SEOUL (Interstat) — The LG Twins defeated the Doosan Bears 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon at Jamsil Stadium, using a seventh-inning rally and a strong start from pitcher Wells to improve to 20-11-2 on the season.

Wells worked five innings, allowing four hits and no earned runs while striking out two. He did not factor in the decision. Ham Deok-ju earned the win, his first against one loss, after pitching a scoreless seventh inning. Jang Hyun-sik recorded his second save with a perfect ninth inning.

The losing pitcher was Doosan reliever Kim Jeong-woo, who fell to 0-2 after allowing the go-ahead run in the bottom of the seventh.

Doosan’s record dropped to 14-17-1.

The Bears scored their only run in the top of the fourth inning. An Jae-seok reached base on an error by the first baseman, stole second and came home on a single down the left-field line by Kim Han-hol.

LG tied the game in the second inning. Gu Bon-hyeok hit an infield single, stole second and scored on a single by Lee Ju-heon.

The Twins took the lead for good in the seventh. With one out, Lee Young-bin walked and advanced to second on a walk to Song Chan-eui. Park Hae-min singled to right field, scoring Lee Young-bin and putting LG ahead 2-1. Park later stole second, and Gu Bon-hyeok was hit by a pitch, but the rally ended with a strikeout and a fielder’s choice.

Neither team could add to its total in the final two innings.

Doosan starting pitcher Logue turned in a strong outing, allowing eight hits and one earned run over 5 2/3 innings while striking out six. He left with the game tied.

For Doosan, Choi Jun-ho pitched a scoreless sixth with one hit and two strikeouts. Yang Jae-hun allowed one hit in 2/3 of a scoreless seventh, and Lee Byeong-heon struck out the only batter he faced to end the inning. Kim Jeong-woo was charged with the loss after surrendering one run on one hit in one-third of an inning.

The Bears managed only six hits, with Daz Cameron doubling twice and Park Ji-hoon stealing two bases in the third inning.

LG collected 10 hits. Austin Dean doubled twice, and Shin Min-jae had two singles.
