The LG Twins, which ranked first with 20 wins and 11 losses in March and April, also tied for first place in monthly performance with the Hanwha Eagles (15-10 losses) with 15 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses in May. The result is 1.5 games ahead of Hanwha.
In early May, he lost the top spot to Hanwha, but regained it with six consecutive wins against Samsung and Kiwoom, and since then, he has maintained the top spot without falling despite a series of injuries such as must-win groups and top hitters.
Looking back on May ahead of the match against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 1st, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Looking back on the month, I held up very well.'
Coach Yeom said, `The second starter (Hernandez) is out, and the three winning teams (Jang Hyun-sik, Kim Kang-ryul and Bae Jae-joon) are out. "Overall, the hitting sense was low, but Hong Chang-ki, who had a hitting sense, was injured. Five key players were missing, and considering that, I put up with it very well."
Nevertheless, LG ranked second overall with a team batting average of 265 and fourth overall with a 3.80 ERA, allowing it to rank first in May's performance.
Director Yeom said "Compared to 2023, it was the same until May. In 2023, it was plus four wins until April, plus 10 wins in May, plus 14 wins until May, but this year, it was plus nine wins until April, plus five wins in May, plus 14 wins"I think we can achieve our goal if we win five plus games every month."It's going as well as it was targeted.
Director Yeom said, `We have a meeting on the last day of every month. He said he did a great job to the players, clapped and did a great job"The injured are also doing well together amid many difficulties. The reason why we performed well in the midst of difficulties was because we all played together as a team. He did well in defense and defended the pitchers when they had to. It's because everyone did the basics well. And now it's only going to get better," he said, adding that he had positive things to say to the players.
Manager Yeom said that the key point of June was to fill the top hitter position, but he expected to fill the gap by playing evenly. Coach Yeom said, `It is difficult to fill the spot with our backup. (Park) Hae-min and (Shin) Min-jae are coming up little by little, but what's important is whether (Oh) Ji-hwan and (Moon) Sung-joo are coming up. "If they come up in June, we can play baseball as we think." That will be the key point."
