The Kia Tigers rode explosive bats to a second straight win.
On the 26th at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field, they won the 14th head-to-head game of the 2026 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League against the Lotte Giants 16-11. Kim Do-yeong drove in four runs, including his 39th homer of the season, a three-run shot, and Castro blasted 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 come-from-behind win in the ninth the previous day continued. Lotte collected 20 hits (2 walks) but fell into a three-game losing streak.
