Doosan Bears, led by third baseman Ahn Jae-seok (24) with his first-ever consecutive at-bat home runs in his career, defeated Kiwoom Heroes to escape a two-game losing streak.

On the 29th, Doosan won 7-2 against Kiwoom in a home game held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, during the '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League'. They scored four runs in the fifth inning alone to take control of the game.

With this victory, Doosan broke free from the two-game losing streak suffered in their away game in Suwon. Meanwhile, Kiwoom fell into a three-game losing streak.

Doosan's starting lineup for the day was Park Chan-ho (shortstop), Ahn Jae-seok (third baseman), Park Jun-soon (second baseman), Yang Ui-ji (designated hitter), Kim Min-seok (left fielder), Severino (first baseman), Jung Soobin (center fielder), Kim Daehun (right fielder), and Yoon Joon-ho (catcher). Kwak Bin was the starting pitcher.

Kiwoom countered with Seo Geon-chang (second baseman), Choo Jae-hyun (center fielder), Davison (first baseman), Hiyura (left fielder), Kim Woong-bin (third baseman), Ahn Chi-hong (designated hitter), Kim Keun-hee (catcher), Won Seong-jun (right fielder), and Kwon Hyuk-bin (shortstop) in the batting order. An Woo-jin started on the mound for Kiwoom.

Doosan took the lead first. In the bottom of the first inning, after Park Chan-ho led off with a single to left field, Ahn Jae-seok hit an RBI double down the gap between center and right field to take an early lead.

Kiwoom's counterattack was fierce. In the top of the third inning with one out, Kwon Hyuk-bin hit a double down the left-field line, followed by Seo Geon-chang's RBI triple to tie the game at 1-1. Choo Jae-hyun then added an RBI double down the right-field line to take a 2-1 lead.

Doosan staged a big inning in the bottom of the fifth to retake the lead. With two outs and no runners on base, Park Chan-ho sparked the rally with a hit up the middle. Ahn Jae-seok then launched a 125-meter two-run home run over the center-right field wall, flipping the score to 3-2.

Doosan's offense continued. After Park Jun-soon singled to left field and Yang Ui-ji and Kim Min-seok drew consecutive walks to load the bases with two outs, Severino came to the plate and hit an RBI single to left field, driving in two runners. Doosan poured in four runs in the bottom of the fifth with two outs alone, extending their lead to 5-2 and firmly seizing control of the game.

Doosan solidified their lead in the bottom of the seventh with a go-ahead home run by Ahn Jae-seok. With no runners on base in the bottom of the seventh, Ahn Jae-seok hit Kiwoom reliever Jo Young-geon's second pitch—a 145 km/h fastball—over the right-field fence for a solo home run. Recording a exit velocity of 174.2 km/h and a distance of 115 meters, this blast completed Ahn Jae-seok's ninth home run of the season and his first-ever consecutive at-bat home run, sealing the victory. It was Ahn Jae-seok's career-first consecutive at-bat home run. In the bottom of the eighth, with two outs and no runners on base, Kim Daehun added a solo home run to put a final period on the game.

In a starting pitcher showdown between two of KBO League's top right-handed fireballers, Kwak Bin emerged victorious. Kwak threw 96 pitches over six innings, allowing five hits and three walks while striking out eight batters and giving up only two earned runs in a quality start (QS) performance that firmly held the mound, securing his 11th win of the season (5 losses). In contrast, An Woo-jin struggled, pitching five innings on 78 pitches, allowing seven hits (including one home run), three walks, and striking out five batters while surrendering five earned runs, taking his seventh loss of the season (3 wins).

Ahn Jae-seok, who had been struggling mentally due to three consecutive errors in his last three games, led his team to a decisive victory with a one-man show on the day: two home runs and one double, going 3-for-4 at the plate with four RBIs. Park Chan-ho and Park Jun-soon added firepower with multi-hit performances. For Kiwoom, Kwon Hyuk-bin fought hard with a multi-hit performance but was overshadowed by the loss.
