"Won Tae-in overcame it on his own."
The Samsung Lions won four consecutive games as they won a big victory over the No. 1 LG Twins, keeping their fourth place, signaling a green light to advance to the fifth round.
Samsung scored a 14-4 victory in an away game against LG in Jamsil on the 20th, with Lee Jae-hyun, a top hitter, hitting four hits and three RBIs, and Kim Young-woong and Lee Sung-kyu hitting two-run homers. Samsung, which broke its four-game losing streak against LG, has recently won four consecutive games and maintained its fourth place with 69 wins, two draws and 65 losses. It maintained a 1.5 game gap with the winning third-place SSG, and also maintained a 1.5 game gap with the fifth-place KT, which beat the second-place Hanwha. Lotte, which was tied for fifth place, lost on the day and went down to sixth place, but moved away by 2.5 games.
Samsung formed the starting lineup with Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (left wing), Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Park Byung-ho (designated hitter), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Kang Min-ho (captor), and Kim Ji-chan (middle fielder). Samsung manager Park Jin-man explained that Lee Jae-hyun is a top hitter due to his good batting sense recently. And Lee Jae-hyun explained the effect of going into No. 1 as separating Kim Ji-chan and Kim Sung-yoon seems to be easier to steal bases from each other.
For Samsung, Won Tae-in stepped up. He pitched in three games against LG and had a very good performance with two wins and no losses with a 2.50 ERA.
