LG defeated the Hanwha Eagles by a score of 4-0 in the home game of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Mar. 26. Since the opening game against the Lotte Giants on Mar. 22, LG has won all of its home games since then, continuing its four-game winning streak.

LG's opening four consecutive wins are the first in three years since 2022 when it recorded its opening five consecutive wins.

The hero of the game was Lim Chan-gyu, who achieved the first shutout victory in his professional career. In his 14th year since joining the pro league in 2011, Lim has completely blocked the Hanwha Eagles by allowing only two hits during nine innings.

It is the first time in two years and nine months that a Korean pitcher has won a shutout since Ko Young-pyo of the KT Wiz on June 11, 2022. Last year, only four foreign pitchers recorded shutouts in the KBO League, and no shutout pitchers came out at all in 2023.

Lim allowed Noh to hit in the fourth inning with two outs. Afterwards, he gave up his second hit (double) to Chae after the seventh inning with two outs, but managed to completely block all other innings. Notably, he handled the eighth and ninth innings neatly with three outs.

LG's offense got the first run in the bottom of the third inning with Shin Min-jae's hit and steal, Hong Chang-ki's infield grounder and Moon Sung-joo's sacrifice fly. In the fourth inning, fourth batter Moon Bo-kyung hit his third homer of the season over the center fence to score an additional run.

In the sixth inning, LG added one more point with Park Hae-min's bunt hit, opponent's error, and Shin Min-jae's timely hit, and with two outs and runners on first and second bases, Moon Sung-joo's timely hit to lead the game 4-0.

Hanwha's rising star Um Sang-baek became a losing pitcher with six hits and two runs in four ⅔ innings in his first appearance after being acquired for four years and 7.8 billion won this season.

Meanwhile, LG sold out in four consecutive games from the opening game to the day. This is LG's first time to have a full attendance for four consecutive games since 2001 when the figures were computed. LG has continued its four-game winning streak thanks to enthusiastic fans' support.
