LG Twins cut the magic number to six by catching all of the double headers with KT Wiz.
LG won 6-2 in the first game of the doubleheader game against KT at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 18th, and made a whopping 18 hits in the second game to win a 14-1 victory. LG, which added two wins at once, recorded 83 wins, 3 draws, and 50 losses, just two steps closer to winning the regular league. LG reduced its magic number 2 to 6 in a single day, and is close to winning the regular league title. KT lost all three consecutive games against LG, losing four in a row and being chased by the sixth-ranked Lotte Giants by a half-game, turning on a red light for the fifth-place team.
KT, which lost the first game, returned as a top hitter with Huh Kyung-min, who did not play due to his poor hamstring. The starting lineup consisted of Heo Kyung-min (3rd baseman), Stevenson (middle fielder), Ahn Hyun-min (right fielder), Jang Sung-woo (designated hitter), Hwang Jae-gyun (first baseman), Kim Sang-soo (second baseman), Jang Jin-hyuk (left fielder), Cho Dae-hyun (catcher), and Kwon Dong-jin (striker).
Hong Chang-ki, who returned from injury, started the winning team LG for the first time. Hong Chang-ki (designated hitter), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Moon Sung-joo (right wing), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Park Kwan-woo (left wing), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder). Kim Hyun-soo, who hit a wedge two-run shot in the first game, was given rest.

KT Patrick and LG Song Seung-ki will face off as starters.
LG, who won the first game, also showed good batting performance in the second game.
In the top of the second inning, Oh Ji-hwan and Park Dong-won made consecutive hits to create chances for first and second base, and first baseman Hwang Jae-gyun failed to catch Park Kwan-woo's first-base hit and dropped it back, so second baseman Oh Ji-hwan homered and scored the first run. Park Hae-min's heavy hit with one out and runners on first and second bases added another point. Hong Chang-ki's ground ball in front of the first baseman made it 2 outs and 2nd and 3rd base, and Shin Min-jae's heavy hit added 2 runs to make it 4-0. Austin's left-handed hit and Moon Bo-kyung's walk created an additional scoring opportunity with two outs, but Moon Sung-joo stepped down with a fly to left field.
LG scored an additional point in the top of the fourth inning. Leader Park Hae-min ran quickly during the strikeout not-out and settled to second base. When Hong Chang-ki grounded out in front of the first base, he went to third base and hit home when Shin Min-jae grounded out in front of the pitcher, and LG's attack started again after 5 to 0.2 outs. Austin's hit to right-center and Moon Bo-kyung's walk made the first and second bases, but Moon Sung-joo did not miss this opportunity. He brought home both runners with a triple in the middle of the month. 7-0.
Patrick became a losing pitcher with eight hits, two walks, two strikeouts and seven runs (four earned) during four innings.

LG starter Song Seung-ki, who received strong scoring support, pitched stable pitching differently from his bullpen appearance. He allowed only two hits and one walk until the fifth inning, and quickly eliminated the inning without a crisis of scoring rights, exceeding the winning pitcher requirements.
In the top of the sixth inning, LG seemed to virtually decide the game as Oh Ji-hwan scored one more point with a timely hit with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, leading 8-0.
KT finally hit back at the bottom of the sixth inning. KT, which created the first opportunity to score with one out and runners on first and second bases with leader Huh Kyung-min's heavy hit and Ahn Hyun-min's right-handed hit, scored the first point with Jang Sung-woo's left-handed hit. However, with one out and runners on the first and second bases, Hwang Jae-gyun struck out swinging, followed by Kang Baek-ho stepping down with a ground ball in front of the second base, failing to close the gap.
LG's attack did not end even in the top of the seventh inning. After the first inning, Park Hae-min, Hong Chang-ki and Shin Min-jae's consecutive hits created a chance to load the bases, and Austin hit a three-run double when he hit the right-center fence to spread it to 11-1, and in the top of the eighth inning, Shin Min-jae and Koo Bon-hyuk scored three more runs to widen the gap to 14-1.
LG starter Song Seung-ki became the winning pitcher with five hits, one walk, eight strikeouts, and one run in six innings, recording his 11th win (5 losses) of the season. Amid the gap in score, LG prepared for the match against Jamsil Samsung on the 20th by using bullpen pitchers such as Ham Deok-ju, Lee Ji-gang, and Kim Jin-soo, who were not used in the first game from the 7th inning.
LG was able to win easily as the batters exploded, with Shin Min-jae having three hits and five RBIs, Austin having four hits and three RBIs, Moon Sung-joo having two hits and two RBIs, Park Hae-min having three hits and one RBI, and Oh Ji-hwan having two hits and one RBI. Hong Chang-ki, who started as a top hitter for the first time since his injury, scored one hit and one point in five at-bats.
KT lost without making a proper counterattack because starter Patrick collapsed early and the batting line was blocked by Song Seung-ki.
