Description: A day of bat commas is enough...Kim Ha-sung, who started again against AZ on the 14th, had one hit and one walk
Although 16 consecutive hits and 19 consecutive on-base marches were cut off, a bat comma was enough for the San Diego Padres Kim Ha-sung. Kim Ha-sung, who started again, took a new start with one hit and one walk.
Kim Ha-sung started as the first batter shortstop in an away game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2023 Major League Baseball at Chase Field in Arizona on August 14, recording one hit, one walk, and two strikeouts in four at-bats. The season's batting average remained at 0.286 before.
In an away game against Arizona on the 13th, Kim Ha-sung lost his 16th consecutive hit and 19th consecutive on-base streak with no hits in four at-bats. The aftermath of being struck out by a mysterious ball strike on the body from his first at-bat continued to his last at-bat. Kim Ha-sung, along with Choo Shin-soo (SSG Landers), will hold the Korean Major Leaguer's consecutive hit tie record for 16 consecutive games.
Kim Ha-sung resumed the production of hits from his first at-bat. Kim Ha-sung took the lead in the top of the first inning and hit a 93.7-mile four-seam fastball in the fifth pitch against Arizona starter Pod in a ball count of 3B-1S. Kim Ha-sung even scored the first goal by stepping home during a timely hit to the center field by the follow-up hitter Tatis Jr.
Kim Ha-sung immediately entered his second at-bat after one out in the top of the second inning. Kim Ha-sung completed the multi-base game early by getting a walk after a five-ball match. Kim Ha-sung advanced to second base when Tatis Jr.'s grounder to shortstop, but follow-up hitter Soto stepped down with a grounder to second base and failed to score.
Kim Ha-sung left a regret as he struck out by Pott in his third at-bat with one out and runners on second and second base in the top of the fourth inning and struck out by a changed pitcher Castro in his fourth at-bat with two outs and runners on first and second base in the top of the sixth inning. In his last at-bat after one out in the top of the eighth inning, Kim Ha-sung only hit a grounder to third base in the first pitch.
San Diego started fresh with a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning with timely hits by Tatis Jr., Machado and Cronenworth. San Diego starter Lugo scored six hits, four strikeouts and two runs in five innings, and San Diego ran 4-2 through Cronenworth's one-run timely double in the top of the seventh inning.
However, the San Diego bullpen set fire to the fire. San Diego allowed a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the seventh inning when changed pitcher Martinez hit a two-run home run over the left wall with a distance of 121 meters to Guriel. Later, in the bottom of the eighth inning, the changed pitcher Suarez gave up the winning run to Thomas when he hit a fly ball to the center fielder in the crisis of one out and full base.
In the end, San Diego lost 4-5 on the day, finishing fourth in the NL West with a 56-62 record. Arizona, which escaped from nine consecutive losses the previous day, maintained its third place in the National League West by recovering its winning rate of 50% with 59 wins and 59 losses in the season.
