Samsung Lions shortstop Lee Jae-hyun was absent from the starting lineup for the second consecutive day.

Samsung will play Game 7 of the season against the KIA Tigers in the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 25th. Samsung aims for the winning series with Korean ace Won Tae-in on the 24th, while balancing the series with 1 win and 1 loss with an 8-4 victory.

Samsung made the starting lineup with Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Kang Min-ho (fosu), Park Seung-gyu (left wing), and Yang Yang-geun (striker). The main players of the previous day's victory will be used as they are. Only Ryu Ji-hyuk and Kang Min-ho exchanged batting orders. Ryu Ji-hyuk, who was active with two hits and three RBIs, was forward-deployed to No. 6.




Lee Jae-hyun seeks another chance to play in the second half on the bench. Lee Jae-hyun injured his pelvis while rushing home from third base when Kim Sung-yoon hit a fly ball to left field in the seventh inning with one out and runners on first and third bases against KIA on the 23rd. It wasn't enough to be removed from the entry right away, but it needed management.

Samsung coach Park Jin-man said ahead of the game on the 24th, "(Lee) Jae-hyun will have to prepare in the second half if it becomes an urgent situation. So there is a change on the shortstop side. I'm on the pelvis side, so I think I'll have to take a day off today and see the situation tomorrow. It is too early to make a judgment in a day.

Lee Jae-hyun played as a pinch hitter on the 24th and did his part 100%. After falling behind 3-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning, he played as a pinch hitter for leadoff hitter Park Seung-gyu and got on base with an infield hit to the left of the shortstop. He made a short hit even when his pelvis was not good, and he finished his mission by replacing Lee Sung-kyu, a pinch runner. Thanks to this, Samsung was able to balance 4-4 by scoring thanks to Kim Sung-yoon's infield hit to the right side of the pitcher and KIA pitcher Jeon Sang-hyun's throwing error to the first base in the second base opportunity with two outs, and to win by driving once more by scoring four runs in the eighth inning.




Won Tae-in will try to win the starting title in five games. Since his third win of the season against KIA on the 24th of last month, he has lost only two games in four games. Even though all four games recorded quality starts or quality starts+, Seung-woon did not follow. Won Tae-in is 3-2 with 56 innings and a 2.57 ERA in nine games this season.
