The KIA Tigers forgot how to lose.
On Apr. 16 at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they earned a come-from-behind 5-1 win over the 2026 Korea Baseball Organization Kiwoom Heroes. Riding a satisfying series sweep, they stretched their winning streak to seven. The season record is 9 wins and 7 losses. Starter James Naile and midseason pickup Hong Min-gyu pitched brilliantly. Han Jun-su's game-tying RBI single, Castro's go-ahead two-run home run, and Kim Ho-ryeong's game-sealing two-RBI double shined. Kiwoom failed to avenge with one win, hobbled by defense that forgot the basics.
