After another stellar postseason performance, Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man praised ace pitcher Ariel Jurado for his durability and efficiency. Jurado pitched seven innings and allowed only one run, helping the Lions defeat KT Wiz 5-1 in Game 3 of the Korean Series. The Lions now lead the best-of-seven series 2-1. Jurado has pitched seven innings in all three postseason starts this fall.
Despite a shaky start, Jurado's pitch count remained high and he returned for the seventh inning after taking a batted ball on his hand. The Lions bounced back after a 8-7 loss in Game 1, winning the next game in a 12-inning thriller. Park believes the team's home confidence will contribute to their continued success in the next two games in Daegu. Young rookie Jang Chan-hee will start Game 4, following his strong debut in Game 1.
