The Samsung Lions, led by Won Tae-in who pitched a perfect 7 innings, exacted revenge on the Kiwoom Heroes by sweeping the three-game series they had lost in April.

On the 2nd, Samsung defeated Kiwoom 6-0 in the final game of the midweek three-game series at the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League' held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park. Samsung built a 3-0 lead in the first inning and held on to secure the victory.

With this win, Samsung extended its winning streak to four games, capturing all three midweek matchups against Kiwoom. This served as revenge for the weekend sweep at Gochok Sky Dome from April 24 to April 26. Meanwhile, Kiwoom fell into a four-game losing slump.

Samsung's lineup for the day featured Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Kim Sung-yoon (right fielder), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Diaz (first baseman), Park Seung-kyu (left fielder), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Jeon Byeong-woo (third baseman), Park Gye-beom (shortstop), and Kim Do-hwan (catcher). The starting pitcher was right-hander Won Tae-in.

Kiwoom countered with a lineup of Park Ju-hong (right fielder), Ju Seong-won (designated hitter), An Chi-hong (second baseman), Choi Ju-hwan (first baseman), Im Byeong-wook (left fielder), Yang Hyeon-jong (third baseman), Kim Geon-hee (catcher), Kwon Hyuk-bin (shortstop), and Park Soo-jong (center fielder). Left-hander Park Jeong-hoon started on the mound for Kiwoom.

Samsung also took the early lead. In the bottom of the first inning, Samsung's leadoff batter Kim Ji-chan drew a walk. Although Kim Sung-yoon and Choi Hyung-woo both made outs, Diaz hit a two-run double off the right-field wall with two outs, putting Samsung ahead 1-0. Following Park Seung-kyu's single to left field, Ryu Ji-hyuk added a two-run double to left-center, extending the lead to 3-0.

In the bottom of the second inning, Samsung increased its lead to 4-0. After one out, Kim Do-hwan hit a double to left-center, and Choi Hyung-woo followed with a sacrifice fly to right field. In the bottom of the seventh, Samsung sealed the game. After Kim Do-hwan's single to left field and Kim Ji-chan's infield single to shortstop created a bases-empty, one-out situation with runners on first and second, Choi Hyung-woo drew an intentional walk to load the bases. Diaz then drew a bases-loaded walk, and Park Seung-kyu hit a sacrifice fly to right field, making the score 6-0.

Kiwoom was completely shut down by Samsung's starting pitcher Won Tae-in. Even after Won Tae-in left the game, Kiwoom failed to score against Miyazaki and Bae Chan-seung. Won Tae-in delivered a stellar performance with 7 innings, 3 hits allowed, 6 strikeouts, 2 walks, and 0 earned runs, earning his first victory of the season in just his fifth appearance. Miyazaki and Bae Chan-seung, who followed, each pitched an inning without allowing any runs.

In the Samsung lineup, Choi Hyung-woo completed a 3-on-base game with 1 hit in 2 at-bats and 2 walks, extending his hitting streak to 14 consecutive games. Kim Do-hwan also contributed to the team's victory with 2 hits in 3 at-bats, recording his first multi-hit game of the season.
