Samsung smiled in the Daegu matchup between the Samsung Lions and the LG Twins that drew interest as a "preview of the Korean Series."

Samsung beat LG 7-2 at home on the 18th behind a locked-in lineup. It has ripped off seven straight wins since the game against the NC Dinos in Daegu on the 10th. Jack O'Laughlin was ejected for a head-shot, making mound management difficult, but the elite bullpen combined for a shutout. Meanwhile, LG starter Im Chan-kyu, who went 3-0 with a 2.74 ERA against Samsung last year, bowed his head after allowing his most runs in a game this season.
