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