It rained from the morning at Jamsil Stadium on the 16th, when the game between KT Wiz and LG Twins was scheduled to be held. The amount was quite large. Still, according to the forecast, it is supposed to stop in the afternoon, so there seems to be no problem with the game being held.
However, it continued to rain in the afternoon, when the forecast said it would stop. The rain appeared to fluctuate, thinning and increasing. Still, after 1:30 p.m., the rain almost stopped and the maintenance of the stands began.
After 2 p.m., LG foreign hitter Austin Dean came out and was seen receiving several pungos from defense coach Kim Il-kyung. Austin, who took four games off due to a collision with a defender during the game, played only as the designated hitter in the three consecutive games against Kiwoom held from the 13th. He was scheduled to play as a first baseman from the match against KT, which will be held from this day, and checked his condition.
Son Joo-young was expected to start for LG and William Cuevas for KT on the same day.
Son Joo-young is 4-2 with a 4.20 ERA in eight games this season. He started Game 1 of the doubleheader against Samsung on the 10th and became the winning pitcher with a quality start of six hits, two walks, six strikeouts and three runs in six innings. It was the third quality start of the season in about a month and five games since the game against Kiwoom (one run in seven innings) on April 8, his third appearance of the season. In the early days, he suffered from poor control of his fastball, but he showed increasing stability.

Both Son Joo-young and Cuevas were weak against the opposing team.
Son Joo-young took the mound three times against KT last year, but lost two games without a victory and had a 6.19 ERA. It recorded only one quality start, and the team lost all three times. He also has four losses and an 8.72 ERA in five games against KT.
Cuevas was also weak only against LG. He pitched in nine games against LG and lost four games without a win and had a 9.00 ERA. Strangely, he didn't take the mound well against LG because it didn't work out well when he met LG. He pitched the least, and his ERA is also the worst. LG is the only team without a win. He took the mound only once last year, but he has not taken the mound against LG since he became a losing pitcher with eight hits and seven runs in five innings in Suwon on June 8. This is the first game against LG this season.
If the game is canceled due to rain or ground conditions, it will be held as a doubleheader on the 17th.
