The LG Twins beat the one-roof rival Doosan Bears and escaped from two consecutive losses, maintaining the gap with Hanwha.
LG won an 8-4 come-from-behind victory in the top of the fifth inning against Doosan held in Jamsil on the 10th. LG, which has escaped two consecutive losses, recorded 79 wins, 3 draws, and 48 losses, leaving 80 wins and one win. The magic number is reduced to 11. Doosan won 56 games, six draws and 67 losses for the second consecutive time.
LG starter Son Joo-young won his 10th game of the season with six hits (one home run), two walks, seven strikeouts and three runs in seven innings. Son Joo-young, who has not won in five games since winning nine games against KT on July 30, won in six games, winning nine games last year and winning his first 10 games this year.
With Son Joo-young's 10 wins, LG created four 10-win pitchers after Chirinos (12 wins), Lim Chan-kyu (11 wins), and Song Seung-ki (10 wins), marking the third slope in the team's history after 1994 and 1998.
Doosan led 3-0 in the beginning with Kim Ki-yeon's first two-run shot, but suffered a come-from-behind defeat as the starting call was collapsed when a series of disappointing defense came out.
Doosan formed the starting lineup of Ahn Jae-seok (striker), Kang Seung-ho (first baseman), Cave (right fielder), Yang Eui-ji (designated hitter), Park Joon-soon (second baseman), Kim Ki-yeon (fosu), Oh Myung-jin (third baseman), Lee Yoo-chan (left fielder), and Jung Soo-bin (middle fielder). Lee Yoo-chan comes out in left field, and five right-handed hitters are deployed.
The starting lineup consisted of Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Moon Sung-joo (right wing), Austin (1st baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (3rd baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Choi Won-young (left wing), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder). Son Joo-young mainly worked with catcher Lee Joo-heon, but Park Dong-won had to play in the postseason, so he played as a catcher on the day.

Doosan was ahead early on. In the bottom of the second inning, Kim Ki-yeon's first two-run shot came after one hit by a superior double by the first Yang Eui-ji. In 2B1S, the 140km cutter did not miss coming to the low strike zone and connected it to a big hit.
At the bottom of the third inning, Jung Soo-bin homered and 3-0 when Kang Seung-ho's double play was made with Jung Soo-bin's walk, second base steal, and opponent's error.
However, luck began to come to LG little by little. After Kim Hyun-soo got on base with a left-handed hit in the top of the fourth inning, Kim Hyun-soo came home and scored when Oh Ji-hwan doubled to the right. Based on the batting performance, it seemed difficult for Kim Hyun-soo, who was not fast, to come in, but Kim Hyun-soo was able to come home while Doosan right fielder Cave was not able to hold the ball properly.
In the top of the fifth inning, it could be said that good luck came to LG.
Choi Won-young hit a double on the right-wing line, causing a situation from second base with no outs. Park Hae-min made a surprise bunt on the second pitch in the ball count 1B. The slightly floating ball went between the pitcher and the first and second basemen, and no one caught it no-bound. Since the first baseman, second baseman, and pitcher all came to the ball, Park Hae-min was so easily safe.

However, as Park Hae-min's surprise bunt came up, second baseman Choi Won-young couldn't start. Second baseman Park Joon-soon, who ran to third base late and caught the ball, threw directly to third base without even looking at the first base. Choi Won-young seemed to be out late, but the throw fell without being properly caught in the glove of third baseman Oh Myung-jin. Choi Won-young's lucky safe. In the meantime, Park Hae-min ran to second base, and a decisive chance to tie the game with no outs and runners on second and third bases came.
Luck continued again. Shin Min-jae's ball became a foul fly to left field. It was a little short fly, but Choi Won-young ran home. Left fielder Lee Yoo-chan sprayed home accurately and quickly and entered catcher Kim Ki-yeon's meat before Choi Won-young. Choi Won-young made a quick head-first sliding, but Kim Ki-yeon's mitt tagged and declared out.
However, the results of the video review were safe. The video reading center judged that Choi Won-young's left hand arrived at the home plate first just before Kim Ki-yeon received the ball and tagged it. 2-3, 1 point difference.
Moon Sung-joo then drew a walk to make it 1st and 2nd base with 1 out, and Austin hit a clean heavy hit to tie the score 3-3. Eventually, Colerbin went down and Lee Byung-hun came up.
However, Lee Byung-hun failed to throw a strike. Moon Bo-kyung drew a walk after a full count match to load the bases with one out, and Kim Hyun-soo picked up a straight walk and pushed it out, leading to a 4-3 turnaround. Doosan replaced the pitcher with Park Shin-ji.
A strange thing happened at home again during Oh Ji-hwan's at-bat. When Park Shin-ji's fourth ball, which was added in 1B2S, fell to the side, Austin, the third baseman, rushed home. It was a situation where he should not run because he didn't lose much of the ball, but Austin ran and couldn't go back. After seeing this, Kim Ki-yeon also ran toward the home plate and put the mitt to the home plate. In terms of timing, Kim Ki-yeon seemed to have arrived faster and tagged Austin, but the referee declared safe.

As it turned out, Austin saw Kim Ki-yeon trying to tag him, took out his left hand, turned his body, and hit home with his right hand. Even in video reading, the results are safe without changing. Oh Ji-hwan stepped down with a short fly to center field with one out and the second and third bases, but Park Dong-won added two more runs with a double to left-center to run to 7-3.
Son Joo-young, who was unstable in the beginning, turned the tables and threw without additional runs until the seventh inning to create his first 10-win game since his debut.
LG added one run in the top of the ninth inning with Park Hae-min's left-center hit, second base steal, third base steal, and Shin Min-jae's heavy hit, leading to an 8-3, five-run gap, further away from Doosan's pursuit. Doosan chased down one run in the bottom of the ninth inning
Doosan took its 10th loss of the season as starter Colerbin became a losing pitcher with seven hits, three walks, two strikeouts and five runs in four ⅓ innings.
Doosan's comfort was that Yang Eui-ji recorded three hits in four at-bats, raising his batting average from 0.336 to 0.339.
