The 'Incheon-born foreign starter showdown' has come to fruition. A head-on clash between foreign ace pitchers will take place at the rainy Incheon Landers Field.

The '2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League' game between SSG Landers and Samsung Lions, originally scheduled for the 26th at Incheon SSG Landers Field, was cancelled due to rain. Cloudy weather persisted from the afternoon, and as the game time approached, the raindrops grew heavier and did not stop, leading Game Supervisor Park Jong-hoon to ultimately decide on rain cancellation effective at 6:01 p.m.

Both team managers have announced their starting pitchers for the rescheduled game on the 27th at the same venue: Anthony Benigiano (SSG) and Ariel Huarado (Samsung). SSG kept its original starter, while Samsung changed from Won Tae-in to Huarado.

Due to the rain, both teams' bullpens have been granted a sweet respite, making the 27th game potentially a full bullpen battle. Especially for SSG, which has fallen into a seven-game losing streak, this has provided a much-needed break. Samsung, too, was able to grant Won Tae-in a rest sooner than planned. According to manager Park Jin-man, Choi Won-tae is expected to return for the SSG game on the 28th.

Meanwhile, the postponed game will be rescheduled as part of the remaining game schedule.
