Kim Ha Sung from San Diego.
The second Korean Day didn't come true. Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres), the only player to play, also had no hits in five at-bats.
Kim Ha-sung started as the first batter and second baseman in a visit game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) and had no hits and two strikeouts in five at-bats. With no hits on the day, Kim Ha-sung's season batting average fell slightly to 0.253.
The highly anticipated second Korean major leaguers did not face off. On the previous day (28th), Kim Ha-sung and Bae Ji-hwan (Pittsburgh) started side by side, but Bae Ji-hwan was absent in the next day (29th). On the previous day, Kim Ha-sung had three hits and two RBIs, and Bae Ji-hwan was sent off for an unfair decision for no hits, but he set the stage for the team's come-from-behind victory with a sacrifice fly.

Kim Ha-sung, who had recently recorded a multi-hit march for two consecutive games as the first batter, was silent in the game. Kim Ha-sung, who struck out in his first at-bat in the first inning, failed to score hits and RBIs as he stepped down with a fly ball to left field in the second inning with two outs and runners on second and third base. Kim Ha-sung, who failed to harvest a hit due to a fly ball in the first half of the fifth inning, struck out swinging at first base with two outs in the seventh inning. In the top of the ninth inning with two outs and a full base, he cut five balls, but failed to score as he stepped down with an infield grounder. 배트맨토토
The game ended with Pittsburgh's 7-1 victory. Two consecutive wins following the previous day. Pittsburgh took the lead with Carlos Santana's two-run home run in the first inning and drove in a wedge with five runs and big innings in the bottom of the seventh inning. Pittsburgh, which made the bases loaded with four outs and two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, ran away with three more runs by combining Josh Palacios' timely hit and two-run timely hit in the corner group. Henry Davis' timely hit added two more points to win the game.

San Diego, which fought hard alone by Kim Ha-sung the previous day, failed to use its strength when Kim Ha-sung was silent. He made up for one point in the top of the sixth inning when he was being dragged 0-. Following leadoff hitter Fernando Tatis Jr.'s hit and wild pitch, Xander Bogartz's timely hit made up for one point. However, he remained silent without taking advantage of the following opportunities. In the top of the ninth inning, Bogartz and Rugged Odor hit the bases loaded with two outs, but there was no score. The loss put San Diego in a four-game losing streak.
