Kim Ha-sung recorded one hit in three at-bats in the rubber-game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Petco Park on the 8th (Korea time).
Kim Ha-sung, who had three hits the previous day, raised his batting average to 0.229 (71 hits in 310 at-bats) again on the same day. Ten home runs, 40 RBIs, 47 runs, 47 walks, and 17 steals remain the same, marking an on-base percentage of 0.331, a slugging percentage of 0.384, and an OPS of 0.715.
Kim Ha-sung, who started as the eighth shortstop, struck out swinging in his first at-bat in the bottom of the third inning when he faced 1-1. He misplayed the bat on Arizona right-hander line Nelson's high fastball outside 95.9 miles.
However, he made a hit in the fifth inning when the 1-1 balance continued. On the ball count 1B2S, Nelson's cutter, which fell to a 92.8-mile outside ball on the fourth pitch, hit a hit that fell in front of right fielder Corbin Carroll. I was able to hit the ball accurately with my back slightly out, so I was able to hit a clean hit. It had an angle of 18 degrees, a batting speed of 75.3 miles, and a distance of 220 feet.
Tom Candyotti, who served as a commentator for the Roku Channel broadcasting the game, said "Nelson threw a very good cutter to the outside of the plate to deceive Kim Ha-sung, and deplorably, Kim Ha-sung kept the bat in the strike zone for a long time and hit it exactly, sending a soft line-drive to the right." It was a good hitting."
However, San Diego finished the inning without scoring a point after the next batter, Luis Campusano's groundout to shortstop forced Kim Ha-sung out of the second base.
He hit an infield grounder in his third at-bat in the eighth inning, trailing 1-4. Kim Ha-sung, who entered the batter's box after one, drew a 97.9-mile sinker that penetrated his body closely for the third pitch at the ball count of 1B1S, but was caught by third baseman Eugenio Suarez's agile bound catch. It was a 100-mile batting speed.

San Diego starter Dylan Sheese pitched hard with five hits and three runs in seven innings, but he was 7-8 with a 4.21 ERA in the season.
Arizona scored the first run with Carroll's superior solo home run in the top of the first inning. San Diego tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning when Jurickson Profar countered with a superior solo home run.
The game, which was followed by a tight balance, was broken by Suarez's two-run homer in the top of the seventh inning. Suarez pulled Siz's 97.4 mile fastball into the left fence with two outs and a runner on first base. Shizu shook his head as if it was hard to understand when the ball crossed the fence.
Arizona added a point with Gabriel Moreno's timely hit in the eighth inning, and then hit the San Diego bullpen with five hits and five runs in the ninth inning to seal the victory.
