There are only two and a half games between third and seventh places. SSG Landers are now going into an all-out war.

SSG will play the first game of the weekday series against the Lotte Giants at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 30th. Kim Kwang-hyun of SSG and Yoon Sung-bin of Lotte will start as the eighth-year prospect.

SSG won three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears over the weekend, setting the stage for a leap to the top. In the process, must-win group Noh Kyung-eun and closing pitcher Moon Seung-won joined the team in three consecutive games.

"Sunday was the first three consecutive games," said SSG coach Lee Sung-yong, who met before the game. Before the season, he announced that he would not play three consecutive games in the first half, and now he said, "July-August is the place to win."

Noh Kyung-eun and Cho Byung-hyun are tied for second place (53 games) in the number of games played this year, and Han Doo-sol, who is beneficial, is ranked 10th (47 games). The number of games played by key bullpens is not small.

However, head coach Lee Soo-yong said, `Moon Seung-won and Noh Kyung would never have achieved a grade this year if it weren't for Cho Byung-hyun, Lee Won-eun and Han Doo-sol. He was in good condition and showed the best performance"And yet "I made sure the players took care of their bodies" showed confidence.

"The bullpen suffered a lot as the starting lineup was shaken this year. Still, he never asked me to play three consecutive games. I gave the training part full power. I also put up with it and came this far. From the beginning of the second half 'Let's go to third place now. Winning games are all-out." It is time to take responsibility. The players have a mindset, and veterans are coming forward, so thank you as a coach."

The problem with SSG is that key starters like Elias and Kim Kwang-hyun cannot play their roles. He even smiled bitterly, saying, "Song Young-jin and Oh Won-seok seem to be more stable these days."

In the case of Kim Kwang-hyun, he was effective in controlling his speed through curves against Doosan on the 28th. The ERA was also lowered to the early five-point range. Manager Lee Sung-yong stressed that the efficiency of the fastball has increased as the ball combination has changed.

Then "(Drew)Anderson also gained a sense of stability, and Kwang-hyun is also coming up. Elias is the key, and other players have filled in for their father"While looking back, he urged key starters to work harder.
