LG Twins Secure Thrilling Come-From-Behind Win Over Doosan Bears in Jamsil Rivalry

The LG Twins clinched a thrilling victory over their Jamsil rivals, the Doosan Bears, in the ongoing series between the two teams.

On August 7 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, the LG Twins edged out the Doosan Bears 4-3 in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League matchup. With this win, LG took the lead in the midweek three-game series with two wins and one loss.

Doosan dominated the early innings. In the second inning, Park Jun-soon reached base with a single to left. Kang Seung-ho followed up with a hit, and Kim Min-seok drove in the first run with a single to right. However, Doosan failed to capitalize on additional scoring chances, allowing the momentum to shift.

LG mounted their comeback in the fourth inning, taking advantage of Kwak Bin’s control issues. After consecutive walks loaded the bases with two outs, Shin Min-jae cleared the bases with a double, driving in three runs and turning the game around. Doosan answered in the fifth with Park Jun-soon’s RBI single and tied the score 3-3 in the sixth with Lee Yoo-chan’s sacrifice fly, but could not regain the lead.

The deciding moment came in the seventh. Shin Min-jae singled up the middle and eventually crossed home plate thanks to Moon Bo-gyeong’s single to right and Kim Hyun-soo’s grounder to second, putting LG back in front at 4-3.

Closer Yoo Young-chan sealed the win for LG. Taking the mound in the ninth inning, Yoo retired Jung Soo-bin, Lee Yoo-chan, and Jake Cave in order, earning his 13th save of the season. With this appearance, Yoo Young-chan improved his personal record to two wins and one loss.

Shin Min-jae was the game’s standout, going 2-for-5 with 3 RBIs. Kim Hyun-soo contributed, recording one hit and one RBI in two at-bats. The bullpen, including Kim Jin-sung (two scoreless innings), Lee Jung-yong (one scoreless inning), and closer Yoo Young-chan (one scoreless inning), delivered strong performances to support the team’s victory.
