"It's because I haven't lost 16 games in a row!"

The KIA Tigers dugout suddenly became a sea of tears. After escaping seven consecutive losses, starter Kim Gun-guk spread his tears to Byun Woo-hyuk. Yang Hyun-jong "It's because he hasn't won 16 consecutive games!," he said cheerfully.

KIA won the 2025 KBO League Doosan Bears 3-2 at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 31st.




Choi Hyung-woo, who was silent the previous day with no hits in 6 at-bats, played 2 hits in 4 at-bats, 1 RBI and 2 runs. Na Sung-bum also had one hit, but he gave one when it mattered. He went 1 for 4 with an RBI.

Starting pitcher Kim Gun-guk pitched four ⅓ innings to set the stage for victory. Byun Woo-hyuk exploded a come-from-behind final hit in the bottom of the sixth inning when the score was 2-2. He went 2 for 4 with an RBI.

The bullpen, which had been in operation since the fifth inning, was also clean. Han Jae-seung, who transferred to the trade on the 28th, won the relief victory. He did his part by allowing one run in one ⅔. From the seventh inning, Sung Young-tak's Jeon Sang-hyun and Jung Hae-young pitched one scoreless inning each.




KIA has had seven consecutive wins and one draw. He allowed a tie at the top of the eighth inning with a 2-1 lead on the 30th, and ended up with a draw after going to the 11th inning.

However, he turned the game around on this day and kept it to the end.

Kim Geon-guk, who was selected as a trainee, shed tears while doing a podium interview in front of home fans.

Byun Woo-hyuk, who was waiting for the interview after Kim Geon-guk, watched it in the dugout and shed tears together.

Byun Woo Hyuk said, "I got emotional because I thought I did a good job after a long time, but when Konkuk sunbae cried, I got emotional, too," he said with tears in his eyes.

In Yang Hyun-jong's eyes, they must have been cute. Yang experienced 16 consecutive losses in 2010. KIA lost 16 consecutive games from June 18 to July 8, 2010. This is the joint third place for the most consecutive losses among KBO teams.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said, `It must have been difficult during the losing streak, but all the players who did their best to cut it off did well. As the new month begins, I will prepare well with a new mind. I would like to thank the fans for their support."
