Kim Do-young of the Kia Tigers is on the verge of setting another franchise record.
Kim started at third base against LG on June 26 at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. He went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBIs, and one run scored, extending his streak of consecutive hits, consecutive runs scored, and consecutive RBIs. However, it was not to be as the team lost the game.
Kim was thrown out at first base in the first inning on a fly ball to center field. Trailing 0-1 in the bottom of the third, Kim came to bat with runners on second and third. Kim drew a changeup from Yoon-Sik Kim and hit a double to left-center field.
It was a two-run double that brought both runners home. It made it a 2-1 game. Kim extended his hitting streak to 16 games and his RBI streak to six games.
Kim then advanced to third on Choi Hyung-woo’s grounder to second base and scored on Socrates’ single to right. 13 games in a row. 바카라사이트 With the run, Kim is one game away from tying the KIA franchise record. Kim Joo-chan’s 14-game streak is the longest in Kia’s history.
In the fourth inning, Kim hit a single to left-center field to put runners on first and third.
A wild pitch by pitcher Kim Dae-hyun allowed the runners to score from third. Kim Do-young followed with an RBI single. By the fourth inning, KIA led 5-1.
However, Kim’s energy waned in the middle of the game. In the sixth inning with the bases loaded and the score 5-4, Kim struck out against Woo Kang-hoon. In the eighth inning, when the score was 6-7, he struck out against Kim Jin-sung.
It wasn’t just Kim Do-young, but the entire Kia lineup made errors. A throwing error by the center fielder, a mistake by the catcher for a not out, and a botched play on a replay allowed the opponent to score the winning run.
Kim Do-young hit his 10th home run of the season off Kim Sun-ki against Gochuk Kiwoom on May 25, becoming the first KBO player to hit 10 home runs and 10 doubles in a single month. This is a milestone that even Themz (former NC), 안전 토토사이트 the only other KBO player to achieve 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases, has not achieved.
On the 26th, he continued his good performance against LG Electronics, but KIA suffered an upset loss. Kia’s three-game winning streak came to a halt, and the gap between them and second-place NC narrowed to three games.
Meanwhile, KIA will start Hwang Dong-ha in the starting rotation on the 27th with Lee Yi-ri out due to injury. LG will start foreign pitcher Enes.
