Doosan's Lee Seung-yup team broke the losing streak thanks to Oh Myung-jin, who hit the game-winning grand slam.

The Doosan Bears achieved a 13-4 victory against the Lotte Giants in the sixth game of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League season held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 27th.

Doosan escaped from a recent two-game losing streak and a four-game losing streak at home, recording a season record of 12 wins and 16 losses. Meanwhile, Lotte, whose attempt for a fourth consecutive win failed, ended up with a record of 16 wins, 1 draw, and 13 losses, wrapping up the weekend series with a winning series.

The home team Doosan lined up with Jeong Su-bin (center fielder), Kim In-tae (left fielder), Jake Cave (right fielder), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Oh Myung-jin (second baseman), Kang Seung-ho (third baseman), Kim Gi-yeon (catcher), and Park Jun-young (shortstop) against Lotte's starter Park Jin.

Yang Eui-ji, who complained of side pain during a game two days ago, was excluded from the roster. Yang plans to rest until the 28th, when there will be no game. Kim In-tae, who had a critical hit, performed the table setter role alongside Jeong Su-bin batting second.

In response, Lotte faced Doosan's starter Choi Seung-yong with Hwang Seong-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Victor RAY (designated hitter), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Jeon Jun-woo (left fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), and Jeon Min-jae (shortstop).

In the bottom of the first inning, with one out and runners on first and third base, Doosan's chance was squandered by Yang Seok-hwan's double play. The offense in the bottom of the fourth inning, however, was different. Lead-off batter Kim In-tae walked after a 7-pitch battle, and Cave created a no-out situation with a single to right field. Although Yang Seok-hwan was limited to a line drive to the third baseman, Kim Jae-hwan faced the new pitcher Song Jae-young and walked after a 9-pitch duel to load the bases, and 'the exhibition game batting king' Oh Myung-jin launched a grand slam for the first score.

Oh Myung-jin attacked Song Jae-young's low inside slider (129km) on the first pitch, turning it into a 115m home run. It was the moment when the backup player's first career home run, who joined Doosan as the 59th pick in the 6th round of the 2020 draft and had experienced a life in obscurity, was hit. After claiming the exhibition game batting crown this year and spending time in the second team, his hard times continued, but with this home run, he wiped away the hardships of the past.

Doosan did not stop there. Kang Seung-ho drew a walk, and Kim Gi-yeon hit a go-ahead RBI double against the new pitcher Park Jin-hyung, while Jeong Su-bin contributed with an RBI single to left field, widening the gap.

Lotte launched a counterattack in the top of the fifth inning. It started with Jeon Jun-woo's solo home run after one out. With a favorable count of 2 balls and 1 strike, he attacked Choi Seung-yong's slider (130km) in the middle, hitting a 115m home run to left field. It was his second home run of the season after 10 games since the match against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 15th.

Then, with Ko Seung-min drawing a walk, Jeon Min-jae hit an RBI double, and Hwang Seong-bin made an RBI ground ball to narrow the score to 3-6.

Doosan did not remain silent. In the bottom of the fifth inning, lead-off batter Yang Seok-hwan earned a walk after a full count. Kim Jae-hwan struck out swinging against the new pitcher Jeong Hyun-su, but after a wild pitch, Oh Myung-jin hit a fortunate double off the wall, and Kang Seung-ho loaded the bases with a walk. Kim Gi-yeon hit a sacrifice fly to left field, and Park Jun-young delivered a 2-RBI double to left-center, driving the nail into the coffin for the victory.

Lotte added one run in the top of the seventh inning with a two-out, two-run chance after Jeon Jun-woo's double. Hwang Seong-bin's RBI single to right field brought one run, but by then, the momentum was already in favor of the opponents.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, after two outs, Jeong Su-bin walked, and Kim In-tae reached on a single to right field, while Cave succeeded with an RBI single to right field. Yang Seok-hwan loaded the bases with a walk, and Kim Jae-hwan followed with a push walk, while Oh Myung-jin further extended the lead with a 2-RBI double to left-center.

Doosan's starter Choi Seung-yong pitched 5 innings, allowing 4 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, and 1 strikeout, giving up 3 runs with 83 pitches to earn his second victory of the season (1 loss). Following him were Park Shin-ji (1⅔ innings, 1 run), Park Chi-guk (⅓ innings, no runs), Hong Min-kyu (1 inning, no runs), and Kim Min-gyu (1 inning, no runs).

The batting lineup showcased power, scoring 13 runs on 13 hits. Oh Myung-jin delivered a performance with 4 at-bats, 3 hits (1 home run), 6 RBIs, 1 walk, and 2 runs scored, while Cave contributed with 4 hits, 1 RBI, and 2 runs across 5 at-bats, In addition, Park Jun-young had 2 hits and 2 runs scored in 5 at-bats, and Jeong Su-bin had 1 hit, 1 RBI, 2 walks, and 2 runs scored.

On the other hand, Lotte's starter Park Jin suffered his first loss of the season (1 win) after 3⅓ innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 walks, and 2 runs with 51 pitches in a rough outing. Jeon Jun-woo's home run and 2 hits, along with Hwang Seong-bin's 2 RBIs, were overshadowed.

Doosan will host KT Wiz at home starting from the 29th after a day of rest. Lotte will move to Gocheok to face off against the Kiwoom Heroes.
