LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (58) expressed his gratitude to fans while celebrating two milestones: breaking a three-game losing streak, Carlos KARA Sco's (39) first win in the KBO League, and reliever Kim Jin-seong's (41) new record for most holds.

Under manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, LG secured an 8-3 victory over Kiwoom Heroes in an away game at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome on the 11th as part of the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League', overcoming a three-game losing streak with explosive offense and strong pitching.

On this day, LG's starting pitcher KARA Sco completed a quality start with six innings pitched, allowing five hits, striking out five batters, and giving up two earned runs. The second pitcher, Kim Jin-seong, allowed one run on two hits (including one home run) in one inning but accumulated his 178th career hold, setting a new KBO League record for most holds. In the lineup, Oh Ji-hwan went 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBIs, delivering powerful hits. Overall, LG hit eight total hits including two home runs, outpowering Kiwoom in an offensive battle.

After the game, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "Starting pitcher KARA Sco performed his role well. Congratulations on your first win," encouraging foreign pitcher KARA Sco on his first victory in Korea. He added, "Our relievers Kim Jin-seong, Woo Kang-hoon, and Son Ju-young played their roles effectively, allowing us to secure the win." In particular, he sincerely congratulated veteran Kim Jin-seong on breaking the record for most holds in the KBO League.

He also expressed satisfaction with the team's batting focus. Manager Yeom said, "In the early innings, Moon Bo-kyung and Moon Jeong-bin drove in runs that shifted the momentum of the game in our favor. After allowing an equalizer, Song Chan-ui immediately hit a go-ahead home run in the next inning, and Hong Chang-gi added more RBIs to take control. Oh Ji-hwan especially played a decisive role with two hits including a home run and three RBIs," praising the standout batters.

He also gave a positive assessment regarding recent concerns about batting form. Manager Yeom stated, "During the break, the hitting coach and players prepared very diligently. We are seeing gradual improvement in their performance, which gives us hope for the future."

Finally, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop bowed his head to the fans who filled the Gocheok Dome stands for the away game. He said, "Despite it being a weekday, many fans came to support us, and thanks to their encouragement, we were able to win. I am truly grateful." He concluded his post-game remarks with heartfelt thanks to the fans.
