Game Preview
The second game of the series between the Bears and the Giants ended in thrilling fashion, as the Giants finished with a 10-9 win thanks to a walk-off home run from Byung Heon Min, one of the team's best players so far this season. The win pushed the Giants into a tie for the league's best record at 6-1, while the Bears fell to 4-3 and ended their two-game winning streak. Offenses are expected to take center stage once again in this one. The Giants will try to secure their seventh win of the season by sending Se Woong Park to the mound.

Top picks:
Jose Fernandez, Bears: Fernandez went 0-for-3 during Wednesday's contest against Lotte and while he ended his hitting streak at six games, he is still hitting a robust .517 with a 1.321 OPS in his first 29 at-bats.
Ah Seop Son, Giants: Son has hit safely in six of the team's seven games to date, posting back-to-back two-hit efforts and notching multi-hit performances in four of the team's last five contests. He's scorching hot at the moment and has also shown a good eye at the plate, as evidenced by his 2:6 K:BB ratio.
Byung Heon Min, Giants: Min has been one of the league's most consistent hitters this season and belted a walk-off home run Wednesday against the Bears. Lotte's everyday center fielder is currently riding a six-game hitting streak, hitting .440 over that stretch.
Jae Hwan Kim, Giants: The most expensive outfielder in this contest could be a sneaky play as well, as the numbers back up his price. Lotte's designated hitter is currently riding a five-game hitting streak, posting a .500 average during that stretch. He's also driven at least one run in every single game thus far.
