The energy of the universe is with Hyunsik...LG's 5th consecutive win is worth investing 5.2 billion won

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop recently mentioned the `Energy of the Universe' as the secret to his five consecutive wins. As such, there were many miraculous come-from-behind wins, and Jang Hyun-sik, a must-win group, was at the center of it. Jang Hyun-sik pitched in three relief games this week, winning three games, three ⅔ innings, and throwing no runs.
The same was true of the game against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 25th. Jang Hyun-sik took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning when he was being dragged 3-4 and treated Jung Soo-bin, Oh Myung-jin, and Jake Cave as a three-out offense. He completely cut off the flow of Doosan's top lineup.
Then, in the top of the ninth inning, LG had a chance. He scored as many as three points by targeting Doosan closer Kim Taek-yeon. In the process, Doosan catcher Yang Eui-ji's throwing error to the first base was made, and the energy of the universe literally turned to LG. LG began to solidify its second place with a 6-5 come-from-behind victory.
Coach Yeom said ahead of the match against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 26th that `The energy of the universe is Hyun-sik's writing in the eighth inning for Hyun-sik. We won again and won three times. I also asked the pitching coach to use Hyunsik. Seung-woon is attached to it. You can never ignore the flow. Hyunsik can win more than three games this week. Baseball can't ignore that. How many times will an intermediate pitcher win three games a week. It's not easy to come out once a year. It comes out once a year now. That's Seungwoon and the flow. On yesterday (25th), 80% of them believed in Seung-woon, but it happened again."

Ahead of this season, Jang Hyun-sik signed an FA contract with LG that guarantees the full amount of 5.2 billion won for four years. He was worried when he was away due to an injury early in the season, but he has been doing his part enough since returning early last month. He has 34 games, 3 wins and 2 losses, 9 saves, 2 holds, 34 innings, and a 2.38 ERA this season. Thanks to this, LG is also on the rise along with Jang Hyun-sik.
LG is four games apart from No. 1 Hanwha in the last five consecutive wins. It is not easy to close the gap as Hanwha continues to win consecutive games without losing consecutive games. Instead, he is focusing on solidifying second place by widening the gap with the third-place Lotte Giants by three games.
Director Yeom said, `The energy of the universe is still attached to Hanwha. I think we're coming a little bit, too," he said, hoping that the energy that came with Jang Hyun-sik's good pitching would continue.
