LG won 4-2 against the Doosan Bears on the 5th and ranked first alone with seven consecutive wins. As Hanwha Eagles came from behind to lose to KT Wiz 2-5, LG, which was in second place without a ride, rose to first place with a one-game lead.
LG is showing the strongest in the second half of the year. With 14 wins and 2 losses, the winning rate is as high as 807. LG, which had 14 wins and 2 losses in 16 games in the first half of the year, got off to a good start in the second half and lost its No. 1 position.
Reminds me of the winning mode in 2023. There are a lot of come-from-behind wins.
LG, which won the regular league with 86 wins, two draws and 56 losses in 2023, ranked first overall with 42 come-from-behind wins. Even if the starter lost the lead by giving up points, it was one of LG's winning formulas to prevent additional runs with the power of the powerful bullpen and turn the tables with the power of the batters who wielded the fire bat.
Last year, LG had only 34 come-from-behind wins. KIA recorded 42 come-from-behind wins and even won the regular league and the Korean Series.
The No. 1 come-from-behind victory this year is the Hanwha Eagles. In total, he won 30 come-from-behind victories. Kia ranks second with 27 wins. LG ranked third with 24.

This is due to the abundance of bullpen pitchers such as Kim Young-woo, Ham Deok-ju, Lee Jung-yong, Kim Jin-sung, and Jang Hyun-sik, and the bullpen gradually stabilized, and even if the lead is lost, it has the power to prevent additional runs. In addition, as the batters revived in the second half of the game, the number of turning over in the second half of the game increased.
It was a representative come-from-behind victory against Gwangju KIA on July 22, which became LG's turning point. After leading 4-1 and giving up as many as six points in the bottom of the eighth inning, Park Hae-min hit a tying three-run shot against opposing closer Jung Hae-young in the top of the ninth inning, and LG's atmosphere completely changed as Kim Hyun-soo hit a come-from-behind victory of 9-7.
On the 5th, the perfect bullpen's ear throw made it possible to come from behind to win the game against Doosan. After starting Son Joo-young stopped him with two runs until the fifth inning, Kim Young-woo in the sixth inning, Ham Deok-ju in the seventh inning, and Kim Jin-sung in the eighth inning took the mound one after another to prevent all three outs without getting on base, and in the meantime, LG made 1-2 with Moon Bo-kyung's come-from-behind three-run shot in the bottom of the seventh inning. Closer Yoo Young-chan was on the verge of first and third base with no outs with consecutive hits in the top of the ninth inning, but LG was able to finish the game by striking out all the the hitters.
LG's Moon Bo-kyung conveyed LG's current team atmosphere, saying, `Even though we're losing, we don't think we'll lose.' LG, which elevated the mood with a come-from-behind victory, quickly reversed the 5.5 game gap with Hanwha to regain the top spot. Can LG's rise continue to the weekend match against Hanwha. If the team takes the showdown with Hanwha to the Winning Series, the atmosphere could heat up even more.
