The LG Twins turned on the green light to build the No. 1 spot after overcoming the initial crisis.

Last year, KIA Tigers and Kiwoom Heroes, which were particularly weak, continued their upward trend by leaving a winning series.

LG sought to win the regular league for the second consecutive year last year, but finished third, 11 games behind No. 1 KIA (87 wins, 2 draws and 55 losses), with 76 wins, 2 draws and 66 losses.




It was overwhelmingly behind KIA with 3 wins and 13 losses, and the biggest reason was that it remained 6 wins and 10 losses for Kiwoom, the last place.

LG could have won the championship if it had a winning rate of about 50% with KIA and a winning rate that was the opposite of Kiwoom.

Strangely, the game didn't work out well against KIA and Kiwoom.




So when LG was on a roll at the beginning of this season, the schedule to meet KIA and Kiwoom from the 4th seemed dangerous.

However, it was different this year from last year.

On the 4th, LG's 5th starter Song Seung-ki and KIA veteran Yang Hyun-jong met in Jamsil KIA match, and LG won the game 8-2.




Song Seung-ki lasted five innings by minimizing runs in the early crisis, and LG took a 4-2 lead by targeting Yang Hyun-jong and scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to decide the game.

The game was canceled due to rain on the 5th, and the day game on the 6th was a showdown between Chirinos and Oler's foreign ace. While Chirinos showed a sense of stability with one run in seven innings, Oler scored four runs (three earned) in six innings, and LG won the starting fight, blocking KIA's batting line-up in the end, winning 5-1. Last year, LG was often overturned by KIA at the last minute, but Jang Hyun-sik, who came from KIA, neatly blocked it and dispelled such worries. Winning with two wins in the first three consecutive games against KIA.

If it passes the match against Kiwoom well, it could be the icing on the cake for LG.

In the first game against Kiwoom on the 8th, starter Son Joo-young showed a good pitching of one run in seven innings and a 13-1 victory thanks to the strength of the batters who scored a large number of 10 points until the third inning.

However, he was defeated by Kiwoom starter Rosenberg on the 9th. Rosenberg silenced LG's batters with four hits, one walk, and 13 strikeouts in eight innings, marking the birth of 'LG Killer'.

LG starter Hernandez allowed four runs with three home runs. In the end, he couldn't use his power properly and hit 0-4. It was LG's first scoreless loss of the season.

If the game is lost on the 10th, it will be the first looting series for LG and will lose for the first two consecutive games. If it was beaten by Kiwoom, who was considered the last-place candidate this season, the atmosphere could have fallen.

Lim Chan-kyu won the match between Lim Chan-kyu and Ha Young-min, the domestic ace. Lim Chan-kyu became a winning pitcher with five hits (one home run) and one run in seven innings, and LG's batters scored three runs against Ha Young-min in the second inning with Song Chan-ui's final three-run shot and Song Chan-ui and Koo Bon-hyuk's timely hits in the fourth inning to lead 6-0, eventually winning 7-3. He made the Winning Series 2-1 by avenging his lethargic defeat the previous day.

KIA, which was worried, showed an upward trend of 4 wins and 1 loss against Kiwoom, getting out of last year's pain.

Until the 10th, he is in first place with 12 wins and 2 losses and a winning rate of 857 percent. He is three games ahead of the second-place Samsung Lions (10 wins and six losses). And from the 11th, he will play the first three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears in a home with seven wins and no losses. Song Seung-ki, Chirinos Son Joo-young is in the order of taking the mound.
