Seoul: Twins ace Yonny Chirinos showcased his resilience by delivering seven shutout innings against the Lotte Giants, leading the LG Twins to a 3-2 victory at Jamsil Baseball Stadium. The victory solidified the Twins' position at the top of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) standings with a record of 77-46-3. According to Yonhap News Agency, the Venezuelan right-hander, now 12-4 with a 3.32 ERA, avenged one of his worst performances of the season against the Giants just two weeks prior. Chirinos attributes his ability to move past tough games quickly to his success during his first season in the KBO. "Over the course of a season, you can have some good games and bad games. I've been trying to forget about bad outings as quickly as possible and keep my focus on the next game," Chirinos said through an interpreter. He emphasized the importance of maintaining focus despite the highs and lows of baseball. Chirinos blamed his previous poor outing against the Giants on the sweltering conditions that led to early fatigue. However, he acknowledged that adapting to such challenges is essential for success in Korea. He started his KBO career strong with a 1.67 ERA in his first seven starts but faced struggles in May and June before regaining form post-All-Star break with a 5-0 record and 2.59 ERA in eight starts. "It's good to start the season on a high note, but I think it's more important to finish the season well," Chirinos remarked, stressing the significance of perseverance through ups and downs. He also shared insights with closer You Young-chan, who nearly jeopardized Chirinos' win by allowing two runs in the ninth inning. Despite the tense ninth inning, Chirinos expressed confidence in You, encouraging him to trust his abilities and return stronger for the next game. While Chirinos has a personal goal of winning 15 games this season, he maintains that his primary focus is on the team's success. Chirinos, who signed with the Twins in November after a stint in Major League Baseball, has expressed his desir e to continue his career in Korea for several more years, citing his happiness and camaraderie with teammates.
