Samsung smiled in the Daegu Samsung Lions–LG Twins game that drew interest as a "preview of the Korean Series."
Samsung beat LG 7-2 in a home game on the 18th, riding timely hitting from its lineup. Seven straight wins since the game against the NC Dinos in Daegu on the 10th. Zack O'Loughlin was ejected for a head-shot, complicating mound management, but the elite bullpen combined for a shutout. By contrast, LG starter Im Chan-kyu, who was strong against Samsung last year with a 3-0 record and a 2.74 ERA, lowered his head after allowing his most runs in a single game this season.
