━ In the first inning.
No match for San Francisco left-hander Sean Munaya, who was a one-hitter in San Diego last year. Monaya pitched six innings and seven hits (one homer) with eight strikeouts and two walks.
In the second inning, Kim Ha-seong led off with a walk to Monaya. After two strikes, he made three consecutive foul cuts but was struck down by Monaya’s six-pitch 89.2 mph (143.6 km/h) four-seam fastball.
With one out in the fourth, he flied out to center field. He took a low 88 mph (141.6 km/h) changeup from Monaya on the outside of the plate, but it went straight to center field.

In the sixth inning, with the bases loaded, he hit a grounder to center field. With the count 2-1, he took a four-pitch, low 92.9 mph fastball on the body, but it sailed high and into the center fielder’s glove.
In the top of the ninth, he faced San Francisco right-hander Camilo Dorbala and drove a 97.9 mph (157.6 km/h) fastball two pitches up and into the right-field bleachers. It was a slice, so it sailed toward the right-field foul line, but San Francisco right fielder Mike Yastrzemski leaped to make the catch.
In his final at-bat, a grounder to second base in the 10th inning of extra innings, he was thrown out at second base. He hit a 96.2 mph (154.8 km/h) four-seam fastball up the middle of the fifth from San Francisco right-hander John Brevia, but it didn’t leave the infield. 토토사이트
