LG Twins Suffer Historic Four-Day Losing Streak to KT Wiz

The LG Twins are grappling with an unprecedented losing streak, having fallen to the KT Wiz for four consecutive days. This marks a historic low in professional baseball, with the Twins becoming the first team to suffer such a defeat against the same opponent over four straight games. The losing streak extends to seven games at Jamsil Stadium against the Wiz, a new record for LG since KT's entry into the league in 2015.

LG's manager, Yeom Kyung-yup, attempted to counter KT's left-handed pitcher Ko Young-pyo with a lineup of left-handed power hitters, hoping for "one big hit." However, the strategy faltered as the team managed only five scattered hits over six innings against Ko. The offense remained largely silent until Park Dong-won hit a solo home run in the ninth inning, narrowly avoiding a shutout.

This series of losses has seen LG drop to third place in the standings, while KT has climbed to second. The Twins are now on a five-game losing streak overall, including their final game before the break. Meanwhile, KT continues its winning momentum with a seven-game streak, now trailing the league leaders by only half a game.

Beyond the Twins' struggles, the article touches on other significant baseball milestones. Pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin achieved his 2500th career strikeout, a first for a Korean pitcher across professional leagues in Korea, the US, and Japan. Additionally, KIA Tigers manager Lee Beom-ho became the third-youngest manager in league history to reach 200 wins.
