Kim Ha-sung has produced hits in every game since the Pittsburgh Pirates match on the 25th of last month. Unfortunately, he failed to get on-base multiple times (more than two on-base hits in one game), failing to set a new multi-base record in consecutive Asian batters. In the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 8th, he succeeded in multi-base hits in 15 consecutive games and tied for first place as an Asian hitter in this category along with Ichiro Suzuki of Japan.
Kim Ha-sung, who stepped down as the leadoff hitter in the top of the first inning with a swing strikeout, was also struck out with two outs in the top of the third inning when he faced 0-0. Entering his third at-bat in the top of the sixth inning, trailing 0-1, he watched the seventh ball that came deep into his body from a ball count of two balls and two strikes, but the referee ruled that it was a strike. Kim Ha-sung did not leave his seat and protested to the referee, but it was not accepted.
The hit came in the final attack in the ninth inning, trailing 0-2. Kim Ha-sung hit the outside slider for the third time in the ball count 2 strike to get a heavy hit. However, follow-up hitter Fernando Tatis Jr. was forced out at second base after hitting a ground ball to shortstop. Choi Ji-man of the same team came out as a pinch hitter in the top of the eighth inning, trailing 0-2, picked up a walk, and was replaced by a pinch runner.
