Lim Chan-gyu (32) dedicated the shutout to his father in heaven.

LG's starting pitcher Lim Chan-kyu pitched nine scoreless innings for the first time since his debut, leading the team to victory. He pitched just 100 pitches in nine innings, allowing two hits, two walks and five strikeouts.

After the game, Lim Chan-kyu said, "I wanted to try the shutout at least once. The coach said it was a good opportunity, and I said I wanted to try it. My heart beat at the fans' chants."

"I also talked with my coach before I took the mound in the ninth inning. I asked him to think about it (so that I can try the shutout)." However, I tried to see the situation of the runner. In the last minute, Moon Hyun-bin's ball and Esteban Floral's ball came into my glove. Some of my teammates said he was like a goalkeeper, trying to catch all the balls."

Lim Chan-kyu said, "I think it will be a meaningful and lifelong memory. Of course, I didn't go in with the idea of closing the shutout, but I got a good result. I'm happy to give a shutout to the fans who supported me," he explained.

Lim also made reporters laugh with his unique remarks. "If I achieve the shutout, I would like to have a ceremony face to face with (Park) Dong-won (who did a good job of mixing balls). However, I ended up with Austin Dean (laughing). (I don't mean it's bad.) Austin also gave a big cheer," Lim said, making reporters laugh.

Lim showed off his fastball skills in his early career. However, after undergoing surgery through many pitches, he has grown into a pitcher who boasts pin point control as his strength. Lim said, "Each pitcher has different things that he wants. There are pitchers who feel rewarded for their fastball and pitching capabilities, and there are pitchers who feel rewarded when they set good records. In my case, I feel rewarded when I see myself develop."

Finally, when asked who he wanted to attribute the shutout to, Lim Chan-kyu added, "My sister and mother who came today and supported me. And I want to give the shutout to my father in heaven."
