Having won seven straight games to climb to second place in Korean baseball, the KT Wiz will now eye a return to the top spot this week.
The Wiz were in third place before the All-Star break in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) last week, 3 1/2 games behind second-place LG Twins. And then the Wiz swept the Twins in their four-game series coming out of the midseason break and now find themselves ranked second with a 51-35-1 (wins-losses-ties) record, two games behind the league-leading Samsung Lions (53-33-2).
The Wiz will open the new week with a three-game series at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, just south of Seoul, against fifth-place Doosan Bears (47-42-2), who most recently won three games straight.
The Wiz will then travel to the southeastern city of Busan for a three-game set against eighth-ranked Lotte Giants (39-47-2).
