Oklahoma City is a city in the central United States. It is also a fairly large city in Oklahoma. It is also a place that Koreans are not familiar with except for the NBA basketball team Oklahoma City Thunder.

At Chicaso Bricktown Ball Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the U.S., Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets under the Los Angeles Dodgers and El Paso Chihuahua under the San Diego Padres faced off.

Kim Hye-sung is the first player to pay attention to. He ambitiously chose to join the LA Dodgers ahead of this season, but lost out in the spring camp competition to start the season in the minor leagues. Since then, he has been playing for Oklahoma City.

While Kim Hye-sung and Benjamin were fighting, there was a player who cheered up, so it was Peraza. Peraza started as El Paso's fifth hitter and went 2 for 5 with three RBIs. Peraza, who became a sensation in the Hanwha Eagles uniform last season with strong hitting and hustle play at the beginning of the season, but failed to renew his contract by showing weakness in both ball and defense, sought to make a comeback in San Diego, but is currently living in a minor league.

It was this player who reached the peak of the fire dragon. The Dodgers" Living Legend" Kershaw. Kershaw is rehabbing with a toe injury, and he checked his actual sense by playing in the game. Kershaw allowed four hits, one walk, four strikeouts and three runs in five innings. Two out of four hits are home runs. He was scoreless until the fourth inning, but allowed two home runs in the fifth inning.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers came from behind to lose 4-13.
