Samsung Lions pitcher Ariel Jurado delivered a strong performance in Game 3 of the Korean Series on Friday, leading his team to a 5-1 victory over the KT Wiz. Jurado held the Wiz to just six hits over seven innings, as he struck out eight and walked only one batter. The Panamanian ace was awarded the MVP of the previous postseason series, where he helped the Lions eliminate the Kia Tigers in five games.
Jurado's 1.32 ERA over 13 2/3 innings in the earlier series continued his strong form, as he kept the Wiz at bay in Friday's game. Despite a few challenges, including arm fatigue throughout the season and a torn oblique muscle, Jurado remained focused on helping his team win.
