Tampa Bay Race Kim Ha-sung hit multiple hits, including a home run, signaling a revival.

Kim Ha-sung started as the 7th shortstop in an away game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on the 11th (Korea time) and hit 2 at-bats, 2 hits, 2 RBIs, 1 run and 1 walk in his first 3 at-bats.

He was hot from his first at-bat.




Tampa Bay, which took the opportunity with a double by lead Josh Law in the top of the second inning, trailing 0-4, recovered one run by bringing Law home with Kim Ha-sung hitting a double to the left with one out and second base

In 1B2S, Kim Ha-sung pulled a 95.8-mile sinker that penetrated Seattle right-hander Brian Woo's fifth pitch and hit a line drive double that flew like a shot to the left of left field. The ball, which flew at a speed of 105.2 miles, fell into the outfield and flowed to the fence and stopped.

However, Kim Ha-sung could not advance further because the two subsequent batters were struck out in a row.

Kim Ha-sung hit a home run in his second at-bat. When Woo's first 96.5-mile fastball flew into his body with no runner in the fourth inning, trailing 2-4, he swung the bat like a lightning bolt and connected it with a solo home run slightly over the left fence. The launch angle was 21 degrees, the batting speed was 102.2 miles, and the distance was 366 feet.

It is the first time in 31 days that Kim Ha-sung hit a home run since his two-run shot to the left in the top of the fourth inning against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on July 11. His second homer of the season. The homer cut the gap to 3–4.

Kim Ha-sung walked with a straight walk after two outs in the sixth inning when the 3-4 inferiority continued. This was the result of Woo's careful cornering after being hit by long balls in two consecutive at-bats earlier. However, subsequent Jake Maeng-um struck out swinging and failed to score.




Kim Ha-sung, who made his Tampa Bay debut on July 5 after signing a two-year, $29 million FA contract last winter and continuing his shoulder surgery rehabilitation in a Tampa Bay uniform, made a multi-hit for the third time in the season and 22 days since the game against the Baltimore Orioles on the 20th of last month, and the first time in 17 games that he got on base three times.

Meanwhile, Seattle's Carrolli, who ranks first in home runs in the Major League, drew his 45th arch of the season with a superior two-run shot in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning.
