The KIA Tigers forgot how to lose.
On Apr. 16 at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they beat the Kiwoom Heroes of the 2026 pro baseball season 5-1 in a come-from-behind win. They raced to a seven-game winning streak with a satisfying series sweep. The season record is 9 wins and 7 losses. Starter James Naile and midseason acquisition Hong Min-gyu pitched well. 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 stood out. Kiwoom failed to avenge one win, hobbled by defense that forgot the basics.
