스포츠: 송성문의 타점 복귀, 잠실 두산-LG 마지막 3연전, FC서울의 질주

It is time now to take a look at what's been happening in the world of sports.
For that, we have our sports editor Paul Neat with us in the studio.
Hello, Paul.

Hello.

Let's start with South Koreans in MLB. A return for Song Sung-mun.

Right, he marked his return for the San Diego Padres with an RBI.
On Sunday, in a 5-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, the infielder went zero-for-2, but with an RBI, a walk and a steal.
Song was recalled from the minors just beforehand and was given a start at third base and batted ninth.
His RBI came at the top of the seventh, with the Padres up 2-1, hitting a sacrifice fly to right field to score Samad Taylor from third base.
Song was walked intentionally in the top of the ninth and then pulled off a double steal with Xander Bogaerts for his 13th of the season.
Meanwhile, Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants, also on Sunday, was involved in a doubleheader against the Arizona Diamondbacks as number four hitter and right fielder.
In the first game, Lee went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBIs for his first multi-hit game in 10 days.
His first hit actually came against former SK Wyverns man Merrill Kelly.
The Giants lost 7-1, but they won the second game 7-2, with Lee going 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI.

Sticking with baseball but looking at the KBO.
We're gearing up for the postseason now, which means the last time two Seoul rivals will meet in Jamsil.

Right, the regular season is ending soon.
That means there is now just one three-game series left between the Doosan Bears and the LG Twins, the two main Seoul rivals, to be played at the iconic Jamsil Stadium before it closes this year.
They meet from Tuesday through Thursday, with the Bears as the home team.
But both teams are playing for postseason spots -the Twins are fourth and the Bears are fifth.
With the playoff picture beginning to settle, the battle at the top is now the big story.
Samsung Lions lead KT Wiz by just half a game, while the KIA Tigers have surged into third after the league's best August.
Meanwhile, Hanwha Eagles's dramatic collapse continues, and the upcoming Asian Games could have a major impact on the final weeks of the regular season.

To football now. Could this be FC Seoul's year?

Well, it certainly seems like it could be.
K League 1 leaders FC Seoul earned a 5-2 away win over 9-man Gwangju FC on Sunday.
With Ulsan HD beating Gimcheon Sangmu 3-1 the day before, it meant that Seoul needed to win to keep their 16-point lead.
Seoul last won the title in 2016, winning on the final day, but have never been this far ahead since around 2012.
As for Gwangju, it's now 24 games since they last won a league match and look destined for a relegation playoff.
Elsewhere, there were draws between Bucheon and Anyang, Gangwon and Pohang, and Incheon and Jeonbuk, while Jeju maintained their solid form with a win over Daejeon.
K League 1 reaches Round 27 this weekend, meaning there are seven rounds to go in the regular season plus five more afterwards.
It's the last of the 12-team, split-system before K League 1 expands to 14 teams next year.

And finally, to golf.
Some decent results for Koreans on the LPGA and PGA tours.

Right, Kim Hyo-joo in particular,
who finished runner-up at the LPGA’s FM Championship in Massachusetts on Sunday, finishing 12-under par, two strokes behind China’s Yin Ruoning.
On the PGA Tour, Kim Si-woo and Kim Joo-hyung both tied for 14th at the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
Kim Si-woo’s result took his season earnings beyond 10 million U.S. dollars, which makes him the first South Korean to reach that mark in a single PGA Tour season.

Thanks for that, Paul.
See you next week.

Thank you.
