In the 7th inning, with one out, he struck out on a swing by 6th pitch reliever Peter Lambert, a 91.1 mile (146.6 km) slider.

In the 7th inning, he showed great play on defense. Kim Ha-seong caught Charlie Blackman’s fastball with quick feet in the 7th inning with one out and caught the out with a glove throw. It was somewhat difficult to catch because the exit speed was slow at 38.4 miles (61.8 km). According to Baseball Savant, the official major league statistics site, the expected batting average of this batted ball was not low at 3.2.

In the last at-bat in the ninth inning, Kim Ha-seong threw a 77.9 mile (125.4 km) changeup from relief pitcher Brent Shooter, but was caught with a floater by the second baseman.
