Doosan Bears succeeded in escaping consecutive losses amid good pitching of 'Ace'.

Doosan won the away game against the Lotte Giants 3-2 at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 18th.

Doosan escaped from three consecutive losses and recorded 49 wins, two draws and 44 losses all season. Lotte stopped its two-game winning streak. It was the 47th loss (38 wins and 3 draws) of the season.

On this day, Doosan formed the starting lineup in the order of Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Heo Kyung-min (third baseman), Henry Ramos (right fielder), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Jeon Min-jae (striker), and Kim Ki-yeon (catcher).

For Lotte, Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Victor Reyes (left fielder), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Choi Hang (third baseman), Park Seung-wook (striker), and Information Geun (catcher) started.

There was a good fight between the 'domestic ace' and the 'domestic ace'. Doosan starter Kwak Bin allowed two hits (one homer) with four outs, two strikeouts, and two runs in seven innings. Lotte starter Park Se-woong threw 103 pitches in eight innings, leaving four hits (one homer) with nine strikeouts and three runs.

From the first inning, they exchanged home runs at the centerline. In the top of the first inning, both Ramos and Kim Jae-hwan struck out after hits by leadoff hitters Jung Soo-bin and Huh Kyung-min. Yang Seok-hwan then hit Park Se-woong's slider and crossed the left fence. Yang Seok-hwan's 21st home run of the season.

Lotte also responded with a home run. After one out, Ko Seung-min got on base with an infield hit, and Jeon Joon-woo hit Kwak Bin's fastball in the middle without missing it and over the left-center fence. Jeon Jun-woo's 11th home run of the season.

Since then, the starting pitcher's good pitching show has been held. Kwak Bin used 'PeachCom' for the first time on this day. He erased the inning in quick breath with Kim Ki-yeon.

He did not have any particular difficulties with Pitchcom, but Park Se-woong, who played in the existing way, also tied Doosan's batters perfectly with no runs from the second inning.

In the end, neither team scored a point except for a home run in the first inning. Doosan secured the victory by blocking Lee Young-ha and Kim Taek-yeon in one inning each after Kwak Bin played seven innings. Lotte's Park Se-woong pitched eight innings, but lost seven of the season due to the team's loss.
