The Hanwha Eagles will face the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 25th. The gap between the second-ranked Hanwha (80 wins, 3 draws, 54) and the first-ranked LG Twins (83 wins, 3 draws, 52 losses) is 2.5 games.
As LG lost to Changwon NC Dinos the previous day (24th), Hanwha also had a 'Magic Number'. Hanwha and LG will play three consecutive games from the 26th.
The loss on the 24th was painful for LG. In particular, he decided to push six runs down with seven consecutive four pitches at runners on first and second bases in the bottom of the sixth inning, when he was leading 5-3. As he handed over the atmosphere without sticking properly, it was a regrettable moment for LG.

LG changed the starting order from Anders Tolhurst-Yoni Chirinos-Im Chan-gyu to Chirinos-Tolhurst-Im Chan-gyu. Hanwha's starting schedule was set in the order of Ryu Hyun-jin, Moon Dong-ju and Cordy Ponce as the Incheon SSG Landers game was canceled due to rain on the 24th. Coach Kim said, `I don't know about changing the opponent's selection. We're trying to go as we please,' he said. "'As much as we do it at home, I think we can cheer up a little more thanks to the support of the home fans.'"
Meanwhile, Jung Woo-joo, who was scheduled to start on the last day of the game against LG but was delayed, will wait as a bullpen. If the ranking is confirmed, he can come back as a starter, but until then, he will add strength in the bullpen. Ryan Weiss, who started on the 25th, may also rest depending on future circumstances. Manager Kim said "Jung Woo-joo can take the mound as a bullpen starting today. Yesterday, the game was canceled due to rain, and the last day of the game against LG disappeared" he said.
