Kim Hye-sung started the away game against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on the 29th (Korea time) and recorded no hits in three at-bats. The Dodgers won the game 5-2.
Manager Dave Roberts reported that Kim Hye-sung, who died in the eighth inning against the Boston Red Sox the previous day, played with shoulder pain for the last five to six days.
However, with his condition improving, he started on the same day. However, it did not show a powerful hit.
Kim Hye-sung struck out three pitches by Cincinnati right-hander rookie Chase Burns in his first at-bat with no outs in the top of the second inning when the score was tied 1-1. He swung and missed on a fastball over the strike zone outside 99.6 miles from the two-strike.

In the first two at-bats, he couldn't timing Burns' fastball properly.
With a 3-1 lead, Kim Hye-sung hit a sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning with one out and a runner on first base. However, Burns' throw to first base, which caught the ball, became a bad pitch to fall behind the first baseman, and Kim Hye-sung lived at first base, and first baseman Michael Confoto advanced to third base, leading to a chance with one out and runners on first and third bases.
Kim Hye-sung was given a sacrifice bunt error record. However, when Miguel Rojas grounded out to first base, third baseman Confoto was out of the home, and Dalton Rushing pulled the 81.2-mile sweeper well on the first pitch of pitcher Sam Mall, but failed to add to the score due to right field's good defense.
With a 5-1 lead in the seventh inning, the bases loaded with one out were pulled out by a fly to the shortstop. Taylor Rogers hit a 91.8-mile sinker that missed the 91.8-mile high course on the first pitch, but it hit a miss and flew high into the infield.
Kim Hye-sung's batting average fell from 0.311 to 0.304 (42 hits in 138 at-bats), threatening 30% again. He has a batting average of 0.154 (4 hits in 26 times at bat) in the second half of the season.
