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