The third MLB season matchup between Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants) and Kim Ha-seong (31, Atlanta Braves) was derailed by severe weather.

The Atlanta Braves officially announced on the 19th (Korean time) that their home game against the San Francisco Giants, scheduled to be held at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, was postponed due to rain.

According to the team, the cancelled game has been rescheduled for 7:05 a.m. on September 1 at the same venue.

Due to this schedule change, the visiting San Francisco Giants now face an extreme physical burden in the second half of the season. The Giants must play a grueling schedule of 23 consecutive games without a day off, from the August 19 game against the Cleveland Guardians to the September 10 game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

In particular, after completing a four-game home series against the Arizona Diamondbacks from the 28th to 31, the team must immediately fly the next day (September 1) to Atlanta to play the rescheduled game. Following that, a three-game away series against the Pittsburgh Pirates is scheduled from September 2 to 4, leading to evaluations that their travel route is nearly at its worst.

In contrast, the home team Atlanta faces a relatively manageable schedule, playing a nine-game series from the August 26 game against the Los Angeles Dodgers to the September 3 game against the Washington Nationals.

Meanwhile, the early momentum of the first "Korean Derby" between the two Korean Major Leaguers this season was claimed by San Francisco. On the 17th, the first game was declared a suspended game due to rain, and on the 18th, San Francisco swept both the resumed game and the originally scheduled game to take a 2-0 lead.

The next matchup between the two players, who avoided the rain, will take place at a different venue. San Francisco and Atlanta are scheduled to play another three-game series at Oracle Park, the home stadium in San Francisco, California, moving locations from June 27 to June 29.
