The KIA Tigers forgot how to lose.
On Apr. 16 at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they rallied to beat the Kiwoom Heroes 5-1 in the 2026 pro baseball season. Riding a satisfying series sweep, they extended their winning streak to seven. The season record is 9 wins and 7 losses. Starter James Naile and midseason acquisition Hong Min-gyu pitched superbly. 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 with one win, tripped up by defense that forgot the basics.
