The Kia Tigers rode explosive firepower to a second straight win.

On the 26th at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they won the 14th head-to-head game against the Lotte Giants in the 2026 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League 16-11. 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 and hit-by-pitches for a big inning. The momentum from the walk-off comeback in the ninth the previous day continued. Lotte collected 20 hits (two walks) but fell into a three-game losing streak.
