Kim Hye-sung hit in both his first two at-bats as a second baseman in the first game of the three consecutive home games against the Los Angeles Angels at Dodger Stadium on the 17th (Korea time).
Kim Hye-sung, who started the last three consecutive games, entered his first at-bat without a runner after two outs in the bottom of the third inning, trailing 0-2, and lightly pushed the opponent's right-hander Jack Cohanowitz's second pitch outside 94.7 miles sinker on a one-ball to make a clean left-handed hit.
Kim Hye-sung went to second base with a walk by the next batter, Shohei Ohtani, but Mookie Betts grounded out to third base and failed to reach home.
Kim Hye-sung then hit an infield hit in his second at-bat after one out in the fifth inning, trailing 1-4. With a ball count of 2B2S, he pulled in a 90.5-mile changeup that fell into the middle of Kohanowitz's fifth pitch and hit the ball 1-2 bases. Angels second baseman Tim Anderson caught it with difficulty and threw it to first base, but Kim Hye-sung has already passed the base.
Kim Hye-sung hit two hits, one RBI and one run in two at-bats, including a solo home run, against the Athletics on the 15th, and in the same game on the 16th, he led the team to a 19-2 victory with a thrilling performance of three at-bats, two walks, two RBIs, four runs and one stolen base.
He also had two hits on the day, displaying multi-hitters in three consecutive games and nine at-bats. During the period, he posted seven hits and two walks from seven times at bat, raising his batting average to 0.467 (14 hits from 30 times at bat).
However, the inning ended as it was because Ohtani, the next batter, hit a double play by the second baseman.
