In the pivotal Game 3 of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) postseason series, Kia Tigers star hitter Kim Do-yeong delivered a monumental homer that solidified his reputation as a clutch performer. The massive blast capped a seven-run second inning for the Tigers, as they sailed to a convincing 13-1 victory over the LG Twins.
Kim's grand slam not only propelled the Tigers to a three-game sweep but also secured him the series MVP award. Kim's three home runs and eight RBIs across the three games earned him 84 out of 97 votes in the series MVP vote. With the Tigers already leading 3-0, Kim entered the lineup in the top of the second inning, facing a challenging situation as Na Sung-bum had already put the Twins on the board with a solo home run.
Reliever Jon Kennedy's subsequent pitching struggles only added to the Twins' woes, allowing another run to score. Kim's timely performance in the crucial game underscored his status as a reliable and impactful player for the Kia Tigers.
