Kim Ha-seong saved the day for the Atlanta Braves with a walk-off hit during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran infielder, who has had a tough season, stepped up to pinch-hit for Victor Mederos with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. Running with runners at first and second, he took three balls before connecting with a fastball, breaking up a potential win for the Dodgers.
Kim's hit, which sailed to left field, allowed Lane Thomas to score and clinch a 6-5 victory for the Braves. The 30-year-old former Gold Glove winner had not hit since June 3, but his timely hit brought the team a much-needed win. The celebration that followed saw Kim mobbed by his teammates halfway between first and second base, a fitting send-off for his rare bright moment on the field.
