The KIA Tigers escaped a two-game losing streak to open the season. But the LG Twins suffered their first three-game losing streak to start a season in eight years.

On the 31st at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, KIA beat LG 7-2 in their first matchup of the 2026 KBO League season. Kim Do-young went 3-for-4 with a walk and three RBIs, including a two-run homer. Castro doubled twice and drove in two runs. Starter Allar became the winning pitcher after allowing just three hits with one walk and three strikeouts over six scoreless innings.
