Kia Tigers rode explosive bats to a second straight win.
On the 26th at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they won the 14th meeting of the 2026 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League against the Lotte Giants 16-11. Kim Do-yeong drove in four runs, including his 39th homer of the season, a three-run shot, and Castro launched a two-run homer and a grand slam. They combined 13 hits and 10 walks/hit-by-pitches efficiently for a big inning outburst. The momentum from the come-from-behind win in the bottom of the ninth on the previous day carried over. Lotte collected 20 hits (two walks) but fell into a three-game skid.
