While games in Busan (Samsung vs. Lotte) and Changwon (KIA vs. NC) were canceled due to extreme heat, the game at Jamsil Stadium proceeded as scheduled. Having successfully taken an early lead in the first of a three-game weekend series, Doosan Bears revealed their starting lineup for the second weekend matchup against LG Twins.

Doosan will face LG in a 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 1st at 6 p.m.

This season, Doosan has recorded 51 wins, 45 losses, and 3 ties, placing them alone in fourth place in the league. The day before, they defeated LG 4-2, narrowing the gap with third-place LG to three games.

Today, Doosan set their starting lineup as follows: Park Chan-ho (shortstop), Severino (designated hitter), Park Jun-soon (second baseman), Yang Eui-ji (designated hitter), Kim Min-seok (left fielder), Ahn Jae-seok (third baseman), Kim Daehun (right fielder), Jo Su-haeng (center fielder), and Yoon Jun-ho (catcher). The starting pitcher is Kwak Bin. LG's starting pitcher is Carlos Carasco, who will make his KBO debut against Doosan today.

Notably, Yang Eui-ji, "Doosan's undisputed fourth hitter," has returned to the starting lineup compared to yesterday (31st). Yang had missed the previous game due to a sore throat but is set to start as designated hitter today. Instead, Yoon Jun-ho will take over the catcher's mask. Additionally, Jo Su-haeng starts in center field in place of Jung Soobin.

Before the game, Doosan manager Kim Won-hyeong met with reporters regarding strategies against Carasco: "I haven't studied him in detail, but I did watch some MLB games and saw Carasco pitch. His form is very stable, and he's a handsome pitcher. He has excellent velocity and control, plus strong ability to throw breaking balls. It's rare to see a pitcher like that throwing in Korea, and I was eager to watch him myself."

The manager continued, "Of course, time has passed and he is older now, so his stuff may not be at its prime, but he is still a player who has kept playing baseball. Earning 112 wins in the MLB is truly an incredible career. I believe it's almost the best career among all foreign pitchers in KBO history."

Meanwhile, LG set their starting lineup against Doosan as follows: Hong Chang-ki (right fielder), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Jung-bin (designated hitter), Song Chan-ui (right fielder), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Gu Bon-hyeok (third baseman), Lee Ju-heon (catcher), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman).
