It continues to rain in Daegu.
The 7th game of the season between Hanwha Eagles and Samsung Lions, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on the 24th at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, is likely to be canceled due to rain.
Daegu Samsung Lions Park is covered with a large waterproof tarp, but rain is still falling as of 3:50 p.m. Rain is forecasted until 5 p.m., but it is continually being extended slightly, making the feasibility of the event uncertain.
On this day, Samsung announced Choi Won-tae as their starting pitcher, while Hanwha announced Ryan Weiss.
Samsung, currently on a three-game losing streak, is relying on Choi Won-tae for a momentum shift. Choi Won-tae suffered a loss against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 5th of last month but pitched well with 6⅓ innings, allowing 6 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, 8 strikeouts, and 2 earned runs for a quality start.
Hanwha, in first place, announced Ryan Weiss as their starter. This season, Weiss has recorded 9 wins and 2 losses with an earned run average of 2.83 over 15 games (95⅓ innings), and he has struck out 109 batters. He has been on a roll this June with 2 wins, an earned run average of 0.90, and 23 strikeouts over 3 games (20 innings).
