LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (58), who has made an unconventional lineup for two consecutive days, worked again. On the other hand, SSG Landers, who had been agonizing over replacing the lineup until the end, had mixed feelings between the two teams with four consecutive losses.

LG beat SSG 4-3 in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season home game held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 11th.

As a result, LG, which won six consecutive games, tied for first place with KT Wiz, who won against the Doosan Bears on the same day, with 8 wins and 4 losses. On the other hand, SSG, which lost four consecutive games, confirmed the luge series and fell to 7 wins, 5 losses, and 4th place.

Before the game, head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "Both of them have a lot of strikeouts because they put Park Hae-min in the starting lineup between Oh Ji-hwan and Park Dong-won, who have long balls. There should be a batter with contacts in the middle. "We need a batter with contact to solve it when there is a chance or a third base with one out," he said. And the idea hit the mark in the second half of the game.

The match was in the bottom of the eighth inning when LG was losing 2-3. Oh Ji-hwan's ball at first base with no outs became a Texas hit that fell between center fielder, right fielder and second baseman. Here, Park Hae-min wiped out the runner with a two-run timely double on the right field line for the first pitch. Park Hae-min was out after trying to reach third base, but he was full of smiles.

Later, LG's victory was confirmed in the top of the ninth inning when Kim Jae-hwan's final hit was caught in front of the fence with two outs.

In the selection fight, SSG won by decision. SSG Kim Gun-woo achieved his first quality start (more than six innings and less than three earned runs) with four hits and three outs (two walks) in six innings (95 pitches). In addition, the previous record was 5 innings against the KIA Tigers in Incheon on September 23, 2025 and 95 pitches against KIA in Incheon on March 29, 2026.

LG's Lim Chan-kyu played a minimal role by allowing 10 hits, two walks, two strikeouts and two runs in five innings (92 pitches). Thanks to the performance of the batters, they avoided defeat. Moon Sung-joo relieved Lim Chan-kyu's burden with two hits and one RBI in four at-bats, Park Hae-min two hits in three at-bats, two RBIs and one walk, and Park Dong-won one run.

In the SSG lineup, Park Sung-han made three hits and two RBIs in five at-bats, and Cho Hyung-woo made three hits in four at-bats. Guillermo Herredia, Kim Jae-hwan and Ko Myung-joon each played multi-hit. However, their efforts were not rewarded for the team's defeat.

SSG Choi Jeong succeeded in playing in 2,400 games for the second time in KBO history with this game. Thirty-nine years, one month, and 14 days are the youngest ever to participate in 2,400 games. It was 39 years, eight months, and 14 days of Kang Min-ho (41), the previous record holder. LG Jang Hyun-sik also took the mound in the eighth inning and enjoyed the joy of his 60th 500th game in KBO history. Meanwhile, 23,750 full-capacity spectators entered Jamsil Baseball Stadium 20 minutes before the start of the game. LG's sixth home game this season is sold out.

On this day, LG's lineup consisted of Chun Sung-ho (third baseman), Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Austin Dean (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), Park Dong-won (catcher), Lee Jae-won (left fielder) and Shin Min-jae (second baseman). The starting pitcher is Lim Chan-kyu.

Against this, SSG formed a lineup of Park Sung-han (striker), Jihoon Choi (center fielder), Choi Jung (third baseman), Guillermo Herredia (left wing), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Ko Myung-joon (first baseman), Han Yu-sum (right wing), Ahn Sang-hyun (second baseman), and Cho Hyung-woo (catcher). The starting pitcher is Kim Gun-woo.

The initial momentum was with the away team SSG. In the top of the second inning, Cho Hyung-woo and Park Sung-han scored one run with consecutive hits even though Ahn Sang-hyun hit a double play on the first and second bases with no outs. LG also quickly balanced with Park Hae-min's double to left-center and Park Dong-won's sacrifice fly to right field with one out and one RBI. However, SSG did not easily hand over the atmosphere in the top of the fourth inning as Cho Hyung-woo doubled on the right-wing line and Park Sung-han reversed again with a timely RBI in right-center.

On the mound, Kim Gun-woo poured cold water on the LG dugout with a stable performance. Kim Gun-woo struck out three consecutive batters with his outstanding control over the strike zone in the first inning.

He showed excellent crisis management skills that allowed him to get on base steadily but did not lose points. With two outs in the fourth inning, he gave consecutive walks to Park Hae-min and Park Dong-won and grounded out Lee Jae-won. He succeeded in his first quality start of his career by making a three-out inning, including a double play in the fifth inning and Oh Ji-hwan's three-ball strikeout in the sixth.

SSG took another point ahead. Kim Jae-hwan sent Woo Kang-hoon's real pitch out of the right-center fence in Jamsil with one out in the top of the seventh inning. LG also recovered a point. In the bottom of the seventh inning, leadoff hitter Park Dong-won walked to get on base. Shin Min-jae's ground ball was ruled out while advancing Park Dong-won's second base. The decision was reversed in the subsequent video review of LG's request, making it 1st and 2nd bases with 1 out.

Chun Sung-ho made a ground ball in front of the pitcher, and Moon Sung-joo brought the third baseman home with a deep infield hit to shortstop. However, as Austin struck out swinging, LG only chased 2-3 times.

The home team finally turned the tables. In the bottom of the eighth inning, leadoff hitter Moon Bo-kyung succeeded in getting on base due to a catcher's strike not-out error. Oh Ji-hwan made the first and second bases with a Texas hit, and Park Hae-min hit the first pitch and hit a double on the right-field line to bring all the runners home. Closer Yoo Young-chan made his seventh save in the ninth inning while protecting LG's 4-3 victory with perfect pitching that allowed only one strikeout.
