The Korean baseball season is set to recommence this week, following a record-breaking heat wave that led to cancellations of nearly all games last week. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) teams will return to play on Tuesday across the country, marking their brief summer break. Only three out of five games scheduled for last Tuesday saw action, and the league subsequently decided to cancel all further games in the week due to the extreme heat.
The KBO also announced that all upcoming games will commence at 7 p.m. until further notice, a change from the usual 6:30 p.m. start times for weekday games. This adjustment has been in place since the first heat-related game cancellation on August 1, which saw two matches called off. The Kia Tigers and the NC Dinos, who have not played a game in August due to these weather-related interruptions, are scheduled to open the new week at home.
The Tigers will host the Samsung Lions at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field in Gwangju, while the Dinos are set to take on the Gwangju Jinmen Rheo at the latter's home ground.
