SSG Landers broke their four-game losing streak by getting revenge on LG Twins.

SSG won 5-1 against LG in the 2024 Shinhan Solbank KBO League match held at Jamsil Stadium on the 21st. SSG, which

had lost 3-4 to LG the day before and had lost four games in a row, broke the losing streak with this win. SSG, which earned its 57th win (1 draw, 59 losses), maintained its 5th place.

LG, which broke its three-game losing streak by winning against SSG on the 20th, failed to continue its upward trend. LG, in third place, now has 61 wins, 2 draws, and 53 losses. The outstanding performance of

foreign pitcher Roenis Elias was the most outstanding.

Elias gave up only two hits and three walks in seven innings, shutting out the LG batting lineup without giving up a run. He struck out four batters.

Elias won his fourth win of the season after winning for the first time in 109 days against the NC Dinos in Changwon on the 15th of this month. SSG scored the first point in the first inning. In the top of the first inning, Choo Shin-soo hit a double to left field, and Choi Jeong's infield hit put runners on first and third with one out. Choi Jeong's hit rolled to the left of the second baseman, but second baseman Shin Min-jae failed to properly catch it, resulting in an infield hit. SSG took a 1-0 lead as the next batter Guillermo Heredia hit a timely hit to left field. SSG maintained their precious 1-run lead as Elias continued to pitch scoreless innings. Elias, who faced a crisis with runners on first and second base with two outs due to a hit and a walk in the bottom of the first, prevented a run by catching Park Dong-won on a ground ball to second base. Elias also pitched the bottom of the third and fourth innings with two outs and runners on second base without allowing a run, ending the bottoms of the fifth and sixth innings with three strikeouts. SSG, who had been protecting their icy lead, added another run in the seventh inning. In the top of the seventh, Park Sung-han hit a hit and Oh Tae-gon sacrifice bunt made it one out and a runner on second. Pinch hitter Lee Ji-young grounded out to shortstop, but SSG used a pinch hitter again, and Kim Sung-hyun hit a timely hit to left field. Elias induced a grounder to Park Hae-min in the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs, then caught the ball himself and threw it to first base, but the throw went over the first baseman's head, sending Park Hae-min to second. However, he struck out Song Chan-ui. LG scored after Elias left the mound. In the bottom of the 8th, with Shin Min-jae's hit and the opposing pitcher's wild pitch, Austin Dean hit a timely double to left field with 1 out and a runner on second base. Noh Kyung-eun, who gave up the scoring in the bottom of the 8th, got Moon Bo-kyung to fly out to left field and Park Dong-won to ground out to shortstop, preventing SSG from tying the score. SSG ran away right away after overcoming the tying crisis. In the top of the 9th with 1 out, Park Sung-han walked, and Oh Tae-gon hit a two-run homer (his 4th of the season) over the left field fence. He pulled the fastball inside the opposing reliever Choi Dong-hwan and connected it for a home run. After that, Lee Ji-young's hit and a stolen base, Choi Ji-hoon's walk, and with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base, Choo Shin-soo hit a center-field RBI single, and SSG widened the score gap to 5-1. SSG won the game by blocking Jo Byeong-hyeon, who came on in the bottom of the 9th, with 1 hit and no runs for 1 inning.
