The Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization, who are in last place this season, are gradually rebounding, right?

Yes, Samsung ended their midweek three-game series against SSG with two wins and one loss, their first midweek three-game series sweep in three months since April 27.

The weekend three-game series against Kiwoom that followed was a clear indication that the team is back on the upswing, as they drew Game 1 and won Games 2 and 3, their third straight win and second consecutive winning series in three months.

In fact, Samsung has nine wins, one draw and eight defeats in 18 games this month through yesterday, with a win percentage of over five percent, and six wins, one draw and three defeats in their last 10 games alone, pushing their season win percentage into the four digits after being in the three digits for a while.

They’ve also cut their gap to ninth-place Kiwoom to three games.

The starting pitchers are leading Samsung’s turnaround.

Buchanan is 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA in five games this month,

Suarez hasn’t allowed a run in three games, throwing 19 innings in two wins, and Won has also been good, going 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in three games.

The bullpen, one of the team’s biggest weaknesses, is also starting to stabilize a bit.

Lee Jae-ik and Woo Kyu-min have kept their ERAs in the one-run range, Kim Tae-hoon has kept his ERAs in the three-run range, and Oh Seung-hwan has been improving his saves.

In the batting order, Koo Ja-rook has fully recovered from his injury and is batting close to .400, while Kim Hyun-joon, Kang Kang-ul, Kim Sung-yoon, and Pirela are all batting in the .300s.

Injured players have also returned or are close to returning.

Lefty starter Baek Jung-hyun, who was scratched from the first team last month due to elbow pain, picked up his fifth win yesterday against Kiwoom, and Oh Jae-il, who was sidelined with a posterior left thigh muscle injury, will start playing in the Futures League this week to get a feel for the game.
