The KIA Tigers forgot how to lose.
On the 16th at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they earned a come-from-behind 5-1 win over the 2026 Korea Baseball Organization Kiwoom Heroes. Riding a feel-good series sweep, they extended their winning streak to seven. They are 9-7 on the season. Starter James Nail and midseason acquisition Hong Min-gyu pitched well. Han Jun-su's game-tying RBI single, Castro's go-ahead two-run homer, and Kim Ho-ryeong's insurance two-RBI double stood out. Kiwoom failed to avenge a win as it was tripped up by defense that forgot the basics.
