Samsung laughed in the Daegu Samsung Lions-LG Twins game that drew interest as a "preview of the Korea Series."

Samsung beat LG 7-2 in a home game on the 18th behind locked-in hitting. On the 10th in Daegu against the NC Dinos, they began a run that is now seven straight wins. Jack O'Loughlin was ejected for a head shot, making mound management difficult, but the elite bullpen combined for no runs. By contrast, LG starter Im Chan-kyu, who was dominant against Samsung last year with a 3-0 record and a 2.74 ERA, bowed his head after allowing his most runs in a game this season.
