KT beat SSG Landers 10-1 in the 2025 KBO League at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th.
KT, ranked fifth, won four games in a row and recorded 70 wins, four draws and 66 losses. It has secured at least a 50% win rate.
At the same time, KIA's possibility of recapturing the fifth place disappeared arithmetically. Kia, ranked eighth without a game, moved away from KT by six games. KIA will not have a winning rate of 50% even if it wins all six remaining games.
Defending champion KIA has collapsed shockingly.
Kia has been suffering from injury nightmares this season. Starting with Kim Do-young, Kim Sun-bin, Park Chan-ho, and Na Sung-beom were injured in rotation. Wizdom, a foreign hitter who was brought to first base, was confused, going to and from third base.
Yang Hyun-jong, the first Korean starter, was also sluggish at the beginning of the season. The bad luck of starting prospect Hwang Dong-ha in a car accident also overlapped. Finishing Jung Hae-young was shaken. Jo Sang-woo, the winning contractor who was brought in as a trade, also failed to support him.
At the end of the season, even foreign ace nails complained of poor condition. As he fell out of the rotation, he lost the momentum of his last-minute counterattack.
On the other hand, KT's advance has plunged the fight for third and fifth place into mystery.
KT cut its gap with third-place SSG to 1.5 games. It is one game away from fourth-place Samsung. No one knows what will happen with four games left in the regular season.
KT starter Patrick pitched six scoreless innings. Patrick won three games (3 losses) of the season. KT, which had a three-day break after the game on the 26th, put Heyesus on standby for the bullpen. Patrick played well and the lineup exploded, saving Heyesus.
Kang Baek-ho led the lineup. He recorded two hits and four RBIs in four times at bat, including a home run.
