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, powered by the lineup's timely hitting. They have now ripped off seven straight wins since the game against the NC Dinos in Daegu on the 10th. Zack O'Loughlin was ejected for a head shot, creating difficulty in managing the mound, but the elite bullpen combined for a shutout. By contrast, LG starter Im Chan-kyu, who went 3-0 with a 2.74 ERA against Samsung last year, hung his head after allowing his most runs in a single game this season.
