On July 22, the start of what everyone calls a miracle of the LG Twins. When the team led the KIA Tigers 4-1 in Gwangju, overturned it 4-7 in the bottom of the eighth inning, and won the game again 9-7 with Park Hae-min's tie-breaking three-run shot and Kim Hyun-soo's come-from-behind hit in the top of the ninth inning, the gap with the No. 1 Hanwha Eagles was 5.5 games.
And on Aug. 9, 16 days later, LG led the game with an 8-1 victory over Hanwha. In just 16 days, he overturned the 5.5 game difference, as well as leading by 3 games. It's an 8.5 game car. For 16 days, LG ran 14 wins and 2 losses and a winning rate of 807.5, while Hanwha had 4 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses, with a winning rate of only 308. The two have 8.5 games on the board.
The Hanwha-LG match held in Jamsil on the 9th clearly showed the difference in atmosphere between the two teams.
In the good atmosphere of LG's 2-1 come-from-behind victory with Chun Sung-ho's walk-off hit in the bottom of the 10th inning the previous day, and Hanwha's disappointing atmosphere of failing to keep Ryu Hyun-jin's scoreless six innings, the starting showdown between LG Chirinos and Ha Hwa Um Sang-baek was a big difference in weight, and Um Sang-baek raised the white flag first under pressure.
In the top of the first inning, Chirinos were hit by No. 1 Son Ah-seop and No. 3 Moon Hyun-bin, and were on the verge of one out and one out, but he induced Noh Si-hwan to ground out in front of the third base to catch Son Ah-seop, the third baseman, at home, and then handled Chae Eun-sung with a groundout in front of the third base to bring the flow of the game.

And in the bottom of the first inning, lead Shin Min-jae made a chance by getting on base with a heavy hit after a close full count of up to 14 pitches, and Austin led 2-0 by connecting with a pre-emptive two-run shot in the middle of Um Sang-baek's unfavorable count of 2S. Moon Bo-kyung then walked and stole second base, and Oh Ji-hwan added one point with a left-handed hit to make it 3-0.
In the bottom of the second inning, Moon Sung-joo's double to the right-center with runners on the first and second bases with no outs made by Park Hae-min's hit and Shin Min-jae's walk added two runs to make Um Sang-baek 5-0. After that, Moon Bo-kyung's hit to right-center added one more point to make it 6-0.
LG, which led 8-0 in the bottom of the third inning with Austin's sacrifice fly and Moon Sung-joo's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fourth inning, gave up one point in the top of the fifth inning and failed to score additional points in the scoring chance afterwards, but the 7-point gap was a sufficient score to win.
Chirinos won their 10th game of the season with five hits, one walk, four strikeouts, and one run until the seventh inning, and then Lee Ji-gang and Park Myung-geney were held scoreless in the eighth and ninth innings, ending the game with an 8-1 victory.
Austin had one hit (homer) and three RBIs in four at-bats, and Moon Sung-joo had two hits and three RBIs in four at-bats. Park Hae-min scored three hits and two points in four at-bats, and Shin Min-jae played his role as a top hitter with 100% of his three hits, two walks and three points in three at-bats. Kim Hyun-soo, who had 2,500 hits the previous day, also added two more hits to continue his good batting performance.
Kim Hyun-soo hit a 3,800-base hit for the fifth time in history, and Oh Ji-hwan topped 900 RBIs for the 36th time in history.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said after the game that `Chirinos pitched perfectly as a starter. Congratulations on your first 10th win in the KBO League", and complimented Chirinos first.
Then " Austin's two-run homer in the first inning and Oh Ji-hwan's additional RBI were able to bring the overall flow of the game to our side. With additional points needed, Moon Sung-joo's two-run double and Austin's team batting in the second inning made it easy to solve the game by making an additional RBI with Moon Bo-kyung's timely hit"
