Kia Tigers rode explosive offense to win two straight.
They beat the Lotte Giants 16-11 in the 14th head-to-head game between the teams of the 2026 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 26th. Kim Do-yeong drove in four runs, including his 39th homer of the season, a three-run shot, and Castro hit a two-run homer and a grand slam. They efficiently combined 13 hits and 10 walks/hit-by-pitches for a big inning. The momentum from the walk-off comeback in the ninth the previous day carried over. Lotte collected 20 hits (two walks) but fell into a three-game skid.
In the top of the ninth with none out, Kia's Gwak Do-gyu is pitching valiantly. Aug. 26, 2026
