The LG Twins defeated the Kiwoom Heroes in a fiercely contested game and capped their three-game road series at Gocheok with a winning streak. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (58) also turned his gratitude toward the fans who visited Gocheok Sky Dome to watch the away games.

On the 2nd, LG secured a 7-5 victory over Kiwoom in an away game at Gocheok Sky Dome, located in Guro-gu, Seoul, as part of the "2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League." The hard-fought win, marked by multiple lead changes, was their valuable second consecutive victory and a series win. Despite trailing 7-5, closer Son Ju-young allowed back-to-back walks that created a bases-loaded, no-out crisis but managed to prevent any runs and recorded the save.

After the game, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop expressed relief, acknowledging that the three-game away series at Gocheok was far from easy. Manager Yeom stated, "The three-game road series against Kiwoom was extremely challenging, but I want to commend the players for maintaining their focus until the end and securing a winning series."

On this day, LG's batting lineup demonstrated sharp focus whenever needed to generate runs. Manager Yeom remarked, "Austin's home run kept our momentum going, Lee Young-bin delivered a crucial game-winning hit, and Park Hae-min added key RBIs in a situation where extra runs were desperately needed, allowing us to secure the victory." He praised the batters' instinct as problem-solvers.

On the mound, the pitchers displayed remarkable fighting spirit. Although starting pitcher Im Chan-gyu gave up five earned runs and struggled, he held on long enough to qualify for the win, while the bullpen kept the door shut with a scoreless performance. Manager Yeom also noted, "Starting pitcher Im Chan-gyu made several mistakes and faced a difficult game, but he fulfilled his role as a starter well."

He continued, "The most important factor was that our winning lineup—Kim Jin-su, Woo Kang-hoon, Rios, and Son Ju-young—all pitched on consecutive days. Despite the physical strain, they each handled their innings effectively, enabling us to secure the victory." He gave a thumbs-up to the selfless contributions of the reliable pitching staff who overcame physical limits to protect the team's win.

Finally, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop identified "the fans' cheers" as the driving force behind their ability to end the grueling Gocheok road series with a victory. Manager Yeom said, "Even though it was an away game, many fans came to support us, which allowed us to achieve a winning series. We are sincerely grateful." He extended his heartfelt thanks to the LG fans who filled Gocheok Dome.
