Professional baseball teams LG Twins and KT Wiz will face off in doubleheaders for two consecutive weeks.

LG and KT are scheduled to meet in the third match of the season at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 16th. However, heavy rain poured down at the stadium starting around 3:30 p.m.

It rained in the morning on the 16th but stopped around lunchtime, only to resume intensely in the afternoon. Although the rain eased somewhat around 4:30 p.m., according to the weather forecast, rain is expected until 10 p.m. Ultimately, the Korea Baseball Organization decided to cancel the game due to rain at 4:23 p.m.

As the game was canceled due to rain, it will be played as a doubleheader on the 17th. Both LG and KT will have a grueling schedule of doubleheaders for two consecutive weeks.

LG played a doubleheader against Samsung in Daegu on Saturday, the 10th. KT faced Lotte in a doubleheader in Suwon on Sunday, the 11th.

LG revealed its starting lineup at 4 p.m.: Park Hae-min (center fielder), Ham Chang-keun (left fielder), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Kim Hyun-soo (first baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Song Chan-eui (right fielder), and Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman).

Although the starting players are the same as the previous day's game, the batting order has changed slightly. Ham Chang-keun, who achieved his first multi-hit game and first RBI the day before, has moved up to second, while Kim Hyun-soo has dropped from second to sixth.

LG's starting pitcher is Son Joo-young, and KT's starting pitcher is Cuevas. Both pitchers have poor records against the opposing team.

Cuevas has a jinx against LG. His career record against LG is 0 wins, 4 losses with an earned run average of 9.00 in 9 games, which is poor. Last year, manager Lee Kang-cheol adjusted Cuevas' pitching schedule to avoid starting him against LG if possible. This season, Cuevas has recorded 2 wins and 3 losses with an earned run average of 5.23 in 9 games.

Son Joo-young has recorded 4 wins and 2 losses with an earned run average of 4.20 in 8 games this season. Son also has poor performance against KT, with no wins and 4 losses, and an earned run average of 8.72 in 5 career games.
