LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (58) bowed deeply to the fans who filled the home stadium over the weekend, expressing his sincere gratitude. He left a heartfelt confession from the team leader, acknowledging that the precious winning series was made possible thanks to the fans' passionate support.

On the 14th, LG secured a decisive 6-1 victory in a home game against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, in the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League'. The win came thanks to Shin Min-jae's clutch two-run hit in the bottom of the eighth inning and a stellar seven-inning performance by starting pitcher Im Chan-kyu. With this victory, LG once again achieved the winning series, fully demonstrating the dignity of the top-ranked team.

After the game, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop first praised the pitching staff for fulfilling their roles on the mound. Manager Yeom stated, "It was a game where the starter's role was extremely important, and Im Chan-kyu laid the foundation for victory with a perfect pitching performance as the starter." He applauded the ace pitcher, who earned his seventh win of the season with a seven-inning, one-run effort.

He also expressed gratitude for the bullpen's dedication. Manager Yeom noted, "Kim Jin-seong and Son Ju-young must have been physically exhausted from throwing multiple innings yesterday, but Kim Jin-seong fulfilled his role and recorded a hold. Especially, Son Ju-young navigated the critical moment in the eighth inning today, the most important point of the game, allowing us to secure the win." He added, "I want to praise Son Ju-young once again, who has been building trust as LG's closer recently," conveying his firm confidence.

In the lineup, focus shone at key moments. Manager Yeom said, "Moon Bo-kyung's tying two-run hit in the lineup allowed us to shift the overall momentum of the game in our favor." He continued, "After taking the lead, when additional runs were crucial, Shin Min-jae delivered two RBIs, and Hong Chang-ki and Austin contributed the necessary runs, enabling a perfect victory." He particularly praised the standout player, stating, "Hong Chang-ki led the entire lineup well with three hits and two RBIs, including the go-ahead hit."

Finally, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop bowed his head and turned his gratitude toward the LG fans who filled Jamsil Stadium. Manager Yeom said, "Thanks to the many fans who came to the baseball stadium over the weekend and cheered passionately, we were able to muster the strength to achieve the winning series. We sincerely thank the fans." He left behind a heartfelt message of appreciation.
