Lotte will play three consecutive games during the week against the NC Dinos at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 6th.
Lotte faced a record heat wave earlier in the weekend series against the LG Twins at Munsu Baseball Stadium in Ulsan. There have been two cancellations of the first heat wave in 43 years.
In particular, due to the nature of Munsu Baseball Stadium decorated with artificial turf, enormous geothermal heat was emitted. So, right after the only game held on the 3rd, key players such as Jeon Joon-woo, Yoon Dong-hee, Ko Seung-min, and Information-geun showed symptoms of exhaustion such as vomiting and lying down one after another.
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, whom I met before the game, said "All the players were well managed through the trainer part. There is no problem in playing today's game", he explained.

KBO decided to postpone the game schedule every Sunday and holiday to 6 p.m. in consideration of the hot weather that continues to be unusually high on this day. The measure is aimed at securing the safety of spectators, athletes, and field personnel in the weather where special heat warnings are pouring in. All games except Sunday and Liberation Day on August 11, 18 and 25, KIA-Kium match on the 15th and LG-Kium match on the 25th at Gocheok Dome, have been postponed to 6 p.m.
Regarding the game on the 11th, related information will be announced separately on the club's admission ticket reservation channel in case it is inevitable to watch the game due to a change in the start time of the game.
