# Breaking a 4-game losing streak to return to 2nd place LG manager Yoon Kyung-yup

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yup talks about how the team snapped a four-game losing streak with a strong performance from new foreign pitcher Eliezer Hernandez.

LG won 10-3 against Doosan in Jamsil on Aug. 8 to end a four-game losing streak. Unlike the last game, the team took the lead from the start. Hernandez pitched as expected. His steady delivery and strong command of his pitches helped him win his first game.

His pitches were varied. According to the pitch breakdown provided by Doosan, Hernandez had three fastballs: a four-seam fastball, a cut fastball, and a sinking fastball. In addition to the three fastballs, he threw seven other pitches, including a slider, sweeper, curveball, and changeup. Hernandez threw 78 pitches, allowing one run on two hits, one walk, and seven strikeouts in five innings. His fastball topped out at 150 mph. His average velocity was 147 mph.

Following Hernandez, LG's bullpen of Lee Ji-kang, Kim Jin-seong, Jung Woo-young, Kim Yu-young, Kim Young-joon, and Yoo Young-chan closed out the win.

The bats were just as hot as Hernandez's. Austin Dean went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs, including a game-winning two-run shot in the first inning. Bo-Kyung Moon tripled in the first and doubled in the fifth. In total, he went 3-for-5 with two RBIs. Leadoff hitter Hong Chang-ki, who struggled the day before, had two hits, one walk and two RBIs. Shin Min-jae, the No. 2 hitter, had one hit and one walk. Oh Ji-hwan, who has been hitting well of [카지노사이트](https://www.outlookindia.com/plugin-play/2023년-한국을-대표하는-카지노-사이트-best-10-news-326663) late, continued his hot streak with one hit, two RBIs and one walk.

After the game, Dye said, "Congratulations to Hernandez on his first KBO win. The first game of the league is important, and Hernandez got off to a good start. I think it's good that we have a good atmosphere to look forward to."

"He had a good mix of pitches, a sweeper to righties and a slider to lefties. He pitched five innings within the expected 70-80 pitches and did a good job," said Kim. "In the middle of the inning, Jin-sung made a good save to keep the momentum going."

With the bases loaded, Kim struck out big hitters Yang Seok-hwan and Kim Jae-hwan to end the inning, giving him his 20th hold of the season. He now has 120 career holds.

"Austin's leadoff home run set the tone for the entire game. When we needed extra runs, I want to praise the players for staying focused and scoring runs one after another."

"We were able to break the losing streak and win thanks to the fans who supported us hard during the four-game losing streak. Thank you," and thanked the 16,321 fans who attended Jamsil Stadium.

With the win, LG improved its season record to 55 wins, 48 losses, and two ties. Samsung lost to Hanwha and moved back into second place a day later.

LG announced Im Chan-kyu as the starting pitcher against the Jamsil NC on April 9. For NC, Eric Yokishi will make his KBO debut.
