KIA won 8-4 against LG in the KBO League in the 2025 season held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 26th.
Superstar Kim Do-young, who has been waiting for everything, is back. Last year's MVP Kim Do-young injured his hamstring in the opening game on Mar. 22. He returned to the first team on the 25th, about a month later. Kim Do-young, who played as a pinch hitter, started the game as the third designated hitter.
Kim Do-young led the lineup with two hits (one home run) in four at-bats.
KIA starter Oler showed off his best pitching of the season. In seven innings, he allowed only one hit and two walks, allowing no runs. It is the first scoreless game of the season. Aller reported four individual wins (one loss). He drastically lowered his ERA from 4.34 to 3.50.
Oler had a maximum speed of 153 km. He threw only 28 fastballs. Sloves were the most common with 30 out of 97 pitches. The two-seam fastball and slider change-up were combined in a similar ratio. He also showed three curves, misleading LG batters.
LG could not keep up with the flow of the game as alternative starting agent Lee Ji-gang collapsed early with six runs in three innings.
KIA took the lead by scoring the first run in the bottom of the first inning. With no outs and runners on the first and second bases, Kim Do-young exploded a timely hit. Choi Hyung-woo's back-to-back hits gave him two runs.
KIA scored four big innings in the bottom of the third inning. In the absence of a runner with one out, Kim Do-young hit a superior solo home run. He hit multiple hits and a home run in his return game as a starter. Later, Oh Sun-woo hit a three-run home run in a chance made by Lee Woo-sung's triple and Han Jun-su's walk.

LG was out of breath after Oler was replaced. He recovered three points in the top of the eighth inning to avoid a scoreless defeat. Koo Bon-hyuk hit Shin Min-jae walked. Song Chan-eui broke the silence by hitting a double on the left. In the continued second and third bases, Kim Hyun-soo added one more run with an infield grounder.

LG found comfort in the top of the ninth inning when Lee Joo-heon hit his first home run since his debut.
