Kia Tigers made the strong KT Wiz cry for three straight days. But Kim Do-yeong's bid to become the youngest to hit 40 home runs was foiled.
Kia won the 12th meeting of the season 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 series. They closed to within a half-game of the third-place LG Twins. KT, which dropped its third straight, fell 1.5 games behind first-place Samsung.
