LG Twins Prevail Over Lotte Giants With 5-3 Victory in Jamsil
Oh Ji-hwan’s Homer and Stellar Bullpen Lead LG to Third Straight Win
The LG Twins have become the first team this season to notch 70 wins, tightening their grip on the top spot in the KBO League after defeating the Lotte Giants.
On August 20 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, the LG Twins secured a 5-3 victory over the Lotte Giants in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League, marking their third consecutive win and reaching the milestone 70th victory ahead of any other team. With this triumph, LG has recorded 10 consecutive winning series, further solidifying their position as the solitary frontrunner.
LG stepped ahead early when Oh Ji-hwan hit a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning. Oh finished the game with one hit and one RBI from three at-bats. However, the momentum briefly shifted in the top of the third as the Twins allowed a three-run homer to Victor Reyes, putting Lotte up 3-2.
Regaining control in the bottom of the sixth, Oh Ji-hwan reached base on a walk and then stole second. Go Bon-hyeok’s single to center tied the game. In the seventh, back-to-back hits by Shin Min-jae and Cheon Seong-ho created another scoring opportunity, with Austin Dean’s sacrifice fly allowing LG to retake the lead at 4-3. In the eighth, Park Dong-won’s double saw Go Bon-hyeok cross home plate, sealing the victory for LG.
Shin Min-jae excelled as the leadoff hitter, going 3-for-4, while Go Bon-hyeok added two hits and an RBI from three at-bats, energizing the middle of LG's lineup. On the mound, Yoo Yeong-chan delivered 1.1 innings of scoreless relief with three strikeouts, anchoring the Twins’ bullpen.
The LG Twins are set to play the final game of their series against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on August 21.
