Kim Ha-sung played as the seventh shortstop in an away game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on the 30th (Korea time) and scored two hits and one point in four at-bats.
San Diego won 11 to 1 thanks to the even performance of batters such as Kim Ha-sung, and won five consecutive games, the most this season.
Kim Ha-sung, who succeeded in hitting in eight consecutive games since the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on the 22nd, raised his batting average to 0.227 (65 hits in 286 at-bats). It is the highest batting average since April 27 (0.230). His record of hits in consecutive games was 16 games from the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 25 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 12 last year.
It is the 12th time this season that Kim Ha-sung has made a multi-hit, and it is the first time in 7 days and 6 games since the game against Milwaukee on the 23rd. All indicators are in good shape. He rose to 10 home runs, 37 RBIs, 45 points, 47 walks, and 15 steals, with an on-base percentage of 0.336, a slugging percentage of 0.385, and an OPS of 0.721, respectively.
Kim Ha-sung hit a hit in his first at-bat in the second inning. 1st and 2nd base chances made by consecutive right-handed hits by Donovan Solano and Jackson Merrill. Kim Ha-sung hit a heavy hit by hitting a sinker in the middle of 93.6 miles by opposing starter Tanner Hauc in the two-strike. The batting speed is 102.5 miles.
Second baseman Solano dug home, and first baseman Merrill advanced to third base. However, Kim Ha-sung was not given an RBI. The record holder believes that Boston center fielder Jarran Duran, who caught the ball, failed to catch the rolling ball and missed it and caught it again, and Solano's score was the result of an error. Looking at the slow screen, Solano slowed down shortly after arriving at third base when third base coach Tim Rafer signaled to stop by raising both hands, and then ran home again and was safe when Duran's error came out.
Solano would have stopped at third base without Duran's error, but for Kim Ha-sung, one RBI was disappointing. Since it was a score to take the lead, if it was recognized as an RBI, Kim Ha-sung's hit is the final hit.

Kim Ha-sung drew a 94.9-mile fastball from left-hander Bailey Horn on the first pitch and hit a falling hit in left-center. It was slightly missed, and a ball floating at a speed of 72.8 miles at a launch angle of 20 degrees fell in the middle of the left. Then, as Sullivan hit a home run that fell right next to the right foul pole, San Diego widened the gap to 10-0.
Kim Ha-sung drew a walk after two outs in the seventh inning, when the game was already 10-1. Kim Ha-sung, who went to third base due to Sullivan's infield hit and error, then failed to reach home due to a failed follow-up hit. In the eighth inning, when the score gap widened to 11-1, he was grounded out to shortstop after two outs.
It was a one-sided game by San Diego. San Diego, which scored the first run with a Boston error when Kim Ha-sung hit in the top of the second inning, took the lead with a 3-0 run with Manny Machado's two-run homer in the third inning. In the fourth inning, Meryl scored a solo shot to left-center to widen the gap to 4-0.
And in the fifth inning, he combined five hits and one walk to add six runs, perfectly drawing the flow. Jake Cronenworth hit a right-handed hit, and Macha also hit a three-run home run in the middle to widen the gap to 8-0. After Kim Ha-sung's left-handed hit, Sullivan's two-run shot exploded to make it 10-0.
Machado led the offense with five RBIs with two home runs, and leadoff Arraez played his part with three hits and one walk. Meryl and Sullivan also showed their hot bat skills with three hits and two RBIs and two hits and two RBIs, respectively.
San Diego starter Michael King allowed five hits and one run in six innings and won his sixth game (five losses) of the season.
On the other hand, Boston starter Tanner Hauke (7 wins and 6 losses), who is a strong candidate for the American League Cy Young Award, lost four ⅓ innings with nine hits, including three homers, and allowed eight runs (seven earned runs). His ERA, which was No. 1 in the AL, soared from 2.18 to 2.67.
San Diego has 46 wins and 41 losses, staying second in the National League and second in the wild card.
