The KIA Tigers forgot how to lose.
On the 16th at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they rallied to a 5-1 win over the Kiwoom Heroes in the 2026 pro baseball season. They raced to a seven-game winning streak with a feel-good series sweep. The season record is 9-7. Starter James Naile and midseason acquisition Hong Min-gyu delivered strong outings. Han Jun-su's game-tying RBI single, Castro's go-ahead two-run homer, and Kim Ho-ryeong's clinching two-run double stood out. Kiwoom failed to avenge one win, tripped up by defense that forgot the basics.
