Kim Ha-sung, who caught up with Kang Jung-ho, home run in 14 days... Season 10th - 46th in ML

Kim Ha-sung started the game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2024 Major League regular season at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 23rd (Korea time) and made two hits (one home run) in three at-bats (one RBI and two runs). San Diego beat Milwaukee 6-4 in the fourth inning with four big score innings and starter Randy Vazquez's five scoreless innings.

Kim Ha-sung, who took his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning with two outs and a third base, stepped down with a fly ball to the second base after a full count match against Milwaukee starter Carlos Rodriguez.

San Diego took the lead with Jackson Merrill's first three-run homer in the bottom of the fourth inning. Kim Ha-sung, who took the batter's box for the second time with two outs and no runners, picked up three consecutive balls from the 0-2 disadvantageous ball count against Rodriguez, leading the game to a full count. As the slider at the sixth pitch was sent to the strike zone, Kim Ha-sung did not miss it and kicked it hard. The ball, which flew 374 feet (114 meters) at 97.5 miles (156.9 kilometers) per hour, became a solo shot that crosses the left fence. 토토사이트 순위

It was his first home run in 14 days since the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 9th. Kim Ha-sung, who reported his 10th home run of the season, became the second Korean major leaguer to hit double-digit home runs for three consecutive seasons after Choo Shin-soo (the longest four consecutive seasons). In addition, he achieved 46 home runs in his career, tying for third place in Korean big leaguers' total home runs (first place Choo Shin-soo 218 home runs, second place Choi Ji-man 67 home runs).

Kim Ha-sung, who experienced a cold homer for the first time in a long time, completed a multi-hit game while throwing away. As the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the seventh inning with San Diego leading 4-0, Kim hit a slider at the third pitch with the ball count 1-1 against Jacob Junis, making a critical hit that was escaping the shortstop's diving catch. With one out and Kyle Higashioka's two-run homer, Kim Ha-sung even scored a run.

San Diego caused a crisis with two hits and a walk while Jani Brito (four runs in ⅔ innings) had two outs in the top of the ninth inning with a 6-0 lead, and eventually Bryce Turang hit a grand slam to chase him down by two runs. San Diego closer Roberto Suarez, who took the mound with one out count left at 6-4, grounded out William Contreras at third base after three pitches and earned his 19th save of the season.

Kim Ha-sung, who had a home run in 14 days and a multi-hit in 15 days, saw his season batting average rise to 0.220 and OPS to 0.721. Kim Ha-sung, who has 10 home runs-15 steals at a time when his team played 81 games, exactly half of the season, is running toward 20 home runs-20 steals, which was not achieved due to a decrease in physical strength in the second half of last year (17 home runs and 38 steals).
