LG Twins is enjoying immense excitement by winning the opening seven consecutive games. It is maintaining its leading position by setting a new record of the most consecutive wins at the opening of the team. If the team sweeps the three consecutive games during the week, which starts at Suwon on Monday, it will be on par with the opening record of 10 consecutive wins along with Samsung in 2003 and SSG in 2022. KT is currently ranking fourth with four wins, one draw and three losses.

The reason LG forgot how to lose this season is because of the high mound. As of Tuesday, LG's ERA stood at 1.86, the lowest among the 10 teams. Based on the 10-game winning streak, LG is displaying better performance compared with Samsung (2.70) in 2003 and SSG (1.88) in 2022. The 2022 season was when SSG ace Kim Kwang-hyun recorded a career high (2.13) in ERA. LG's on-base allowed rate (WHIP) per inning is 0.86, which is less than one. In other words, LG's teams cannot reach the first base even on average per inning.

In particular, five starting pitchers who have formed the starting rotation have performed their roles more than 100 percent, and are smoothly progressing their games. Out of seven wins, only five have been selected as starters. The story is also good. Currently, LG's starting pitchers have an ERA of 1.50 with 6 2/3 innings, the most among the 10 teams. As starting pitchers take charge of games up to two outs in seven innings on average, overloading of the bullpen is also being prevented.

Native starters are showing stellar performance. Son Joo-young (27), who started the game as the second starter, pitched a 2.77 ERA in two games, securing two wins. Lim Chan-kyu (33), the fourth starting pitcher, won his first shutout game in 14 years since his professional debut in 2011 at the match against Hanwha on April 26. Song Seung-ki (23), who had never started a game before this year, 스포츠토토 also gave a surprise performance by allowing no runs in seven innings at the match against Hanwha on April 27. "It was a pitch that gave hope to our team members and fans," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop also praised Song for his good pitching.
