KIA completely defeated the second-place Samsung Lions. KIA beat Samsung 5-3 at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 23rd. In the batting lineup, Kim Do-young hit a leadoff batter home run in the bottom of the first inning, his 38th shot of the season, and he was close to the 40-40 record as he succeeded in stealing 40 bases. Yoon Do-hyun also helped by playing a three-hit game. On the mound, Yoon Young-chul, who returned from a spinal fatigue fracture injury, pitched three innings of one hit, two strikeouts and no runs, and the bullpen also contributed to the victory by pitching at least a run. With the victory, KIA recorded 84 wins, two draws and 53 losses. Samsung held out Lee Seung-min with two runs in four innings, while Hwang Dong-jae, who had been expected to start the day, was replaced by shoulder pain, but he bowed his head as the batters remained silent. Samsung's season record was 77 wins, two draws and 62 losses.
