Kim Hye-seong (Los Angeles Dodgers infielder) recorded hits and runs for two consecutive days. The Dodgers suffered a loss after a lengthy battle in extra innings.

On the 7th (Korean time), Kim Hye-seong started as the 9th second baseman in an away game against the Miami Marlins held at loanDepot park in Miami, Florida, United States.

After the game, Kim Hye-seong shared in an interview with local broadcasting, "The Dodgers are a strong team, and I wanted to contribute in any way possible. I feel like I was able to contribute a bit today, so I'm happy about that." Kim Hye-seong, who recorded his first hit in Major League Baseball, said, "Since I was leading off that moment, I thought I absolutely had to get on base, and with such strong hitters behind me, I wanted to make sure I got on base, and I was really happy to do so."

The Dodgers' starting lineup included designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, right fielder Andy Pahes, first baseman Freddie Freeman, catcher Will Smith, third baseman Max Muncy, left fielder Michael Conforto, shortstop Miguel Rojas, center fielder James Outman, and second baseman Kim Hye-seong.

In the 5th inning, with 2 outs, he got on base with a single to center. However, he was tagged out while trying to advance to first base. The Dodgers bench requested a video review, but the original call was upheld.
