Kim Ha-sung, who started as the eighth shortstop, went out as the leadoff hitter in the top of the third inning when he was 0-0, walked, and got on base, followed by stolen bases and stolen bases. Kim Ha-sung, who picked up a 95.1-mile fastball on the fifth pitch against Baltimore starter Albert Suarez, ran second base on the third pitch at Kyle Higashioka’s at-bat, safely.
After Higashioka was out with a straight hit to shortstop, left-handed batter Luis Arraez at-bat. Kim Ha-sung was tagged out with greed for third base on the first pitch. Suarez threw a 96-mile fastball outside, and catcher James McCann’s throw was accurate. It was regrettable to see Kim Ha-sung’s judgment that Arraez immediately hit the left-handed hit and already had greed for third base in the scoring position.
However, Kim had a double at the top of the fifth inning when his team was losing 0-6. Leading Jackson Merrill’s double to the right, David Peralta’s infield hit and opponent shortstop’s throw provided chances for runners on the first and third bases with no outs.
Kim Ha-sung, who then entered the batter’s box, pulled Suarez’s third 86-mile body cutter at the ball count 1B1S and connected it with a double that fell on the left-field line, bringing third baseman Meryl home. Then, Higashioka’s left-handed hit home Peralta, and Kim Ha-sung, who went to third base, homered when Arez hit a double play to shortstop and followed 3-6.
In the top of the sixth inning, when Xander Bogaerts’ two-run homer to left closed the gap to 4-6, Kim Ha-sung was struck out swinging after two consecutive outs. He missed the bat on right-hander Jacob Webb’s 93.7 mile out fastball.
When his team was losing five to eight, he got on base by making infield hits in the last at bat with no outs and no outs in the ninth inning. After a ten-pitch fight with the opponent team’s right-hander, Janier Cano, he pulled on the 97.6 mile fastball in the middle and made an infield hit towards the shortstop. Shortstop Gunner Henderson missed the big hit by failing to hit a bound. Judging that it was a tricky hit, not an error, he gave a hit.토토사이트
