on the 9th. KIA also regrouped at the end of the first half to become a dark horse. The team dropped infielder Hong Jong-pyo and pitcher Park Joon-pyo from the first team, and plans to bolster its line-up in time for the 21st game.토토사이트
