The Kiwoom Heroes beat the first-place Samsung Lions despite the injury variable of foreign pitcher Raul Alcantara.

Kiwoom earned a 3-1 home win over the Samsung Lions in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League at Gocheok Dome on the 22nd. Starter Alcantara, who had been pitching a scoreless gem, was replaced before finishing the fifth inning due to elbow pain, but the bullpen held the remaining innings. In the lineup, Kim Woong-bin launched a solo shot to lead the team to victory.
