Na Seung-yeop is back, and after a day off, he is trying to win 5 consecutive games. But the sky blocked it.

The first round of the Nakdonggang River Derby, where the Lotte Giants and the NC Dinos face off, was canceled due to rain.

On the 24th, it rained all day at Changwon NC Park. The rain that used to fall in the morning has become much thinner in the afternoon. After four o'clock, it changed to a foggy rain.

But it wasn't enough to do outdoor training. Players from both Lotte and NC teams conducted training indoors.

The rain continued to pour without stopping. Large water holes were accumulated throughout the large tarpaulin covering the ground.

The game supervisor, who was deeply troubled, said he would decide at 5:30 p.m., and the cancellation of the rain was soon announced. In the future, the radar situation was also filled with rain clouds covering Changwon, so it was inevitable to cancel.

Lotte has recently won four consecutive games and is in third place, two and a half games ahead of the fourth-place KIA Tigers. In particular, he did not miss his concentration and finally turned it over even in the game where he was trailing by five to six points. Now, rather than the middle-ranked team, which is in a fierce ranking battle, it is enough to look a little beyond the top of the game between the Hanwha Eagles and the LG Twins.

NC has been consistent with three wins and two losses in the last five games. On the 21st, he suffered a shocking upset defeat that overturned the five-point gap at once, but he cut it off immediately on the 22nd.

Still, the ranking is already eighth. I'm desperate for a rebound point before the All-Star break.

The "Nakdong River Derby" in which the two teams will face off is 3 wins and 3 losses this season. Last year, Lotte was one step ahead with 9 wins and 7 losses.

Although it has been postponed by a day, the starting matchup is Lotte Davidson-NC Riley.

The Hanwha-NC match held at Changwon NC Park on the 30th. Riley is being replaced in the top of the seventh inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, encouraging the players. Changwon = Reporter Jung Jae-geun cjg@sportschosun.com /2025.5.30/

Davison has been a little shaky lately. It is winless in five consecutive games. During the same period, he also recorded only one quality start (more than six innings and less than three earned runs).

In NC, Riley is showing off his peak condition. However, the variable is that it is his first appearance against Lotte.
