Against Oakland, Kim reached base for the 36th time this year without getting a hit.
For the second straight game, Ha-Sung Kim (San Diego Padres) was silent.
Kim went 0-for-5 with a walk and a strikeout in his first at-bat as the Padres batted first and second against the visiting Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB) on Saturday (July 16) at Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California, USA.
Kim’s batting average dropped to .266 on the season. San Diego won 8-3.
After singling to center field in the first inning, striking out in the second and eighth innings, and walking in the fourth, Kim stole second base after picking off a straight-up grounder in the sixth inning to extend his season stolen base total to 36.
After sliding, Kim felt pain in his left ankle, but after a brief check with manager Bob Melvin and a trainer, he stayed in the game.
Kim needs three more home runs to join the 20-homer, 20-double club.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Kim made up for his lack of success at the plate by chasing down Ryan Noda’s line drive and throwing him out at first base. In his final at-bat in the ninth, he grounded out to shortstop.
San Diego pulled away from Oakland behind three-run homers from Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jose Asocar, 카지노사이트킴 who combined to go 3-for-4 with a home run and an RBI single.
