KIA Tigers started to solidify their lead with six consecutive wins.

KIA won 4-2 against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 11th. With two sacrifice flies and Kim Sun-bin's timely hit with the bases loaded with no outs in the top of the first inning, he kept the lead he took. Starter Cam Aldred pitched six ⅔ innings with one hit, two walks and nine strikeouts, and the bullpen, which took the mound in relief, continued its 0 march. KIA, which beat LG consecutively from the 9th to the 10th, cheered by winning the first three consecutive games in the second half. 51 wins, 2 draws and 33 losses in season history. LG's starter Lim Chan-kyu pitched well with three runs in six innings, but the lineup, which has recently fallen into a slump, failed to revive and fell into a nightmare of a sweep loss at home. The season record was 46 wins, 2 draws and 41 losses.

KIA, which booked the Winning Series, gained momentum from the first inning.

Socrates, the leadoff hitter, opened the scoring with a hit to the middle field, and even stole a base, taking a chance to second base with no outs. Choi Won-joon hit a grounder to the pitcher, but Lim Chan-kyu chose Socrates, not Choi Won-joon, and Choi Won-joon also settled on first base as the second base throw was declared safe. On top of that, KIA, which loaded the bases with no outs as Kim Do-young made an infield hit with a surprise bunt, easily scored two points as Choi Hyung-woo and Na Sung-bum's sacrifice fly continued. In the second base with two outs that led to Kim Do-young's success in stealing, Kim Sun-bin made a timely hit to the left, leading 3-0.

After that, KIA got an additional point chance with Kim Sun-bin's left-field double after one out in the top of the fourth inning, but failed to make a follow-up hit. In the top of the fifth inning, Choi Won-joon and Kim Do-young's consecutive hits gave him a chance to get first and second bases with two outs, but Choi Hyung-woo struck out and left a regret.

Aldred completely blocked LG's batters until the fifth inning. After finishing the first inning with KKK, he continued his three-and-out innings until the fourth inning by mixing various pitches such as pitch, change-up, and sweeper. He allowed Park Dong-won to walk after one out in the fifth inning, allowing his first on-base hit in 14 batters, but he finished the inning with three batters by dealing with Oh Ji-hwan's double play to the third baseman in the ensuing at-bat.

LG's runner got on base again with Song Chan's walk after one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, but Park Hae-min's fly ball and Hong Chang-ki's strikeout failed to create a way out. At the bottom of the seventh inning, Austin succeeded in making the team's first hit, but Moon Bo-kyung only grounded out, and even Park Dong-won bowed his head as he struck out Jang Hyun-sik, who took the mound in relief.

KIA's leadoff hitter Choi Won-joon got on base with a left-center hit against LG Lee Sang-young in the top of the eighth inning. Choi Won-joon succeeded in stealing both bases and settled on third base, and Choi Hyung-woo walked on base, and when Na Sung-beom grounded out to second base, Choi Won-joon homered and KIA ran 4-0.

KIA put Choi Ji-min on the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning, while Jang Hyun-sik took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning. When Choi Ji-min allowed a hit to Hong Chang-ki following a walk to the first batter, KIA put Jeon Sang-hyun back on the mound. Although Moon Sung-joo stepped down due to a double play by the second baseman, Park Dong-won hit a timely hit to the left in the first and third bases with two outs, following Kim Do-young's error when Austin grounded out with two outs and third base, which led to Moon Bo-kyung's hit. LG had a chance to finish with two outs and a full base with Oh Ji-hwan walking on base, but Jeon Sang-hyun caught the last out count against Koo Bon-hyuk and ended the game with a two-run victory.
