Can the game between the KIA Tigers and the Lotte Giants start normally.
KIA and Lotte are scheduled to play the 14th game of the season between the teams '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 6th. KIA won 2-0 on the 5th, the first game of three consecutive games this week.
But at around 2:50 p.m., when the home team Lotte was just about to start defensive training. The rain began to thicken. Since it rained continuously from lunch, Lotte players tried to push ahead with training, but the rain became too thick and withdrew from the ground in about five minutes.
The mound and home plate were already covered with tarps. As heavy rain began to fall, stadium managers began work to lay large tarps.
Kia announced Adam Oler as its starting pitcher on the day. Oler was scheduled to return to the match against the Hanwha Eagles in Gwangju on the 3rd, but the game was postponed due to rain. However, it is also raining on this day, making it unclear whether the game will start or not.

KIA may rest again until this day after the Gwangju Hanwha match was canceled due to heavy rain for two consecutive days on the 2nd and 3rd. With Kim Do-young, who returned from a hamstring injury, having to quickly recover his sense of play, frequent rain cancellations are not just pleasant. Kim Do-young was helplessly hit by Lotte starter Alec Gamboa's fastball with a maximum speed of 158 kilometers on the 5th, and had no hits and three strikeouts in 4 at-bats.
Lotte suffered internal injuries because its batters couldn't pick a single one even after releasing Gamboa on the first day, and the main hitter Jeon Joon-woo was replaced by a hamstring injury during the game, which is causing concern. If rain is canceled, it is expected to be a welcome rain that can cool down for a day.
