Tigers, Twins set to renew KBO postseason rivalry

The Kia Tigers and the LG Twins, the two teams that have combined to win the past three Korean baseball championships, will renew their postseason rivalry starting this weekend. The two clubs will have their first Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason showdown in 10 years when the first game in their best-of-five semi-final round opens at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Tigers' home, Gwangju-Kia Champions Field in Gwangju, some 270 kilometers south of Seoul.

The Tigers were the 2024 Korean Series champions but missed the postseason in 2025. The Tigers will host the first two games, with the second game scheduled to start at 2 p.m. Sunday. The series will shift to the Twins' home turf, Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, for Game 3 at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and, if necessary, Game 4 at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. If the series goes the distance, the deciding fifth game will be back in Gwangju at 6:30 p.
