Samsung led LG 3-0 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on September 4, but the advantage collapsed and the Twins completed a 4-3 comeback. The game featured a starting-pitcher matchup between Erick Fedde and Carrasco.
Fedde, Samsung’s ace, entered the sixth inning after throwing 98 pitches. The decision became a central question as LG turned the game around. Fedde has 32 major-league wins, but Samsung could not protect the lead and fell to its second consecutive one-run loss.
He looked impressive.
