The faded Kim Ha-Sung’s big game.
The San Diego Padres’ Kim Ha-seong had his second three-hit game of the season. However, his performance was overshadowed by the team’s shocking upset loss.
Kim started at second base in the eighth spot against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on April 20.
He went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. It was his second three-hit game of the season since April 1 against the Colorado Rockies. It would have been perfect if the team had won, but San Diego had to settle for an extra-inning loss.메이저사이트
Kim got things started with an infield single in his first at-bat of the second inning. With the bases loaded, he made a bold move to steal second. It worked. It was his 12th stolen base of the season. However, he was unable to score on the next at-bat.
The highlight of Kim’s day came in his second at-bat of the fourth inning. With a 1-0 lead and runners on second and third in the fourth inning, Kim hit a double to right-center field off San Francisco bullpen Junis. With the count at 1B2S, he lined a slider right down the middle.
Kim didn’t stop there. In the sixth inning, with the bases loaded and the score 4-1, he hit another infield single, and in the ninth inning against Grisham, he showed off his quick feet by running to second base after the catcher dropped the ball. However, for the second time in as many at-bats, Grisham was thrown out at home on a grounder to short.
The final at-bat in the ninth inning was for O’Tee. He came up with the bases loaded in a 4-2 situation. A chance to drive in a run. But he flied out to center field.
It was disappointing because San Diego would go on to tie the game in the ninth inning. In the bottom of the ninth, Garcia gave up an infield single, two walks, and a wild pitch. Carlton came on in relief, but a sacrifice fly by San Francisco’s Bailey tied the game.
The game went into extra innings, and San Francisco won the game on a dramatic three-run homer by Yastrzemski in the bottom of the 10th.
With his performance, Kim improved his season batting average to 2-for-5.
