The Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Professional Baseball League suffered their fourth consecutive loss.

Hanwha's lineup was silent, leading to a sweep by the LG Twins in a three-game series during the week, resulting in a powerless 28 innings without scoring. Foreign hitter Florial broke the 28-inning streak of scoreless innings with his first hit after 21 at-bats since the start of the season, providing some consolation.

Hanwha lost to LG 1-2 in a game held at Jamsil Stadium on the 27th.

Starting pitcher Moon Dong-joo pitched well, allowing only one hit and no walks with no runs scored through five innings, consistently throwing a top speed of 158 km/h. In the first inning, he gave up a weak infield hit to lead-off batter Hong Chang-ki but subsequently retired 16 consecutive batters.

In the sixth inning, left-hander Jo Dong-wook came in and gave up a double to Song Chan-ui with two outs, but he successfully managed the crisis with two outs and runners on first and second.

The Hanwha lineup failed to score a single run against LG's starting pitcher Song Seung-ki through the seventh inning. There were opportunities.

Hanwha's lead-off batter Lim Jong-chan created a chance with a double to left field in the third inning. After suffering two consecutive shutout losses, Hanwha attempted to score first with a sacrifice bunt, putting runners on third base with one out. However, Shim Woo-jun failed to move the runners over with a strikeout, and Kim Tae-yeon also struck out swinging, missing the chance.

In the seventh inning, after one out, Florial walked after four balls with two strikes. A wild pitch during Noh Si-hwan's at-bat advanced the runner to second base with one out. However, Noh Si-hwan grounded out to third base, and Chae Eun-sung also grounded out to the third baseman, missing another opportunity.

In the eighth inning, against the new pitcher Park Myung-keun, Hanwha's Lim Jong-chan drew a walk after one out. Choi In-ho came in as a pinch hitter, but the momentum was halted by a ground ball double play to the second baseman.

Ultimately, the mound could not hold up. Han Seung-hyuk allowed a single to Austin after getting two outs in the eighth inning. He then gave up another single to Moon Bo-kyung, creating a crisis with runners on first and third.

Pitching coach Yang Sang-moon visited the mound once before leaving. Han Seung-hyuk issued a walk to Oh Ji-hwan, creating a situation with two outs and the bases loaded. He allowed two runs with a hit to the right-center by Kim Hyun-soo.

After allowing runs, Hanwha pulled Han Seung-hyuk and brought in Kim Seo-hyun. Kim Seo-hyun finished the inning by getting Park Dong-won to ground out to the shortstop with two outs and runners on first and third.

In the 9th inning, against LG's closer Kim Gang-ryul, Hanwha's Kim Tae-yeon reached base on a walk after one out. After Moon Hyun-bin's ground out to the pitcher, there were two outs with a runner on second. Florial hit a timely single to right field, narrowing the lead by one run. It was his first hit in the KBO League debut, coming after 21 at-bats in 5 games. However, with two outs and a runner on first, Noh Si-hwan popped out to the shortstop, resulting in a one-run loss.

On the 23rd, against KT, Hanwha’s Noh Si-hwan hit a game-tying solo home run in the ninth inning. However, they were scoreless in the 10th and 11th innings, eventually losing after a walk-off double to Bae Jeong-dae in the 11th.

On the 25th, starting pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin pitched six scoreless innings against LG, but the bullpen collapsed, resulting in a 0-5 shutout loss. On the 26th, Hanwha became the victim of Im Chan-kyu's first complete game shutout. On the 27th, Moon Dong-joo, still in the process of building up his pitch count, threw longer than the planned '3 innings 50 pitches', going five innings and allowing no runs, but the team’s lineup was silent, resulting in a four-game losing streak.

Hanwha's team batting average is .129, placing them at the bottom. Despite the lineup's silence, Hanwha's starting pitchers recorded a 2.36 earned run average over five games, but they have not earned a single win. Hanwha's starting rotation is regarded as one of the best in the league. If the lineup could score some runs, there is potential for a winning streak. When will the Hanwha lineup break out?
