The Kiwoom Heroes in professional baseball beat the first-place Samsung Lions despite a setback from foreign pitcher Raúl Alcántara's injury.
Kiwoom won 3-1 in a home game against the Samsung Lions in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League at Gocheok Dome on the 22nd. Starter Alcántara, who had been pitching a scoreless gem, was replaced before finishing the fifth inning due to elbow pain, but the bullpen shut down the remaining innings. At the plate, Kim Ung-bin launched a solo shot to lead the team to victory.
