The LG Twins beat the Doosan Bears 4-1 in Seoul to clinch the KBO wild card and move into the next postseason round. Austin Dean hits a two-run home run in the first inning, while starter Carlos Carrasco allows one run over six innings. Carrasco strikes out three in his KBO postseason debut as the Twins secure the win with additional runs late in the game.
Both teams enter the matchup with different qualification scenarios. LG, finishing as the fourth seed in the regular season, needs a tie or a victory to advance, while Doosan, the fifth seed, must win two straight games to progress. Doosan gets one run in the seventh after loading the bases but leaves two runners on base in the eighth. The Twins then set up a best-of-five series against the third-seeded Kia Tigers, beginning Saturday in Gwangju.
