Kim Tae-kyun, who is 94th overall in the 10th round of the 2025 Rookie Draft, showed good pitching by striking out six, although he lost the game.

He allowed six walks to leadoff hitter Yoo Kang-nam, five walks to subsequent Kim Min-sung, and a straight walk to Lee Ho-joon, respectively, putting him on the verge of loading the bases with no outs. Here, Jang Doo-sung hit a timely hit. However, after the next batter Han Tae-yang hit a double play in front of the pitcher, even Roh Jin-hyuk hit a ground ball to the first base, failing to score additional points.

Doosan scored two more runs in the fourth inning. With Lotte changing the pitcher from Kim Tae-kyun to Kyoyama, Cameron walked the seventh pitch after one out. Yang Seok-hwan then struck out, but Ahn Jae-seok hit a timely double in left-center and Oh Myung-jin hit a timely hit in left-center to run 4-1. Since then, Doosan has kept the lead well with the bullpen spraying its own ball.
