Newswire From a news agency Context piece
  • LG Twins relief pitcher Son Joo-young protected a 5-1 win over the Doosan Bears with a scoreless, one-inning appearance.
  • The victory extended LG’s winning streak to three games, while the team continues to hope for a finish as high as second place.
  • Cho Woo-seok’s return is expected to strengthen LG’s bullpen and provide a potential closer capable of recording 25 saves.

LG Twins held on for their third straight win as reliever Son Joo-young worked two consecutive days and closed out a 5-1 victory over the Doosan Bears at Seoul’s Jamsil Baseball Stadium.

Son entered in the bottom of the ninth and retired Kim Dae-han on a fly ball to center before recording a scoreless, three-up, three-down inning. Because the game did not present a save situation, he did not add to his save total.

LG is also looking ahead to Cho Woo-seok’s return. The club hopes his comeback will provide a closer who can reach 25 saves, while Son said the team is still aiming as high as second place and has not given up hope.

We are looking as high as second. We are not giving up the thread of hope.

— Son Joo-youngThe LG Twins pitcher described the team’s ambitions after its third consecutive win.
