He drove the ball into right field for an RBI single, extending the Dodgers’ lead.

In the ninth inning, appearing as the leadoff batter, Kim drew a walk. He eventually crossed home plate again following a double by Kyle Tucker. This performance brought Kim’s season batting average up to .274, based on 26 hits in 95 at-bats.

The victory marked the fifth consecutive win for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
