KIA Tigers forgot how to lose.

On the 16th at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they beat the Kiwoom Heroes of the 2026 pro baseball season 5-1 in a come-from-behind win. With a satisfying series sweep, they raced to a seven-game winning streak. The season record is 9 wins and 7 losses. Starter James Naile and trade 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 game-sealing two-RBI double stood out. Kiwoom was tripped up by defense that forgot the basics and failed to avenge a single win.
