The LG Twins beat the SSG Landers, who are tied for first place, and won six consecutive games. How did the head coach think he could turn it around.

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.

It was a backlog in both the selection fight and the firepower. SSG Kim Gun-woo (24) 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, it was a new record for the most innings by an individual, a tie for the number of pitches, and a life pitch (the best pitch of his life).

LG's Lim Chan-kyu somehow managed to survive by allowing 10 hits, two walks, two strikeouts and two runs in five innings (92 pitches). After that, Kim Jin-sung (1 scoreless inning), Woo Kang-hoon (1 scoreless inning), Jang Hyun-sik (1 scoreless inning), and Yoo Young-chan (1 scoreless inning) minimized the number of runs, setting the stage for a come-from-behind victory.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop did not forget this ball. Coach Yeom said after the victory, "Im Chan-kyu played his role well as a starter," adding, "The most important point is that our winning team, Kim Jin-sung, Woo Kang-hoon, and Jang Hyun-sik, minimized additional runs and created a foothold for victory."

Closer Yoo Young-chan, who took the mound six times in the last eight days and made all of his saves, took care of it separately. Yoo Young-chan has been in the lead in the save king race by making seven consecutive saves until this day after becoming the losing pitcher for the first time. Coach Yeom said, "Yoo Young-chan, the No. 1 save, was able to win by giving a clean finish even in a tough situation."

LG's batting line, which had only four hits until the sixth inning, only burst after Kim Gun-woo went down. After Park Dong-won's walk and Shin Min-jae's groundout on base in the bottom of the seventh inning, Chun Sung-ho's walk made the second and third bases with two outs. Here, Moon Sung-joo made a deep infield hit on the shortstop's side, raising the chase atmosphere.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Park Hae-min turned the game around with a double on the right-wing line in the first and second bases, which were made by the opponent's error and Oh Ji-hwan's right-center hit. Park Hae-min seemed to bunt after being instructed to bunt, but after checking the shortstop's position, he went out to the strong field and made the winning hit.

Coach Yeom said, "It was a game in which the batters were dragged without bursting at the beginning of the game. However, Moon Sung-joo's RBI single in the seventh inning allowed us to bring the flow toward us. In addition, Park Hae-min hit a timely two-run hit with a fake bunt and slash in an important situation. Park Hae-min's captainial performance allowed me to win today's game," he praised.

On this day, 23,750 full-capacity spectators entered Jamsil Baseball Stadium even in chilly weather. LG's sixth home game this season is sold out. Coach Yeom said, "Captain Park Hae-min led the lineup with two hits and two RBIs. "I want to praise the players who focused until the end and made a come-from-behind victory," he said. "Thanks to the passionate support of the fans, I was able to win the come-from-behind victory with a good game today. Thank you," he said.
