The Kiwoom Heroes claimed their 6th consecutive win, with ace Emanuel De Jesus achieving his 10th victory of the season. Kiwoom triumphed over the LG Twins 4-1 in the home game held at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 3rd, thanks to Jesus' 6 innings of scoreless pitching and the power of their top hitters. Kiwoom maintains an overwhelming advantage against LG with a 7-3 record and extended their home winning streak to five games.

LG suffered their fourth consecutive loss at Gocheok. They have lost all three matches against Jesus, scoring only 1 run over 19 innings, continuing their nightmare against Kiwoom and Jesus.

Kiwoom's starting lineup consisted of Lee Ju-hyung (RF), Ronnie Dawson (DH), Kim Hye-sung (2B), Song Sung-moon (3B), Choi Joo-hwan (1B), Lee Yong-kyu (LF), Kim Jae-hyun (C), Kim Tae-jin (SS), and Jang Jae-young (CF). The lineup featured seven left-handed batters, just like the previous day, with the only change being Lee Yong-kyu replacing Byeon Sang-kwon in the sixth spot. This was noteworthy since the opposing starting pitcher, Dietrich Enns, is left-handed. The decision was based on the data showing Enns' batting average against right-handed batters was .272 (64 hits in 235 at-bats) and .268 (34 hits in 127 at-bats) against left-handed batters, indicating no significant difference in effectiveness against left or right-handed hitters.

LG's starting lineup included Hong Chang-ki (RF), Shin Min-jae (2B), Kim Hyun-soo (LF), Austin (1B), Park Dong-won (C), Moon Bo-kyung (3B), Kim Seong-jin (DH), Koo Bon-hyuk (SS), and Park Hae-min (CF). Kim Beom-seok and Ham Chang-gun were sent down to the second team, while Song Chan-eui and Kim Seong-jin were called up to the first team. Kim Seong-jin, who leads the Northern League in home runs with nine and is second overall, was immediately placed in the lineup as the designated hitter, batting seventh. 먹튀검증
