Kim Hye-sung started as No. 9 second baseman in Game 2 of the four consecutive home games against the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on the 4th (Korea time) and recorded no hits in 2 at-bats. Strikeout both times.
Kim Hye-sung, who started as the 9th shortstop against the Mets the previous day and recorded 2 hits in 4 at-bats, had a chance to start for 2 consecutive games with right-hander Tyler Megill starting the day. However, he took the batter's box twice against Megill, who is strong against left-handed hitters, but struck out consecutively.
Kim Hye-sung struck out in his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning with a 4-1 lead. At the ball count of 1B2S, Megill's 85-mile slider fell toward his body on the fifth pitch.
He then went as the leadoff hitter in the fifth inning, trailing 4-5, and struck out swinging again. On the ball count 1B2S, Megill was tricked by an 83.2 mile slider that fell towards his body on the fourth pitch, turning the bat in vain.
Eventually, Kim Hye-sung was replaced by pinch hitter Tommy Edman in the seventh inning with two outs and a runner on first base. The opposing pitcher was left-hander Brandon Waddell. Thorough left-hander avoidance pinch-hitter replacement.
With this, Kim Hye-sung marked a batting average of 0.404 (21 hits in 52 times at bat), two homers, seven RBIs, 13 points, three walks, 11 strikeouts, five steals, and an OPS of 0.994. He still maintained a batting average in the 400s, but revealed the limit of being replaced again against left-handed pitchers.

After one out, Mookie Betts opened the scoring with a right-handed hit. Freddie Freeman hit a double running down the right-field line to bring Betts home to tie it. At this time, Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil missed the ball in the process of relaying the ball, so Freeman advanced to third base, and Freeman homered when Will Smith grounded out to first base after Teoscar Hernandez's walk.
The next batter, Max Muncy, then hit a superior two-run shot to widen the gap to 4-1. Muncy drew Megill's 95.1 mile fastball and drew an arch well over the right fence. The batting speed is 108.3 miles and the distance is 407 feet.
However, the Mets' counterattack was also strong. In the top of the third inning, Francisco Lindor had a heavy hit and Marte had a grounder to second base with one out. Juan Soto then pulled a fastball in the middle of 91.2 miles by Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw to hit a two-run homer that flew well over the right fence to catch up with the score 3-4. He hit his 11th homer of the season with a shooting angle of 31 degrees, a batting speed of 102.1 miles and a driving distance of 397 feet. Soto has drawn three arches in the last four games, raising his batting sense to a great extent.
The Mets then added two runs in the top of the fifth inning with Alonso's double and Brandon Nemo's infield hit with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, turning the tide to 5-4.
However, in the bottom of the ninth inning, Muncy, who was the leadoff hitter, again hit a solo home run that flew well over the right-center fence, bringing the game to square one at 5-5. Muncy pulled a high fastball in the middle of right-hander Wasca Brazovan's 96.8 miles and slotted it over the right fence into the 408-p range.
Muncy, who drew his 8.9th arch of the season, hit six home runs in the last seven games.
In the end, the Dodgers won 6-5 in the bottom of the 10th inning when Freeman hit a walk-off double to the left with one out and runners on the first and second bases. The Dodgers, which lost two consecutive games, maintained their No. 1 position in the NL West with 37 wins and 24 losses.
