Heo Kyung-min's Grand Slam Ends SSG's Four-Game Win Streak as KT Wiz Secure 7-3 Victory

KT Wiz snapped their losing streak with a decisive 7-3 victory over the SSG Landers on Saturday, halting the SSG's recent surge.

The win, achieved in an away game at the SSG Landers Field in Incheon, marked KT's 34th win of the season against 23 losses and one tie. This victory keeps them in contention, trailing the league-leading LG Twins, who hold a 36-21 record.

Meanwhile, SSG Landers, who had been on a three-game winning streak after a challenging 13-game losing spell, could not extend their momentum. Their season record now stands at 35 wins, 32 losses, and one tie.

Heo Kyung-min hit a grand slam that secured the team's victory.

KT's starting pitcher Bae Je-seong delivered a strong performance over five innings, allowing four hits and striking out five batters without conceding a run. Despite his efforts, he did not secure the win. Relief pitcher Han Seung-hyuk earned his second win of the season after closing out the seventh inning scoreless.

Key offensive contributions came from Heo Kyung-min, who hit a grand slam – his third of the season – sealing the victory. Choi Won-joon continued his impressive hitting streak, recording multiple hits for the fourth consecutive game. Rookie Lee Jae-won, who had hit a home run in his debut at-bat on June 4, made his first start in the lineup.
