What happened: Pinch-hitting in a 5-5 ninth inning, Kim lined the eighth pitch to left to complete a 6-5 win. He worked a full count and fouled off three straight fastballs before the game-winning hit.

By the numbers: Kim is 6-for-77 (.078) with five RBIs across 32 games in 2026. All six hits are singles, leaving him with a .252 OPS.
