Doosan Bears aim for a winning series in the three-game weekend matchup against Kiwoom Heroes.

Doosan will face Kiwoom at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 30th at 6 p.m. for a regular-season home game in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League.

Doosan has recorded 60 wins, 52 losses, and 4 draws this season, standing alone in fifth place in the league. They trail fourth-place LG Twins and third-place KIA Tigers by 2.5 games.

For today's game, Doosan set its starting lineup as follows: Park Chan-ho (shortstop), An Jae-seok (third baseman), Park Jun-soon (second baseman), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Kim Min-seok (designated hitter), Severino (first baseman), Kim Daehun (right fielder), Jo Suhaeng (left fielder), and Jung Soobin (center fielder). Starting pitcher is Choi Min-seok.

Compared to the previous day (29th), the batters from first to sixth in the lineup remain unchanged. However, instead of Yang Eui-ji catching as the starting catcher, Kim Min-seok will bat as the designated hitter.

Jung Soobin, who was batting seventh the previous day, has moved down to ninth. Meanwhile, Kim Daehun, who batted eighth the previous day, has moved up to seventh. Jo Suhaeng takes over the left field position that Kim Min-seok occupied the previous day. An Jae-seok, who hit multiple home runs and three hits the previous day, bats second again as he did the day before.

Doosan secured a 7-2 victory the previous day with native ace Kwak Bin on the mound. If they win today, they will achieve a "two wins, unbeaten" winning series.
