Los Angeles Dodgers’ Kim Hye-seong recorded his eighth multihit game of the season and crossed home plate three times.<\/p>\n
Kim started at second base and batted ninth in an away game against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. He went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, one RBI, one walk, and one strikeout.<\/p>\n
It marked Kim’s eighth multihit game of the season.<\/p>\n
It was also his second game this season with three times on base since April 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n
His batting average rose to .274 (26 hits in 95 at-bats).<\/p>\n
With the Dodgers leading 1-0 in the top of the second inning and two outs with runners on first and third, Kim drove a 130 km\/h inside curveball from opposing starter Grayson Rodriguez into right field for an RBI single.<\/p>\n
In the fourth inning, with two outs and runners on first and second, he added another hit with an infield single toward first base and later scored on a left-field single by Andy Pages.<\/p>\n
After striking out in the sixth inning, Kim led off the ninth with a walk and later scored again on a double by Kyle Tucker.<\/p>\n
The Dodgers cruised to a 10-1 victory for their fifth straight win.<\/p>\n
At 29-18 with a .617 winning percentage, they remained atop the National League West standings.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants extended his hitting streak to four games.<\/p>\n
Entering as a substitute in the top of the seventh inning during an away game against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, California, Lee went 1-for-2 with one run scored and one RBI.<\/p>\n
His season batting average improved to .266.<\/p>\n
Lee first appeared as a pinch hitter with two outs in the seventh inning and grounded out to the pitcher. In the eighth inning, with the Giants leading 5-1 and the bases loaded, he hit an infield single to second base to drive in a run. The RBI was the 80th of his major league career.<\/p>\n
He later scored on a grand slam to right field by Harrison Bader.<\/p>\n
San Francisco also won 10-1.<\/p>\n
Song Seong-mun of the San Diego Padres entered as a defensive substitute at third base in the bottom of the ninth inning of an away game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.<\/p>\n
However, he did not receive a plate appearance and maintained his batting average at .222.<\/p>\n
San Diego defeated Seattle 8-3 for its third consecutive win.<\/p>\n
