Kia Tigers rode explosive firepower to a two-game winning streak.

They won the 14th meeting of the season against the Lotte Giants in the 2026 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 26th, 16-11. Kim Do-yeong logged four RBIs, including his 39th home run of the season, a three-run shot, and Castro hit a two-run homer and a grand slam. They efficiently combined 13 hits with 10 walks and hit-by-pitches to produce a big inning. The momentum from the walk-off comeback in the ninth inning the previous day carried over. Lotte collected 20 hits (two walks) but fell into a three-game losing skid.
