“Ha-Sung Kim!” A multi-hit game in a year…Kim Ha-Sung Forgetting his water bottle injury, 10 HR+16 RBI first half finale [Kim Ha-Sung Game Notes]

Forget the bucket injury. Fans chanting “Ha Sung Kim!” rewarded him with a multi-hit game.

San Diego Padres pitcher Ha Sung Kim, 28, had a spectacular first half finale.

Kim batted first and started at second base during the Padres’ 2023 Major League Baseball home game against the New York Mets at Petco Park in San Diego, California, on Tuesday (10 June).

No more ‘bucket nightmares’. In the bottom of the seventh inning against the Mets on the 8th, Kim hit a double down the left field line against “former KBO player” Brooks Railley and raced to third base before being tagged out. After returning to the dugout, Kim kicked a bucket of water to relieve his frustration, but stubbed his toe and was replaced by Lugned Odor in the top of the ninth. He was given the day off against the Mets on the 9th.

San Diego’s lineup for the final game of the first half was Ha-Sung Kim (second base), Juan Soto (left field), Fernando Tatis Jr. (right field), Manny Machado (third base), Xander Bogaerts (shortstop), Jake Cronenweth (first base), Gary Sanchez (catcher), Lugned Odor (designated hitter), Trent Grisham (centre field) and starter Joe Musgrove.

The Mets countered with Max Scherzer on the mound and a starting lineup of Brandon Nimmo (centre field), Tommy Pham (left field), Francisco Lindor (shortstop), Yoenis Alonso (first base), Jeff McNeil (right field), DJ Stewart (designated hitter), Francisco Alvarez (catcher), Brett Betts (third base) and Luis Guillome (second base).

The returning Kim struck first in the bottom of the first inning. On a 1B 2S count, he hit a four-pitch 85-mph changeup that dropped in front of the left-field fence. One out later, Tatis Jr. doubled up the middle, stole third and scored on Machado’s three-run homer to left. San Diego jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead.

Kim’s second at-bat came in the bottom of the second inning. The bases were loaded. He faced Schuerzer again and was foul-tipped out on a 94-mph four-seam fastball on a five-pitch count at 2B 2S.Unlike his second at-bat, his third came with a golden opportunity. With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, Kim was unable to match Schuerzer’s aggressiveness and eventually hit a 95-mph four-seam fastball on a three-pitch count with two on and two out, but was forced out on a grounder to shortstop.

It was a different story in his fourth at-bat. Facing left-hander McFarland with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning, Kim picked off the first pitch he saw and responded to a two-pitch 88-mph sinker with a single to left to complete his multi-hit game. The crowd erupted with chants of “Ha Sung Kim!” as she stepped to the plate, and she responded with a hit of her own. Soto singled and stole second, but Kim was unable to score as Tatis Jr. grounded out to shortstop.카지노

There were no more opportunities for Kim to get on base. Grisham’s at-bat in the bottom of the eighth ended the inning and Tom Cosgrove, who took over on the mound in the top of the ninth, pitched a scoreless inning to seal the 6-2 win for San Diego.

Kim, who finished the day 2-for-4 with a run scored, raised his season average to .258 and booked a career-high season with 10 home runs, 31 RBIs, 16 doubles and a .760 OPS.

After winning the final game of the first half, San Diego is still in fourth place in the National League West with a season record of 43-47.

Musgrove pitched six innings of three-hit ball, allowing no runs and striking out seven, to pick up his eighth win of the season (2-0) and lower his season ERA to 3.29. Machado went 4-for-5 with two home runs, five RBIs and two runs scored. His 14th and 15th home runs of the season came in the final inning of the first half, foreshadowing a strong second half. Scherzer, meanwhile, took the loss, allowing five runs on six hits in five innings to fall to 3-8 on the season. Scherzer finished the first half with a 4.31 ERA.
