KBO Playoffs: Giants Take Commanding 2-0 Lead Over Doosan

BUSAN, South Korea -- For the second game in a row, Lotte's bottom three hitters came through in the clutch again. Yong Duk-han's one out homer in the ninth was the difference as Lotte took Game 2 of the series 2-1 at Jamsil Stadium. Lotte now takes a commanding 2-0 series lead home for Game 3 Thursday night.

Lotte starter Shane Youman produced another strong outing, pitching six innings of six hit ball, while giving up Doosan's only run in the first. He struck out four, while walking none. Four Lotte relievers combined the next three innings of three hit ball, with Kang Young-sik (1-0) picking up the win, and Jeong Dae-hyun picking up his second save after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth.

Lotte's Hwang Jae-kyun, Yong and Moon Kyu-hun combined for six of Lotte's eight hits.

Lotte looks to close the series in Game 3 with Ryan Sadowski taking the mound against Lee Yong-chan.
