Doosan won 1-0 in an away game against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 1st. Doosan won three games in a row and recorded 54 wins, two draws and 50 losses
On the previous day (July 30), Doosan's batting lineup burned to an all-time high. He recorded 28 hits, including four homers, and scored 30 points to win 30-6. 30 points is the most in KBO league history. In addition, it was the game with the largest score difference of 24 points.
The game was completely different from a day ago. He was blocked by KIA ace James Nail's good pitching, so he could hardly connect to the score. Doosan hit a total of eight hits on the day. However, except for scoring due to an opponent's error in the top of the sixth inning, he failed to score a point in nine innings.
If the firepower shone the previous day, the mound held out this time. Starting pitcher Jodeok Balazovic scored six scoreless innings in six ⅔, followed by Lee Byung-hun (⅓ innings), Hong Gun-hee (⅓ innings scoreless), and Kim Taek-yeon (one ⅔ scoreless inning). In particular, closer Kim Taek-yeon came to the first and second bases with one out in the eighth inning and struck out both Kim Do-young and Socrates to overcome the crisis.
Doosan eventually won 1-0 and swept all three consecutive games against KIA.

Manager Lee continued "The bullpen pitchers who took the mound afterwards also maintained a one-run lead and completed the winning streak. I especially applaud closer Kim Taek-yeon. Despite the burden of a narrow lead, he made a save with his unique bold pitchingThe fielders also showed amazing defensive concentration and relieved the pitchers' burden.
Doosan will play three consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes in Jamsil, its home, from the 2nd. Manager Lee said, `The flow of the game was different yesterday and today, but the fans' support was consistent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I'll do my best to show you a good game at home" he said.
