▲ Lee Jung-hoo and Kim Ha-seong
The third game of the Major League Baseball (MLB) "Korean Derby" between Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) and Kim Ha-seong (Atlanta Braves) has been postponed to September due to a tropical storm.
MLB.com reported today (June 19) that the game, which was scheduled to take place at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia, was postponed due to forecasts of heavy rain brought by Tropical Storm Arthur.
The game will now be held at the same venue on September 1 at 4:05 a.m. KST.
Due to the schedule change, the San Francisco Giants must now play 23 consecutive games without a day off, starting from their game against the Cleveland Guardians on August 19 through their game against the St. Louis Cardinals on September 10.
San Francisco finished this three-game road series against Atlanta with two wins.
The first game on the 17th was declared a suspended game due to rain, leading San Francisco to play the remainder of that game and the two originally scheduled games as a doubleheader on the 18th, winning all of them.
San Francisco will travel to Miami, Florida, to play a three-game series against the Miami Marlins starting on the 20th, while Atlanta will host the Milwaukee Brewers at home.
San Francisco and Atlanta are set to face each other again from the 27th to the 29th at Oracle Park, the home stadium of the Giants.
