The Samsung Lions defeated the Doosan Bears 5-4 in 10 innings on April 28 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, snapping a seven-game losing streak. Ace starter Ariel Jurado pitched seven scoreless innings but earned a no-decision after the bullpen collapsed. Jurado notched his sixth straight quality start, maintaining a 2-1 record with a 1.62 ERA.
The Samsung Lions have extended the contract of injury replacement pitcher Jack O'Loughlin through May 31. The Australian left-hander initially signed a six-week deal on March 16 to fill in for American starter Matt Manning, who suffered an elbow injury. Lions manager Park Jin-man praised O'Loughlin's recent steadiness.
