Samsung had the last laugh in the Daegu Samsung Lions-LG Twins game that drew attention as a "sneak peek at the Korean Series."

Samsung beat LG 7-2 in a home game on Apr. 18 behind a locked-in lineup. Since the game against the NC Dinos in Daegu on the 10th, it has surged to seven straight wins. Zack O'Loughlin was ejected for a head-shot, complicating mound management, but the elite bullpen combined for shutout relief. By contrast, LG starter Lim Chan-kyu, who showed strength against Samsung last year with a 3-0 record and a 2.74 ERA, bowed his head after allowing his most runs in a single game this season.
