LG Twins' fifth starter Song Seung-ki stepped up as the team's No. 1 guard with three consecutive scoreless games.
Song Seung-ki started in an away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 8th and recorded two hits, two walks, and five strikeouts and no runs in seven innings. Song Seung-ki, who was replaced by Kim Young-woo in the bottom of the eighth inning with a 7-0 lead, will take his seventh win of the season if he wins like this.
Song Seung-ki, who saved his team from losing three consecutive games with one hit and no run in six innings against Changwon NC on the 3rd, saved the team, which was on the verge of a sweep loss due to two consecutive losses this time.
He has been scoreless in three consecutive games and has been scoreless in 20 consecutive ⅔ since the end of the fifth inning against the Lotte Giants in Busan on May 20.
With no runs on the day, Song Seung-ki reduced his ERA from 2.56 to 2.30, ranking third overall after Cody Ponce (1.80) of the Hanwha Eagles and Drew Anderson (2.28), the SSG Landers. He ranked first among Korean pitchers ahead of KT Wiz's So Hyung-joon (2.43).
Despite playing Yoni Chirinos and Lim Chan-kyu, they lost one to two and one to four, and took the mound in a bad situation where they were chased by the second-place Hanwha Eagles by 0.5 games, but Song Seung-ki's pitching, which has been on the rise recently, remained.
On this day, Song Sung-moon (third baseman), Choi Joo-hwan (designated hitter), Lee Ju-hyung (middle fielder), Lim Ji-yeol (left fielder), Kim Gun-hee (catcher), Park Soo-jong (right fielder), Eo Jun-seo (striker), Yang Hyun-jong (first baseman), and Song Ji-hoo (second baseman) faced the Kiwoom lineup.

After two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, Lim Ji-yeol hit a heavy hit and allowed Kiwoom to get his first hit. However, he hit Kim Gun-hee with a ground ball in front of the second base.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Yang allowed a walk to Yang Hyeon-jong after two outs, but he caught Song Ji-hoo with a fly to right field and allowed no runs until the fifth inning.
Kiwoom's starter, rookie Jung Hyun-woo, pitched one run with 65 balls until the fifth inning, and Song Seung-ki pitched 63 scoreless pitches.
At the bottom of the sixth inning, Kim Hyun-soo's double gave him one run and led 2-0, he was on the verge of first and second base with a hit ball and a walk after two outs, but he overcame the first crisis safely by catching Kim Gun-hee with a second baseman line drive.
In the top of the seventh inning, Song Seung-ki, who scored five runs with Shin Min-jae's timely hit and Kim Hyun-soo Moon Bo-kyung's two-run shot, allowed the first-runner Won Sung-joon to hit right, but struck out pinch-hitter Kim Dong-yeop and Yang Hyun-jong in a row, and finished his mission by catching Song Ji-hoo with a fly to right field.
Song Seung-ki, who recorded 97 pitches, sprayed 58 fastballs with a maximum speed of 148km, and blocked Kiwoom batters with 14 sliders, changeups (13), eight curves, and four folk balls this time.
