LA Dodgers manager David Roberts turned a blind eye to Kim Hye-sung again. Kim Hye-sung only kept the bench despite playing a great match for 6 hours and 39 minutes until the end of the 18th inning.

The Dodgers won 6-5 after pitching in the 18th inning of overtime in Game 3 of the 2025 Major League Postseason against the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on the 28th. Freddie Freeman exploded a walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the 18th inning when the score was 5-5. The Dodgers had a 2-1 series advantage.

Kim Hye-sung was included in the World Series entry but was unable to play until Game 3. As outfielder Andy Paz was extremely sluggish, expectations were high that Kim Hye-sung could get a chance, but Roberts was cool.




Toronto utilized all five of its bench members.

However, the Dodgers maintained their main lineup as much as possible.

The Dodgers' first pinch-hit came at the end of the 13th inning. Leadoff hitter Tommy Edman hit a double. Pinch-hitter Miguel Rojas appeared at the batter's box of Quique Hernandez. It was the right timing to put Kim Hye-sung as a pinch runner, but he didn't move. Rojas made a sacrifice bunt. Alex Cole then came back as a pinch hitter at the Pazs at-bat. Cole was out on an infield fly ball.




Toronto sent Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts both on intentional pitches with two outs and third base. Freeman failed to score after hitting a fly ball to center field.

In the bottom of the 14th inning, Kim Hye-sung, a pinch runner, could not be seen even in the chance to get first and second bases with one out.

The first and last replacement of the main fielder was the second pinch-hit in the bottom of the 13th inning. Roberts, however, proved his choice right by leading the team to victory.




The Dodgers finally laughed at the end of the 18th inning. Freeman blasted a walk-off home run over the central fence. Ending this tremendous blood clot.

It was a battle of 19 pitchers from both teams.

Kim played in 71 regular season games this year. He hit a .28 batting average. In the postseason, there is only one player to play. He became a pinch runner in the bottom of the 11th inning of the division series against the Philadelphia Phillies and became the main player of the walk-off score.
