Doosan Bears secured a thrilling two-game winning streak against SSG Landers, becoming the hero of the winning series.

On the 10th, Doosan defeated SSG 3-1 in a regular-season home game at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium as part of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.

Doosan had lost 1-4 on the 8th but won 9-4 the previous day (9th). With today's victory, they achieved a 2-1 winning series. Doosan now holds 17 wins, 1 tie, and 19 losses, needing just two more wins to reach a .500 winning percentage. Meanwhile, SSG stands at 19 wins, 1 tie, and 16 losses.

Doosan's starting pitcher Jack Log pitched 6⅓ innings, allowing 6 hits, 1 hit-by-pitch, 5 strikeouts, and 1 earned run, securing his third win (2 losses) of the season. Following him, Lee Byung-hun (⅔ inning), Park Chi-guk (⅓ inning), and Lee Young-ha (1⅔ innings) each pitched scoreless innings in succession, preserving the team's victory. The offense recorded a total of 4 hits.

In contrast, SSG's starting pitcher Choi Min-jun pitched 2 innings, allowing 3 hits and 3 walks without recording a single strikeout, while giving up 3 runs (2 earned), taking on the burden of defeat. This marked his second loss of the season (1 win). Following him, Moon Seung-won (2 innings), Kim Min (1 inning), Lee Run (1 inning), Noh Gyeong-eun (1 inning), and Jo Byung-hyun (1 inning) each pitched scoreless innings in succession. However, their efforts were overshadowed by the team's loss. SSG managed a total of 7 hits.

For today's game, Doosan set its starting lineup as follows: Park Chan-ho (shortstop), Park Ji-hoon (third baseman), Park Jun-soon (second baseman), Daz Cameron (right fielder), Kim Min-seok (left fielder), Hong Seong-ho (designated hitter), Jung Soobin (center fielder), Yoon Jun-ho (catcher), and Oh Myung-jin (first baseman). The starting pitcher was foreign ace Jack Log.

In response, SSG arranged its starting lineup as follows: An Sang-hyun (shortstop), Jung Jun-jae (second baseman), Choi Jung (third baseman), Heredia (left fielder), Oh Tae-gon (first baseman), Chae Hyun-woo (right fielder), Ryu Hyo-seung (designated hitter), Jo Hyung-woo (catcher), and Choi Ji-hoon (center fielder). The starting pitcher was Choi Min-jun.

Doosan took the lead in the bottom of the 2nd inning. Leadoff batter Hong Seong-ho reached base with a left-field single. After one out, Yoon Jun-ho also singled to left field. Following walks from Foil and Oh Myung-jin, Doosan faced a one-out, bases-loaded situation. Park Chan-ho then hit a sacrifice fly to right field, allowing Hong Seong-ho, who was on third base, to score. Simultaneously, an error by the opposing first baseman on the throw allowed Yoon Jun-ho, who was on second base, to score as well.

In the 3rd inning, Doosan extended its lead by one run with a powerful hit. Leadoff batter Park Jun-soon hit a solo home run that cleared the left-field wall.

On this day, Choi Jung entered the batter's box in the top of the 6th inning with one out, successfully achieving the milestone of 10,000 career at-bats, a first in KBO history.

Pressured by Doosan's starting pitcher Jack Log's strong performance, SSG finally scored in the top of the 7th inning. Leadoff batter Chae Hyun-woo reached base with a double that landed just inside the left-field line. Ryu Hyo-seung grounded out to third base. The next batter was Jo Hyung-woo. At this point, Doosan removed Jack Log and brought in Lee Byung-hun. Against Lee Byung-hun, Jo Hyung-woo hit a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring a run. However, Choi Ji-hoon struck out swinging, and pinch-hitter Park Sung-han was thrown out on a fly ball to left field, preventing any further scoring.

SSG seized a golden opportunity in the 8th inning. Facing the reliever Park Chi-guk, Jung Jun-jae drew a walk on the eighth pitch. Choi Jung struck out, but Heredia reached base on a hit-by-pitch on the seventh pitch. Doosan then made a strategic move by bringing in closer Lee Young-ha. As soon as Lee Young-ha took the mound, he recorded Oh Tae-gon out on a foul fly to first base. Next, pinch-hitter Kim Jae-hwan entered the game. Booing erupted from the cheering section near first base at Jamsil Stadium, where Doosan fans had gathered. Lee Young-ha then issued a straight fastball walk to Kim Jae-hwan, loading the bases. SSG then sent pinch-hitter Choi Jun-woo to bat for the subsequent runner Ryu Hyo-seung. Choi Jun-woo attacked the first pitch, and the ball flew quickly toward the pitcher. Lee Young-ha caught the ball cleanly with his glove on the first attempt, recording the final out and closing the inning.

Ultimately, Lee Young-ha, who took the mound again in the 9th inning, retired the SSG lineup in order, securing the save and sealing the victory for his team.
