The Doosan Bears capped off their three-game weekend series with a victory, led by starter Kwak Bin's scoreless outing. The manager praised not only Kwak Bin but also the position players across the board.

On the 26th, Doosan secured a decisive 7-0 win over Samsung in their home game at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium as part of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season.

Following a heavy 4-15 loss to Samsung on the first day of the weekend series on the 24th, Doosan suffered another defeat, 1-4, on the 25th, falling into a two-game losing streak. However, today's victory laid the groundwork for a rebound next week.

With a record of 48 wins, 3 ties, and 44 losses, Doosan firmly maintained its sole fifth-place position in the league. On the same day, they narrowed the gap with fourth-place KIA Tigers, who lost to Kiwoom Heroes, by one game. The gap with sixth-place Hanwha Eagles remained at 2.5 games.

Today, Doosan's starter Kwak Bin delivered an outstanding scoreless performance over six innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out eight batters (including one hit-by-pitch), securing his ninth win of the season.

Kwak Bin threw a season-high 113 pitches in today's game. His previous record was 109 pitches, set on June 9 against Lotte Giants at Sajik and on June 20 against LG Twins at Jamsil. His career single-game high is 119 pitches, recorded on September 20, 2022, against NC Dinos at Jamsil.

Following Kwak Bin, Jeong Kim-woo, Kim Taek-yeon, and Lee Young-ha each pitched one inning. In the lineup that generated ten hits, Severino, Yang Eui-ji, Kim Min-seok, and Ahn Jae-seok all delivered multi-hit performances.

Doosan took an early 2-0 lead in the fourth inning thanks to a sacrifice fly by Yang Eui-ji and a two-run double by Ahn Jae-seok. In the sixth inning, Kim Min-seok's single to left field scored two runners after a throwing error by Koo Ja-wook extended the lead to 4-0. Ultimately, Doosan sealed the 7-0 victory with Yang Eui-ji's two-run double in the eighth inning and Ahn Jae-seok's sacrifice fly to center field.

After the game, "winning manager" Kim Won-hyung of Doosan specifically mentioned all nine players by name. He praised the pitching staff, saying, "Starter Kwak Bin delivered ace-level pitching. He threw over 110 pitches and gave his all until the final out. Following him, relievers Jeong Kim-woo, Kim Taek-yeon, and Lee Young-ha each responsibly held their innings."

He continued, "In a game where an early lead is crucial, captain Yang Eui-ji demonstrated clutch ability in the fourth inning and also contributed valuable RBIs in the eighth. In the sixth, Kim Min-seok swung aggressively from the first pitch. Additionally, Park Jun-soon scored thanks to his aggressive base running."

Finally, Manager Kim added, "Severino's multi-hit performance shows he is gradually adapting to the KBO League, which is encouraging," while also praising Park Chan-ho for consistently leading the infield with several outstanding defensive plays.
