Will the 6th game of the season between the Samsung Lions and KT Wiz, scheduled to be held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 13th, proceed as planned?
Rain has been falling since the afternoon, moistening the ground. As of 3:30 p.m., rain has collected on a large tarp covering the infield. Currently, light rain is falling, and according to the Korea Meteorological Administration forecast, the probability of precipitation is 60%. Some players are lightly warming up in the outfield.
Meanwhile, Samsung will send out Hwang Dong-jae, a first-round pick, as the starting pitcher. He will step in as a substitute starter with Won Tae-in and Denny Reyes out of the starting rotation. This will be Hwang Dong-jae's first appearance as a starting pitcher this season, but he has consistently fulfilled the starting rotation in the Futures League.
Samsung is pleased with the recovery of Gu Ja-wook's hitting form. On the 11th, he recorded four hits against KIA in Gwangju, and on the 12th, he fired a two-run homer in the first inning. Manager Park Jin-man noted after the game on the 12th, "We were able to win thanks to Gu Ja-wook's two-run homer in the first inning."
KT's starting pitcher is side-armer Ko Young-pyo. His record this season is 5 wins, 4 losses, and an earned run average of 2.92 over 12 games. He is currently on a 3-game winning streak after a game against KIA on the 21st of last month. He made a start against Samsung on the 15th of last month, taking the loss with 4 innings pitched, 6 hits allowed, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, and 5 earned runs.
