The LG Twins and Doosan Bears will play their final regular-season series at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul from Tuesday to Thursday. The historic shared stadium will be torn down after this year, and the Bears will be the home team this week. The series also matters in the standings, with the Twins in fourth place and the Bears in fifth, while the Samsung Lions and KT Wiz battle for first place.

The two Seoul-based rivals in Korean baseball are set for their final regular-season series this week in the historic stadium that they share, while the battle for the top spot in the standings will continue into the final full month of the campaign.
The LG Twins and the Doosan Bears will meet for a three-game set at Jamsil Baseball Stadium from Tuesday to Thursday. They are the co-tenants of the stadium that will be torn down after this year, with the Bears serving as the home team this week.
This will be the final week in which the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) teams will play a pair of regularly scheduled three-game sets. Starting Sept. 8, teams will play makeup games — those that were rained out or canceled due to a record-breaking heat wave earlier this year — against different opponents in different cities almost every day.
