• Playoffs da KBO: LG Twins contra Kia Tigers54¢

Kia Tigers hold a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five KBO semi-playoff after 5-1 and 6-3 victories driven by James Naile’s seven strong innings and a five-run first inning backed by Adam Oller. Star slugger Kim Do-yeong delivered multiple home runs and RBIs in the opener while the Tigers extended regular-season dominance over LG. LG Twins, who advanced via a wild-card win over Doosan, face Game 3 at home in Jamsil with roster reinforcements including closer Son Ju-young and shortstop Oh Ji-hwan returning from injuries, though second baseman Shin Min-jae remains sidelined by a hamstring issue. Home-field advantage, LG’s recent playoff experience, and historical comebacks from 0-2 deficits create competitive balance reflected in the near-even trader consensus. A strong LG pitching performance or further Kia bullpen strain could shift momentum quickly in the remaining games.
