The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the New York Mets in a home game of the 2025 U.S. Major League Baseball at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday. It is the third of four consecutive home games against the Mets.
The Dodgers revealed its starting lineup right before the game. There was no name for Kim Hye-sung.스포츠토토
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts started with Shohei Ohtani (designated hitter), Mookie Betts (striker), Freddie Freeman (first baseman), Teoscar Hernandez (right fielder), Andy Parz (center fielder), Michael Confoto (left fielder), Dalton Rushing (catcher), and Enrique Hernandez (second baseman). Starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin.
The Dodgers' second baseman on the day was Hernandez, not Kim Hye-sung or Tommy Edman. Kim did not get a chance even though she hit over .400 this season.
Kim's batting performance is at its peak these days. Kim had four hits, two RBIs and three runs from four times at bat in the game against the New York Yankees on Tuesday last week. He also showed off his slugging capability, hitting a homer and a two-base hit each.
He also had multi hits by recording two hits in four at-bats against the Mets on Sunday. However, he had two strikeouts and no hits in two at-bats against the Mets on Sunday. In the bottom of the seventh inning, he replaced Edman at his third at-bat, which he came from two outs and first base.
Kim has a batting average of 0.404 and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.994 for this season. Although she failed to fill the required at-bats, she displayed tremendous attack strength despite limited playing time.
Nevertheless, Roberts used a thorough platoon system that excludes Kim Hye-sung when the opponent team's starting pitcher is left-handed. It was not easy for Roberts to change his mind even if he hit a home run against the left-hander.
The Mets' starting pitcher is not even a left-hander. Griffin Canning, a right-handed pitcher, is recording five wins, two losses and an earned run average of 3.23 in 11 games and 53 innings this season.
The Dodgers beat the Mets 6-5 on Wednesday after a tight game that extended through the 10th inning. The Mets sent Ohtani, the leadoff hitter, to an intentional walk in the bottom of the 10th inning. Consequently, it turned out to be a handshake.
