Now '1 Win Cider' with 'Chilsung'... Lotte Giants' First 7-Game Winning Streak Since Manager Kim Tae-hyung Took Over

The Lotte Giants are on a remarkable seven-game winning streak, their longest since a nine-game run in April 2023, following a hard-fought 5-3 victory over the NC Dinos. This latest win, achieved at their home stadium in Busan, signifies a significant turnaround for the team under manager Kim Tae-hyung, marking his first seven-game winning streak since taking the helm.

The Giants, currently in eighth place, now hold a record of 31 wins, 2 draws, and 39 losses. Their recent success puts pressure on the seventh-place NC Dinos, who fell into a four-game losing streak with this defeat. Lotte has now secured at least two wins in their three-game series against NC for the first time this season, achieving a 'winning series'.

The game's decisive moments came in the bottom of the eighth inning. After NC took a 2-2 tie in the eighth, Lotte's Na Seung-yeop delivered a clutch two-out, bases-loaded single, driving in two runs. An error on an outfield throw allowed another run to score, sealing the victory.

In other KBO action, league leaders LG Twins continued their strong performance with a 2-0 win over Samsung Lions, extending their own winning streak to five games. Meanwhile, the second-place KT Wiz suffered a 4-5 loss to SSG Landers, widening the gap between them. The fourth-place KIA Tigers secured a dominant 10-3 victory against last-place Kiwoom Heroes, maintaining their perfect record against them this season.
