Kim Hye-sung started the home game against the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium on the 23rd (Korea time) and scored one hit and one point in four at-bats. The Dodgers came from behind to win 13-7 in the sixth and seventh innings with Max Muncy's hard hit, who hit a series of grand slams and three-run homers.
Shohei Ohtani made his second start since returning to the mound and improved his condition by pitching two strikeouts and no runs in one inning, and hit a home run as a batter.
First of all, Kim Hye-sung tried to catch a home run hit in defense at the top of the third inning before entering his first at-bat, but unfortunately missed it. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, left-handed hitter Nathaniel Law hit a fastball in the middle of 96.6 miles by Dodgers starter Ben Casparriers and hit a deep ball to left-center. Kim Hye-sung looked at the ball and chased it, jumped in front of the fence and extended his glove. However, the ball hit the glove on the fence and hit a male fan's hand again before falling inside.
At first, the in-play was declared, but it was reversed to a home run through a review by the umpires. It was a disappointing defense.

It is the first time in four days that Kim Hye-sung hit a double since the match against the San Diego Padres on the 19th. However, the follow-up Michael Confoto struck out and did not advance further.
Kim Hye-sung then went out as the leadoff hitter in the seventh inning and got on base due to an error, setting the stage for seven runs in the big innings. Second baseman Luis Garcia Jr. caught and missed a ground ball that pulled right-hander Ryan Lutos' 87.6-mile slider on his body, living at first base. Kim Hye-sung, who advanced to second base due to Confoto's left-handed hit and third base due to Dalton Rushing's walk, then homered on Ohtani's right triple.
After Ohtani's three-run triple made a 7-3 run, the Dodgers widened the gap to 11-3 with Mookie Betts' timely hit and Muncy's three-run shot to the center. Kim Hye-sung stepped down with a fly ball to left field in the fourth at-bat in the seventh inning when he returned to the batter's box. Kim Hye-sung, who succeeded in hitting in four consecutive games, marked a batting average of 0.372 (29 hits in 78 at-bats), two homers, five doubles, one triple, 12 RBIs, 15 runs, and an OPS of 0.948.

Ohtani, who handled the lead CJ Abrams with a ground ball to the first base, induced left-handed batter James Wood to fly high in the infield, but shortstop Betts caught and missed behind the mound.
However, he struck out left-handed batter Garcia Jr. with a sweeper falling 85.9 miles on the fifth pitch in the ball count of 2B2S, and threw a wild pitch at the batter's box with another left-handed batter, Nathaniel, but he struck out swinging with an 88.3 mile cutter to end the inning.
