Kim Ha-seong of the San Diego Padres of the American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) continued to hit in five consecutive games. On the 24th, in the 2023 MLB Washington Nationals visiting game held at Nationals Park in Washington, DC, USA, he started as the second batter and third baseman and recorded 1 hit in 5 at bats.
Kim Ha-seong was blocked by Washington left-hander starter Mackenzie Gore, but got a hit from right-hander bullpen Chad Cool in the second half of the game. He came on as the leadoff hitter in the eighth inning and pushed Cool’s 95.7 mph (about 154 km) low sinker toward right field to produce a clean hit. Ha-seong Kim continued his streak of hits in five consecutive games.
However, it is a pity that he did not succeed in scoring. He was scoring 99 points in his MLB career, so he could have stepped on the 100 point mark that day, but the follow-up hit did not come out. With Juan Soto’s walk, Kim Ha-seong reached second base, but Zander Bogarts’ double hit and Jake Cronenworth’s strikeout ended the inning.
On this day, San Diego defeated Washington 7-4 and recorded a two-game winning streak. San Diego starter Darvish Yu became the winning pitcher with 6 hits and 3 runs in 6 innings.
On the other hand, Bae Ji-hwan of the Pittsburgh Pirates had 2 hits, but suffered a side-death on base both times, putting cold water on the game. The team also lost to the Texas Rangers 1-6.
Bae Ji-hwan started as second baseman in the home game against the Rangers at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the 24th and recorded 2 hits in 3 at-bats. His season batting average rose from 0.254 to 0.264 (32 hits in 129 at-bats).
However,토토사이트 trying to use his quick feet became poison. He went to base with a hit to left in the third inning, but was caught out by a check on first base by Texas starter Nathan Ivaldi. The video review did not change the verdict. He went to base with an infield hit in the eighth inning, but on the follow-up hit, he tried to run past second base to third base, but was out by a relay play by the defense while returning to second base.
