held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 9th,
allowing 4 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, 8 strikeouts, and 2 runs in 4 innings.

Afterwards, he struck out Hwang Jae-gyun with a missed swing using a cut fastball.
Ens continued his scoreless streak in the third inning with three strikeouts.
The 4th episode was a bit shaky.

but allowed a two-run home run to Kang Baek-ho in the middle of the month, allowing a run.
After giving up an infield hit to Jae-gyun Hwang, he struck out Kyung-soo Park to end the game.
Ens checked all pitches, including throwing 27 fastballs, 17 cut fastballs, 10 changeups, 9 curveballs, and 1 slider.
Ens, who played for the Tampa Bay Rays of the Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Seibu Lions of the Japanese professional baseball team,
signed a contract with LG for a total of $1 million in December last year.
LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop announced early on that Dietrick Ens would be the starting team for the opening game of the regular season.
