LG Twins hit 4 home runs in 1st inning, sweep Doosan Bears; Lotte Giants win 5th straight

The LG Twins dominated the Doosan Bears in a decisive 9-1 victory, completing a three-game sweep. The game was marked by an extraordinary offensive display in the first inning, where LG batters launched four solo home runs, a KBO first. This historic feat set the tone for the match, with the team further extending their lead with another home run in the fifth inning.

LG's starting pitcher, Raklan Wells, delivered a strong performance, pitching five innings and allowing only one unearned run to secure his fifth win of the season. The team's offense proved relentless, amassing ten hits, including five home runs, to overwhelm the Doosan pitching staff. The first-inning barrage of four home runs was the 16th instance of such an occurrence in KBO history and the first ever at Seoul's Jamsil Stadium.

This victory propels the first-place LG Twins to their 45th win of the season, while the Doosan Bears, who have now lost three consecutive games, remain in fifth place. LG also reached a significant team milestone, hitting their 4000th career home run, a testament to their long-standing offensive prowess.
