Samsung smiled in the Daegu Samsung Lions–LG Twins game that drew attention as a "preview of the Korean Series."

Samsung beat LG 7-2 in a home game on the 18th, led by the lineup's focus at the plate. A seven-game winning streak since the game against the NC Dinos in Daegu on the 10th. Jack O'Loughlin was ejected for a head-shot, making mound management difficult, but the elite bullpen combined for shutout relief. Meanwhile, LG starter Lim Chan-kyu, who had dominated Samsung last year with a 3-0 record and a 2.74 ERA, hung his head after allowing his most runs in a single game this season.
