The LG Twins, showcasing perfect harmony between pitching and hitting, decisively defeated the Samsung Lions to secure back-to-back victories. Yeom Kyung-yeop (58), LG's manager, also smiled following two consecutive wins. He specifically congratulated Lim Chan-gyu for achieving his 100th career win, Austin Dean for setting a single-season home run record for the club, and Oh Ji-hwan for hitting his first multi-home run game of the season.

On the 13th, LG secured a decisive 13-5 victory over the Samsung Lions in an away game at Daegu Samsung Lions Park during the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.' With this win, LG firmly maintained its third-place position. Meanwhile, second-place Samsung saw its gap from the top team KT widen to two games.

Although LG initially lost momentum early in the game, it quickly turned the tide with explosive hitting. Down 0-2 after conceding an early two-run home run to Park Seung-gyu in the bottom of the first inning, LG tied the score in the top of the third on Song Chan-ui's two-run single that drove in two runs. This was followed by Shin Min-jae's go-ahead single and Park Hae-min's sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Austin Dean then hit a three-run home run (his 39th of the season), completing a massive five-run inning.

The offensive firepower did not stop. In the fifth inning, LG extended its lead with consecutive RBI hits from Shin Min-jae and Park Hae-min. Oh Ji-hwan then added a solo home run in the seventh inning and a crucial two-run homer in the eighth, completely crushing Samsung's comeback hopes. On the mound, starting pitcher Lim Chan-gyu held strong, building his career milestone of 100 wins (14 this season).

After the game, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop commented, "We fell behind after conceding the first run, but Song Chan-ui's tying two-run single, Shin Min-jae's go-ahead single, Park Hae-min's additional RBI, and Austin's three-run home run allowed us to create a big inning and shift the overall momentum of the game in our favor."

He also praised the hitting lineup that swung the "bat of fire." Manager Yeom said, "Including the go-ahead hit, Shin Min-jae recorded three hits and two RBIs. Austin set a club record with 39 home runs in a single season, and Oh Ji-hwan hit back-to-back home runs for the first time this season, leading the entire lineup." He expressed satisfaction with their performance.

He also offered encouragement to starting pitcher Lim Chan-gyu, who achieved a major milestone: "Lim Chan-gyu fulfilled his role as a starter excellently. Congratulations on reaching 100 career wins."

Finally, Manager Yeom expressed gratitude to the fans who filled the away stands. He said, "Many of our fans came to support us at today's away game. Thanks to their passionate cheering, the players were able to maintain focus and repay them with a victory. Thank you very much."
