Kim Hye-seong collected multiple hits and reached base several times, sparking a big win for the Dodgers. Lee Jung-hoo, even in a reserve role, added a hit and an RBI, maintaining his hot stretch.
On the 18th at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, Kim started at second base and hit ninth for the Dodgers, finishing 2-for-3 with an RBI, two runs scored and a walk.
It was his eighth multi-hit game of the season. After reaching base three times, Kim’s batting average climbed to .274.
The first decisive moment came in the top of the second. With two outs and runners on first and third, he turned on an inside curveball and delivered an RBI single to right. In the top of the fourth, he reached on an infield hit and scored on the next batter’s knock.
In the ninth, he drew a leadoff walk and later came around to score on Kyle Tucker’s double, giving him his second run of the game.
The Dodgers totaled 13 hits and routed the Angels 10-1. The victory stretched their winning streak to five games and put them at 29-18 on the season, keeping them atop the National League West.
Lee Jung-hoo continued his steady climb.
San Francisco beat Oakland 10-1, and Lee, who entered as a substitute, went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored.
Lee first appeared as a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh and grounded out, but in the eighth inning with two outs and the bases loaded he laced an infield hit for an RBI — the 80th RBI of his major league career.
He later scored on Harrison Bader’s grand slam. Lee has recorded hits in four straight games, raising his batting average to .266.
San Diego’s Song Seong-mun came in as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the ninth against Seattle but did not get a plate appearance. The Padres won 8-3 for their third consecutive victory.
