Kia Tigers rode explosive offense to their 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 recorded four RBIs, including his 39th three-run homer of the season, and Castro hit a two-run homer and a grand slam. They efficiently combined 13 hits and 10 walks/hit-by-pitches to produce a big inning. The momentum from the come-from-behind win in the bottom of the ninth carried over. Lotte collected 20 hits (two walks) but fell into a three-game losing streak.
