Along with Kwak Bin, who secured a victory yesterday, Choi Min-seok has been shining as part of Doosan's native one-two punch. He continued to show his dominance against Kiwoom today, an opponent against which he has already picked up three wins this season, the most against any team.

With precise control, he painted the corners of the strike zone with his two-seamer, cutter, and sweeper, pitching a strong game through six innings, allowing six hits, one run, and striking out five batters.

The batting lineup racked up six hits in the first inning alone to score six runs, putting Choi in line for the win.

As of the seventh inning, Doosan holds a massive lead, and if the game ends this way, Choi will claim his 13th win of the season to stand alone at the top of the wins leaderboard.

Hanwha, which has fallen into a bottomless slump since August, is struggling desperately to snap a five-game losing streak.

Starting pitcher Hwang Jun-seo struggled early, giving up four runs through the third inning, but the offense fought back with four consecutive hits in the fifth inning to score three runs, followed by a two-run homer from Kang Baek-ho to turn the game around in a tight contest against NC.
