Choi Min-seok, the win leader who set out to hunt for his 10th victory, was hit hard by the ninth curse.

The 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League Doosan Bears vs. Samsung Lions game was held on the 24th at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium.
Doosan starting pitcher Choi Min-seok collapsed after pitching 2⅔ innings (72 pitches), allowing 7 hits, issuing 4 walks, recording 1 strikeout, and surrendering 10 runs (4 earned), taking on his third loss of the season.




This was the first time this season that Choi Min-seok, who had previously pitched at least four innings in all 17 prior starts, was pulled out in the third inning. The 10 runs allowed also marks a personal season high for him.
