Statcast of the Day: Kim’s homer truly one of a kind
- Updated: September 29, 2016
TORONTO — Hyun Soo Kim has come a long way. Since declining the Orioles’ request to option him to Triple-A Norfolk at the start of this season and hearing jeers on Opening Day at Camden Yards, Kim has turned himself into one of the team’s most consistent — and popular — players.
On Wednesday night, Kim came through with the biggest hit of his young big league career, delivering a lead-changing, pinch-hit two-run home run with one out in the ninth inning of the Orioles’ 3-2 win over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
In the race for the second American League Wild Card spot, the Orioles remained one game ahead of the Tigers, who rallied for a rain-shortened win over the Indians on Wednesday, and two games up on the Mariners, who routed the Astros.
