The LG Twins caught Yang Hyun-jong of KIA Tigers 'Great Pitcher' with Song Seung-ki as the 5th starter.

LG won 8-2 against KIA in the '2025 KBO League' held at Jamsil Stadium on the 4th. LG lost consecutive games after the opening seven consecutive wins, but started the game again with two consecutive wins.

Song Seung-ki won the starting match against Yang Hyun-jong. Song Seung-ki earned his second win of the season by allowing two runs in five innings. Yang Hyun-jong lost five innings with four runs without receiving defensive help. Yang Hyun-jong was on the verge of his second 180th win in KBO history, but he cried in the ninth inning as he was held back for six games in 179 wins.




LG's batters, including Hong Chang-ki (2 hits from 4 times at bat), Austin (2 hits from 2 times at bat, 2 walks and 4 points), Moon Bo-kyung (2 hits from 3 times at bat, 4 RBIs) and Kim Hyun-soo (3 hits from 4 times at bat) were evenly active. KIA Choi Hyung-woo made 3 hits in 4 at-bats to build the first 4,200-base tower in KBO history, but the team's defeat faded.

KIA scored the first run in the top of the first inning. Leadoff Lee Woo-sung hit the right field. After Wisdom stepped down with a fly ball to center field, Na Sung-bum walked. Choi Hyung-woo succeeded in hitting a ground ball to the first base. With two outs and runners on the second and third bases, Byun Woo-hyuk hit a timely two-run left-handed hit.

LG immediately balanced it in the bottom of the first inning. It benefited from KIA's shaky defense, which was not recorded as an error.




Two outs later, Austin walked out. Moon Bo-kyung's ball stretched behind center field. KIA center fielder Choi Won-joon followed the ball well. It seemed like a good rain, but the ball that almost went into the glove was not caught. While Austin scored and the home game was played, Moon Bo-kyung went to third base. With two outs and a third base, Kim Hyun-soo called in Moon Bo-kyung with a hit in the left-center field.
