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 derailed.
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 as they swept the three-game series. They closed to within a half-game of the third-place LG Twins. KT, handed a three-game losing streak, fell 1.5 games back of first-place Samsung.
