The Kiwoom Heroes escaped a five-game losing streak by defeating the KIA Tigers 3-1 thanks to the hard work of An Woo-jin and the performance of Seo Geon-chang. An Woo-jin recorded no runs in seven innings, earning his third win of the season, and Seo Geon-chang, who celebrated his birthday, led the team to victory with two hits and two RBIs. Despite Adam Plutko's strong pitching, KIA's batting lineup struggled, putting a stop to their six-game winning streak. As a result of this game, Kiwoom's lead over fourth-place LG Twins was reduced to half a game.
