He gave up because of the water bomb. Jamsil SSG-LG canceled the rain

The SSG Landers-LG Twins match, which was scheduled to be held at Jamsil Stadium on the 18th, was decided to cancel the rain.
In Jamsil Stadium, where it rained all day, only the mound, groove, and infield soil were covered with tarpaulin, and the grass parts inside and outside were all rained down. Heavy rain fell in the morning as well as in the afternoon, creating puddles of water everywhere inside and outside Jamsil Stadium. The forecast showed that the rain would stop after 5 p.m., but it was judged that the rain would not be able to play even if it stopped because the heavy rain caused all the soil under the tarpaulin to get wet. Eventually, it was canceled at 4:45 p.m.
LG is far ahead of the two teams with seven wins, one draw and two losses. On this day, LG announced that Lim Chan-kyu SSG would announce Drew Anderson as the starting pitcher, but unfortunately he could not see him.
Lim Chan-kyu has 5 wins, 4 losses and a 4.11 ERA with 1 hold in 15 games (14 starts) this season. I lost my back muscle for a while in June.
Strong before SSG. He had a 2.05 ERA with four wins and no losses in four games last year, and has a 2.08 ERA in two games this year.
Anderson is a right-hander who has signed a contract in late April in place of Robert Duggar, and has a 5-1 record with a 3.72 ERA in 11 games (10 starts). He quickly settled in the KBO League with a fast fastball with an average speed of 151 km and various pitches such as curves, sliders, and changeups.
In the game against LG, he started only once and became a winning pitcher. He took the mound in Incheon on May 30 and allowed three hits, three walks, seven strikeouts, and two runs in six innings.
On the previous day, LG and SSG played a batting match, and LG won 12-8. In the beginning, Oh Ji-hwan fired a grand slam and Moon Bo-kyung fired a two-run shot, and LG led 11-1 until the sixth inning, but SSG scored as many as seven runs in the top of the seventh inning with Herredia's grand slam, and the game flowed into a close game at the last minute. LG wins by stopping SSG from chasing.
Both Lim Chan-kyu and Anderson were performing well against the other team, so they could expect it. However, a lot of rain eventually prevented the two from facing off.
LG will play three consecutive weekend games against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 19th, and SSG will meet the Kiwoom Heroes in Incheon. Both LG and SSG will start Lim Chan-kyu and Anderson as they are.
