Samsung HR - Son Ju-in (1), Park Han-yi (1)

SK 6, Nexen 1
W - Kim Kwang-hyeon (3-4), L - Kim Seong-tae (1-5), S - Jeong Woo-ram (5)
SK HR - None
Nexen HR - Kim Min-woo (4)
SK starter Kim Kwang-hyeon looked like himself again. The 23-year old ace has put together back-to-back quality starts. Kim suffered through a really rough April, but looks like he's turned his season around. Kim threw 6 2/3 innings(116 pitches, 68 strikes) of one-run baseball. Kim gave up only three hits, but walked six while striking out three. It's nice to see the scoreless innings, but the walks are a concern. It likely means he's struggling with location or his mechanics could be off. Both are fairly correctable and it's unlikely he's got a hidden injury or an obvious injury.
SK trailed 1-0 after Nexen third baseman Kim Min-woo hit a solo homer in the third inning.
SK racked up three two-run hits in three separate innings to build a 6-1 lead. Left fielder Park Jae-sang and third baseman Choi Jeong hit two-run singles and first baseman Kim Kang-min hit a two-run double. The SK running game also took advantage of Nexen's battery. The Wyverns simply ran Nexen out of the stadium by going five for six in stolen bases.

W - Ben Jukich (5-2), L - Ahn Seung-min (2-3)
LG HR - None
Hanhwa HR - None

LG picked up a little insurance in the seventh inning with two more runs. First baseman Seo Dong-wook clubbed a two-run double to push the Twins' advantage to 4-0.
