Doosan swept by LG in humiliating 1-1-0 defeat as key players await first-team call-up

Doosan’s push toward third place turned into a humiliating sweep at the hands of their Jamsil rivals, the LG Twins. The Bears lost all three games in the series, with the defeats coming by scores of 1-1 and 0 points in the headline’s shorthand.

The latest setback came on Sept. 3 at Jamsil Stadium, where Doosan lost 0-1 to LG. The game left plenty to regret, according to the report, as Doosan failed to close the gap in the standings.

Doosan now sit fifth, 2.5 games behind fourth-place Kia. LG, meanwhile, have opened a five-game lead over them in third place.

Attention has also turned to the roster. A free agent valued at 7.8 billion won, who went three-for-three, and a player acquired in a trade after hitting a home run have been removed from the second-team roster. The move has raised the question of whether either player could be called up to the first team. Manager Kim Won-hyong had deliberately chosen ace Kwak Bin for the game, but the excerpt ends before explaining the full decision.
