The first game ended unexpectedly blandly. But I don't know yet. In autumn baseball, the atmosphere changes rapidly in a single game, maybe even at a single moment.

The LG Twins won 8-2 in Game 1 of the Korean Series against the Hanwha Eagles in the 2025 KBO League postseason at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th.

LG had the upper hand in every way. LG led from one to ten pitchers' batting defense bases. Hanwha did not perform well, perhaps due to lack of experience or physical limitations. There are already observations that it will be LG's one-sided series.

It is unclear whether the flow of Game 1 will dominate the entire series. Just look at this wild card game and playoffs.

Samsung's card was beaten even after ace in the first round of the wild card game. NC, which has won 10 consecutive games, including the regular season, was very strong. Samsung is overwhelmed with anxiety 'Upset' However, in the second game, Won Tae-in blocked NC with six scoreless innings.

Samsung and Hanwha had a total of 17 points in the first round of the playoffs. Hanwha's bat was unexpectedly hot. However, in the second game, Choi Won-tae overpowered the Hanwha lineup with one run in seven innings. Rather, Samsung beat Hanwha's second starter Weiss and replaced him early in four innings. In Game 4, Samsung made a great turnaround with Kim Young-woong's three consecutive at-bats, and the atmosphere seemed to have completely crossed, but Game 5 ended with Hanwha's victory again.

Therefore, Hanwha starter Ryu Hyun-jin is responsible for the second game of the Korean Series. If Ryu Hyun-jin freezes LG's batters, who scored eight points in the first game, the trend can be reversed 180 degrees.

Ryu Hyun-jin just happens to be famous for his 'LG natural enemy'. He has allowed three runs and an ERA of 1.08 in 25 innings with one win and no loss in four games this year.

LG also has a variable. Foreign pitcher Chirinos suddenly showed symptoms of bile, which prevented him from playing in the second game. Korean ace Lim Chan-kyu will make a appearance. Lim Chan-kyu also had a good performance against Hanwha. This year, he allowed seven runs (six earned runs) in 34 innings in five games and two wins and one loss with a 1.59 ERA.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said after losing the first game, "(LG) also looked like the winning team, the structure still looked good. Our batters will work hard and prepare well tomorrow so that Hanwha can win tomorrow."

LG should not let down its guard, and Hanwha should also not be disappointed.
