The starting pitcher was Colerbin.
Oh Won-seok pitched like the first starter in KT manager Lee Kang-chul's mind. He earned his seventh win (two losses) of the season by pitching 84 pitches, seven hits, one out, three strikeouts, and one run in six innings. He mainly threw fastballs (44) and changeups (26) and mixed sliders (8) and curves (6). The maximum fastball speed was 146km.
From the seventh inning, Woo Kyu-min (1 run in 1 inning), Lee Sang-dong (1 inning), and Soju (1 inning) continued to throw to keep the victory.
Ahn Hyun-min's performance was outstanding in the lineup. He had three hits and five RBIs in five at-bats, including his first grand slam. Ahn Hyun-min's record for most RBIs in a single game. Rojas was 4 for 5 with 1 RBI, and Jang Jin-hyuk, who played as a pinch hitter, played 1 for 3 with 1 hit, 1 walk, and 3 RBIs.
Rojas broke the 0-0 balance in the bottom of the third inning. Rojas hit a timely hit to make it 1-0 with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. At this time, second baseman Hwang Jae-kyun injured his left hamstring and was replaced while sprinting home for the first score.
KT ran away 3-0 further in the bottom of the fourth inning. Huh Kyung-min and Kim Sang-soo drew consecutive walks thanks to Doosan starter Colerbin's shaky control. Kwon Dong-jin's sacrifice bunt made it to the second and third bases with one out, and Hwang Jae-kyun's pinch hitter Jang Jin-hyuk hit a timely two-run hit to the right.
Oh Won-seok allowed Doosan to counterattack in the top of the fifth inning. Leading hitter Kang Seung-ho stole second base after getting on base with a hit to the right. He was then chased 3-1 by Im Jong-sung after receiving a timely hit to the middle field.

KT calmly watched the changed pitcher Ko Hyo-joon's ball and connected it to a big inning. Jang Jin-hyuk got a pushout walk and ran 5-1, and third baseman Huh Kyung-min scored on Ko Hyo-joon's wild pitch in the two-out bases-loaded walk to make it 6-1. Ahn Hyun-min hit a grand slam over the left-hand side, quickly widening the distance to 10-1 while Bae Jeong-dae got another walk and loaded the bases with two outs. At the ball count of 1B2S, I properly rolled up the slider on the fourth pitch.
Doosan followed a run in the top of the seventh inning. Leading hitter Kang Seung-ho lost a double to the changed pitcher Woo Kyu-min, and scored when Choo Jae-hyun grounded out to shortstop on the third base with one out to make it 10-2.
KT completely quelled Doosan's pursuit in the bottom of the seventh inning. After one out, Bae Jeong-dae opened with a double to the left-center, and Ahn Hyun-min hit a timely hit to the right to run 11-2. At that time, Ahn Hyun-min set a new five-run record, the most in a single game, and was replaced by pinch runner Kim Byung-joon. Later, with two outs and a runner on first base, Cho Dae-hyun hit a timely double to right-center to seal the 12-2 victory.
Meanwhile, Doosan starter Colerbin lost his fifth game (five wins) of the season in four ⅔ innings as he collapsed with 91 pitches, seven hits, six outs, two strikeouts and seven runs (six earned runs). Doosan expected Colerbin to be the first starter and recruited him for $1 million (about 1.3 billion won), but he is pitching below expectations due to poor control in each game, causing Doosan to twist its calculation.
