Then, in the middle of the inning, he finally got a hit. With runners on first and third in the fifth inning and his team leading 6-1, Kim singled up the middle against Colorado’s second pitcher, Peter Lambert.
Zander Bogaerts, who was pinch running for Kim, came home to score. It was his 20th RBI of the season.
After that, Kim struck out in the seventh and doubled in the ninth.

Meanwhile, San Diego starter Darvish Yu struggled a bit on the day, allowing four runs on five hits with four walks and six strikeouts in 5.1 innings, but was able to get the win with the help of his offense, including Kim.
With his fifth win of the season, Darvish reached the 100-win plateau in the big leagues. It came 11 years after his debut with the Texas Rangers in 2012.먹튀검증
