With LG Twins overcoming a 0-3 deficit in a thrilling comeback to secure their fifth consecutive victory, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop praised the team's intense focus and expressed deep gratitude to home fans who packed Jamsil Stadium.

On the 4th, LG defeated Samsung Lions at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium in a '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League' home game with a decisive four-run rally in the bottom of the 6th inning, winning 4-3. This victory allowed third-place LG to extend their winning streak to five games, closing the gap to second-place Samsung by just 3.5 games.

After the game, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop first commended the pitching staff for solidly holding the mound. Starting pitcher KARAisco pitched six innings, allowing six hits and three earned runs while recording three strikeouts, earning the win. Relief pitchers Kennedy (two scoreless innings) and Go Woo-seok (one scoreless inning) then secured the final outs to close out the game.

Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop stated, "Starting pitcher KARAisco fulfilled his role well, and in a tough one-run situation, Kennedy pitched two perfect innings, laying the foundation for victory."

He then turned to closer Go Woo-seok, who returned to his former team after attempting a Major League challenge, making his first appearance on a KBO mound after 1,078 days. "Woo-seok has returned after three years. Congratulations on achieving his 140th career save in the KBO and his first save in three years," he said, expressing both joy and congratulations.

He also highlighted the batting lineup's cohesion that capitalized on opportunities to turn the game around. Manager Yeom added, "In the bottom of the 6th, down 0-3, Song Chan-ui delivered a two-run hit to narrow the gap, Moon Bo-kyung hit a two-run tying home run, and Cheon Seong-ho hit the go-ahead home run, creating a big inning. I want to praise the lineup for making the most of just one opportunity."

Finally, Manager Yeom said, "Every game has been tough, but our players showed intense focus on winning and held on until the end. I want to commend the entire team. Thanks to fans who filled today's home game to capacity, we were able to overcome a difficult match and secure victory. We sincerely appreciate you."
