The LG Twins, which had been struggling, rose back to first place. It recently won six consecutive games against the Samsung Lions and Kiwoom Heroes. First place alone, beating Hanwha Eagles.
He is No. 1 overall in May with nine wins and three losses in 12 games. Recently, closer Jang Hyun-sik, setup man Kim Kang-ryul, and top hitter Hong Chang-ki have continued to win consecutive games despite injuries, showing the side of a strong team.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `You held out really well.' There was a reason. This is because I always met with the first and second starters of the opposing team.
Yeom always faced the first and second starters against the teams he met in May. I met all of them without avoiding the first and second starters"He said "And yet it's a great thing that I got a plus like this."
It was actually like that. In the three consecutive games against SSG Landers, they met Drew Anderson (1-2 loss), Kim Kwang-hyun (4-1 win), and Park Jong-hoon (12-4) in turn, and in the Children's Day series against the Doosan Bears from the 5th, they fought Cole Irvin (2-5 loss), Choi Won-joon (5-1 win), and Jack Rogue (2-5 loss). In the match against Daegu Samsung, which played three games for two days on the 10th and 11th, they faced Ariel Furado (5-4 wins), Denny Reyes (4-1 wins), and Choi Won-tae (7-4 wins), and in the three consecutive games against Kiwoom held from the 12th, they met Cho Young-gun (9-6 wins), Kenny Rosenberg (12-0 wins), and Ha Young-min (6-2 wins). Six foreign pitchers alone faced each other in 12 games. It was impressive that he recorded the best nine wins and three losses and a winning rate of 750 percent among the 10 teams.

Coach Yeom cited the starting lineup as the first reason for his good performance. LG starters fought well against the opponent's good starting pitcher. `First of all, our starters held out well, so it was a tight match.' `Even if the opponent's first and second starters came out, our fourth and fifth starters held out, so we were able to play"
In 12 games, the only case in which LG's starting pitcher failed to last five innings was Choi Chae-heung, a substitute starter, throwing four innings against Doosan on the 7th. He pitched more than five innings in the remaining 11 games. The quality start was 7 times, the most along with Lotte among the 10 teams.
Here, the surviving lineup made the victory. LG's team batting average in May was 273, ranking third overall. He scored 5.75 points per game, ranking second on average after the NC Dinos (6.67 points). He also showed off his slugging capability by hitting the most 13 home runs.
He also has to meet the first and second starters in the three consecutive games against KT this weekend. Oh Won-seok will play in the first game of the doubleheader on the 17th and William Cuevas will take the mound in the second game. And on the 18th, Emmanuel de Heysus comes out. LG will also face KT with Son Joo-young, Koen Win, and Yonny Chirinos. To maintain the recovered first place, we need to catch the opponent's first and second starters. That's why LG, which has no finishing touch, has no choice but to lean more on the starting line.
