LG got one back in the sixth, but the damage was already done. A two-run blast from Fernandez at the top of the third and another run at the top of the fourth helped the Bears start to pull ahead, before a massive six-run fifth including a bases-clearing triple from Jung put them up 10-1 at the midway point.

The lead didn’t last long, as the Twins were able to capitalize on an early walk and string together a few hits to bring a runner home at the bottom of the first, tying the score at 1-1. The Bears were on the attack from the start at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in southern Seoul, with Jung Soo-bin, the first batter up, hitting a single, and then immediately coming around to score off a double from Jose Fernandez.
