Son Joo-young started an away game against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 10th and met the requirements for a winning pitcher with six hits (one home run), two walks, seven strikeouts, and three runs in seven innings. Replace Kim Young-woo in the bottom of the eighth inning with the team leading 7-3.
If LG wins like this, Son Joo-young will win 10 games for the first time since his debut. And LG will have four 10-win pitchers following Chirinos (12 wins), Lim Chan-kyu (11 wins), and Song Seung-ki (10 wins). This is the third slope in the team's history after 1994 and 1998.
Son Joo-young has not won in five consecutive games since winning his ninth win of the season with seven scoreless innings against Jamsil KT Wiz on July 30.
On August 26, he came down from a 7-4 lead with four runs (non-earned) in five innings against Changwon NC and met the requirements for a winning pitcher, but he allowed five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the victory was blown away.
On this day, it was not easy to be confident of the winning pitcher. This is because the opponent was Doosan. He played against Doosan in a total of three games, including one relief this season, and had the worst report card with two losses and a 10.80 ERA without a win.
On April 13, he became a losing pitcher with six hits and six runs in three innings, and on June 21, he came out as a relief pitcher and then lost again with three hits and two runs in ⅓ innings. On August 5, there was no win or loss with four hits and two runs in five innings.
As LG has lost to SSG and Kiwoom in a row and is in a situation of losing two consecutive games, it was not Son Joo-young's individual 10 wins, but LG had to escape the losing streak. As Hanwha is chasing by four games, if it allows any further pursuit, LG will also be mentally chased.

He also lost a disappointing run in the bottom of the third inning. After giving up a walk to the first Jung Soo-bin, he allowed a steal to the second base, and when No. 1 Ahn Jae-seok grounded out in front of the first base, first baseman Austin made an error that he failed to catch properly, making it the first and third bases with no outs. When Kang Seung-ho was caught with a double play in front of the shortstop, the third baseman scored 0-3. Then, Cave and Yang Eui-ji had consecutive hits, facing a crisis of two outs and runners on first and second bases, but he caught Park Joon-soon with a ground ball in front of the third base to prevent additional runs.
At the bottom of the fourth inning, when they chased 1-3, Oh Myung-jin was on the verge of another crisis with one out and second base due to infield hits and stolen bases, but Lee Yoo-chan and Jung Soo-bin were grounded out in front of the shortstop and escaped.
And in the top of the fifth inning, LG hitters scored a large number of six points and succeeded in turning the game around 7-3, giving Son Joo-young and LG the light of victory.
Son Joo-young cheered up. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Ahn Jae-seok was struck out by second baseman fly, Kang Seung-ho and Cave in a row, completing the winning pitcher requirements.
Son Joo-young, who also rose in the bottom of the sixth inning, had a left-handed hit by the leader Yang Eui-ji, but caught Park Joon-soon with a double play and dealt with Kim Ki-yeon with a ground ball in front of the third base. He also went up in the bottom of the seventh inning and gave up a walk to Lee Yoo-chan, but he finished his mission by allowing no runs without a hit.
