Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Kim Hye-sung was absent from the starting lineup for the second consecutive game. Despite live legend Clayton Kershaw's strong pitching, the Dodgers collapsed due to bullpen fire.
The Dodgers lost four to seven in an away game between the Cleveland Guardians and the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) held at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio on Monday (Korea time). With the Dodgers leading 4-2, they gave up five runs en masse in the bottom of the eighth inning.
The Dodgers listed Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Mookie Betts (striker), Teoscar Hernandez (right fielder), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Will Smith (catcher), Andy Parz (left fielder), Tommy Hyun-soo (center fielder), Kieke Hernandez (third baseman), and Miguel Rojas (second baseman) as starters. The starting pitcher was Kershaw, who had a 7.50 ERA before the game this season.
In response, Cleveland formed the starting lineup in the order of Stephen Kwan (left fielder), Angel Martinez (center fielder), Jose Ramirez (designated hitter), Carlos Santana (first baseman), Gabriel Arias (striker), Honkensi Noel (right fielder), Will Wilson (third baseman), Daniel Schniman (second baseman), and Austin Hedges (catcher). The starting pitcher was left-hander Colby Allard, who had two wins and no losses with a 1.50 ERA before this game.
Kim started the game on the bench and was absent without getting on the ground. Recently, Kim has had fewer chances to play in the game since her injured return. She started the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 21st and had no hits in two times at bat. She was absent from the starting lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 22nd. A day off, she was substituted at the game against the New York Mets on the 24th and had a hit. However, she was excluded from the starting lineup again in the game on the 25th and played as a pinch runner in the second half of the game. Kim watched the game from the bench without playing at all in the game on the 26th.
Kim got a chance to play as a starting pitcher for the first time in a long time in a game against Cleveland on Sunday. It was the first time in a week since the game against Arizona on Sunday. However, Kim was replaced by Miguel Rojas at the top of the eighth inning when he had no hit, one strikeout and one run from three times at bat. Most of all, he felt sorry for his team's defense. At the end of the fourth inning when the Dodgers was leading 2-1, Kim failed to catch Kyle Manzardo's hit in one go and dropped it backward. It was fastball of 99.1 mph (159.5 kph), but the official record was Kim's error. Did the fallout influence the coach's decision? Kim was not chosen by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts after the game until Saturday.
Kim Hye-sung has played in 19 games this season with a batting average of 0.366 (15 hits in 41 at-bats), one home run, one double, five RBIs, 10 runs, two walks, eight strikeouts, four steals (0 failed) with an on-base percentage of 0.395 and an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.463 and OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.858.
Dodgers starter Kershaw was shaky in the bottom of the first inning. After Martinez hit a double to left with one out, Ramirez allowed Ramirez to make a timely hit to left. He allowed Santana and Arias to walk consecutively, but allowed Noel to hit a straight hit to center field.
While trailing 0-1, the Dodgers turned the game around in the top of the fourth inning. With one out, Hernandez hit a double to the left and Freeman's grounder to the first base, he settled on the third base. Smith then hit a timely double to the right-center and Pazers hit a timely hit to the right, turning the game around 2-1.
The Dodgers seemed to be solidifying their victory by adding one run each in the sixth and seventh innings. Freeman scored a timely hit in the sixth inning with one out and runners on the second base, and Hernandez, a third baseman, scored in the seventh inning with two outs and runners on the third base. Dodgers ran away 4-1.
However, the Dodgers' bullpen was shaky. Santana hit a timely hit to the right with one out and a runner on the second base in the bottom of the seventh inning for Cleveland. Then, in the bottom of the eighth inning, Cleveland scored five runs en masse, effectively determining the outcome. With the bases loaded with one out, Jones hit a timely hit to tie the game between two RBIs and left field. The next batter is Martinez. Here, he hit a come-from-behind three-run shot against Alex Vesia, Dodgers' new pitcher. The score went up to 7-4 in an instant.
As the Dodgers pulled out after three outs in the top of the ninth inning, the game came to an end. Ohtani had no hit, walked one, and struck out three times at bat. His batting average fell from 0.296 to 0.292. Kershaw left the mound as a winning pitcher by allowing six hits, three strikeouts, two walks and one run (one earned run) during five innings, but failed to secure victory due to fire in the bullpen. Freeman and Smith succeeded in multi hits in the seven-hit lineup. 바카라사이트
