Kia Tigers made the strong KT Wiz cry for three straight days. However, Kim Do-yeong's bid to become the youngest to hit 40 home runs was thwarted.
Kia won the 12th head-to-head game against the KT Wiz in the 2026 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League, 8-3, at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 6th. Starter James Naile pitched well with two runs over six innings, and Castro swung a hot bat with six RBIs as they swept the three-game set. They closed to within a half-game of the third-place LG Twins. KT, which dropped three straight, fell 1.5 games back of first-place Samsung.
