In the opening frame of Game 2 in the KBO postseason, the Kia Tigers' offense went on a five-run tear against the LG Twins. Pitcher Adam Oller delivered a solid performance, pitching six innings of relief. This offensive explosion helped secure a 6-3 victory for the Tigers, marking their second consecutive postseason win.
The Tigers found themselves in a pivotal position, just one win away from claiming the best-of-five series on their home turf. The series will shift to Seoul for Game 3 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. Should the Twins succumb to this pressure, it would be the final match played at this 44-year-old stadium, which is slated for demolition following this season's games.
Historically, only twice has a team managed to rally from dropping the first two games in this particular postseason round since it was introduced in 1989. These victorious turnarounds occurred with the 2010 and 2013 Doosan Bears.
