Kia Tigers rode explosive offense to a second straight win.
They beat the Lotte Giants 16-11 in the 14th meeting between the teams, held on the 26th 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 hit a two-run homer and a grand slam. They combined 13 hits and 10 walks/hit-by-pitches efficiently for a big inning barrage. The momentum from the come-from-behind win in the bottom of the ninth the day before carried over. Lotte banged out 20 hits (two walks) but still fell into a three-game losing streak.
With two outs in the top of the ninth, Kia and Lotte's stats are shown on the scoreboard. Aug. 26, 2026
