KT Wiz clinches KBO lead with six-game winning streak

The KT Wiz have surged to the top of the 2026 KBO League, posting a six‑game winning streak that lifted them into first place. A 12‑1 victory over the Hanwha Eagles featured starter Go Young‑pyo's seven innings of no‑run, eight‑strikeout pitching and Kim Hyun‑soo's three‑run home run, which gave him his 4,000th career base. The win pushed KT ahead of the Samsung Lions, who had led the first half, and left the LG Twins slipping to third amid a broader slump.

KT’s second‑half record now stands at 12 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie, a .923 winning percentage, while the LG Twins struggle with a team batting average of .260 and a high team ERA, dropping them out of the title race.
