Having lost a franchise-worst 12 straight games, the SSG Landers will try to snap out of their funk during their six-game home stand this week.
The Landers have not won since May 16. They were in fourth place in the 10-team Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) then, with a 22-18-1 (wins-losses-ties) record that put them only two games out of first place.
Then the free fall happened. Following a 6-2 loss to the Hanwha Eagles on Sunday, the Landers are in eighth place at 22-30-1, now 10 1/2 games back of the first-place LG Twins and just three games up on the last-place Kiwoom Heroes.
The Landers lost 20 games in May to tie for the second most losses in a month in league history.
