MLB 'Korean Derby' Postponed Due to Tropical Storm, Rescheduled for September

The highly anticipated third "Korean Derby" of the Major League Baseball season, featuring San Francisco Giants' Jung Hoo Lee and Atlanta Braves' Ha-seong Kim, has been postponed. A tropical storm and heavy rain forecast for Atlanta's Truist Park on June 19th (KST) forced the cancellation of the game.

The rescheduled match is set to take place on September 1st at the same venue. This postponement creates a challenging schedule for the San Francisco Giants, who will now play 23 consecutive games without a rest day from August 19th to September 10th. The Atlanta Braves also face a demanding stretch, with nine consecutive games from August 26th to September 3rd.

In the previous encounters this season, the Giants secured two wins against the Braves. The June 17th game was suspended due to rain and later completed as part of a doubleheader on June 18th, with San Francisco emerging victorious in both contests. The Giants are scheduled to play the Miami Marlins in a three-game series from June 20th to 22nd, while the Braves will host the Milwaukee Brewers. The two teams are set to face each other again from June 27th to 29th at Oracle Park in San Francisco.
