Star batter Kim Do-yeong's seven-run second inning, featuring a grand slam, proved instrumental as starter Keisho Shirakawa struck out a career-high nine batters. Na Sung-bum and Han Jun-su contributed with solo home runs, making the Tigers just the fourth team to score at least one run from every starting lineup member in a postseason game. The Tigers will now face the Samsung Lions in the next best-of-five series, a rematch of the 2024 Korean Series.",
