The Samsung Lions dominated the Doosan Bears with a resounding 15-4 victory in the opening game of their away series at Jamsil Baseball Stadium. The Lions' offense proved too much for the Bears' starting pitcher, Choi Min-seok, while their new foreign pitcher, Chris Flexen, delivered a stellar performance on the mound.

The Lions established their dominance early, with their batters consistently putting runs on the board. The offensive onslaught put significant pressure on the Bears' pitching staff, leading to a lopsided scoreline by the end of the game.

Flexen, a key acquisition for the Lions, justified his signing with a strong outing, effectively shutting down the Bears' lineup and limiting their scoring opportunities. His performance was crucial in securing the comfortable win for his team.
