A terrible ninth move, the first four consecutive losses of the season, is a crisis coming for LG to win

LG was caught in a terrible nine moves ahead of the 50th win of the season. LG lost 1-4 in an away game against KT at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 25th. As a result, LG has 49 wins, 2 draws, and 32 losses. Since winning against Lotte on the 8th, he has lost four consecutive games. It is the record for the most consecutive losses this season when head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop took the helm. It was a must-win game, but it was a lethargic defeat. For LG, Kelly, who played as an ace until last year, is sluggish, and the 4th to 5th starters are not in position. The starting pitcher of the day was Plutko. He was the first starter with 11 wins, 1 loss, and a 2.21 ERA in the first half. Plutko, who played many innings in the first half, took the mound after two weeks of rest, including the All-Star break. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "Plutco said he wanted to take two weeks off, so we adjusted the schedule. We need to take the center stage for the second half of the selection. You must win the game that Plutko plays. "In the first half of the game that Plutko took the mound, I won all but one game," he expected. In 17 games that Plutko started, LG recorded 14 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. However, Plutko was not very good at pitching that day. From the first inning, the ball hit the center of the bat and blocked the run with the help of the defense. He allowed four walks, 1.23 per game. He became a losing pitcher with four hits, four walks, two strikeouts and three runs in six innings. He lost twice in July alone. He had a quality start, but it was a disappointing pitch. He was on the verge of one out and runners on first and second base with a hit and a walk in the third inning, and allowed Alford an RBI double. He then dedicated one point with a wild pitch at second and third bases with one out. Park Byung-ho allowed his third run with a slow grounder in front of shortstop. On the other hand, LG hitters failed to target KT starter Benjamin, who is a "natural enemy relationship." Head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said before the game, "The opponent is the target starter, and my pride is a little hurt." "The players have to overcome," Benjamin showed an overwhelming pitch. Benjamin had three games against LG and had three wins, no losses, and a 1.04 ERA. LG's Hong Chang-ki, Moon Sung-joo, and Kim Hyun-soo struck out three consecutive batters in the first inning. He had only three sporadic hits until the eighth inning, and he never stepped on the second base. Benjamin's fastball and slider command were powerful. LG failed to get revenge and fell victim to Benjamin's personal record of most innings (8 innings). LG is 1.5 games ahead of second-place SSG. After that, Doosan, which has won 11 consecutive games, a new club record, has narrowed the gap to 4.5 games. KT's starting pitcher on the 26th is Ko Young-pyo. He has pitched two games against LG this year and has been sluggish with one loss and eight runs in 5⅓ innings (13.50 average score), but has maintained a good pace with quality starts in the past seven consecutive games.
