Song Sung-mun of the San Diego Padres has marked his return to the majors by collecting an RBI.<\/p>\n
The Korean infielder went 0-for-2 with an RBI, a walk and a steal in the Padres’ 5-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Sunday (local time).<\/p>\n
Song was called up from Triple-A El Paso just before the game and got the start at third base while batting ninth, six days after he had been sent down to the minors.<\/p>\n
The Padres brought back Song and also reinstated outfielder Samad Taylor from the injured list (IL), while placing two position players, Luis Rengifo and Gavin Sheets, on the IL.<\/p>\n
Song lined out to center in the top of the third inning and grounded out to shortstop Taylor Walls in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n
Then in the top seventh, with the Padres up 2-1, Song hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Taylor from third to give his team a two-run lead.<\/p>\n
Song was walked intentionally in the top ninth and then pulled off a double steal with Xander Bogaerts for his 13th steal of the season.<\/p>\n
The Padres gave up two runs in the bottom ninth to send the game to extra innings. They scored a go-ahead run in the top 11th, but then the Rays walked them off with two runs in the bottom half of that inning.<\/p>\n
Song is batting .198 in his first Major League Baseball (MLB) season with one home run, 16 RBIs and 13 steals in 63 games.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in MLB, Kim Ha-seong of the Atlanta Braves went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his team’s 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Truist Park in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
The Korean shortstop is now batting .081, with only seven hits in 86 at-bats in an injury-plagued season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Song Sung-mun of the San Diego Padres runs to first base on a sacrifice bunt during a Major…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":877693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-877692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=877692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/877693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=877692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=877692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=877692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
