Ha-Seong Kim's Late Hit Secures Braves' Victory Over Phillies

Ha-Seong Kim played a pivotal role in the Atlanta Braves' 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night at Truist Park, delivering a key hit in the 11th inning.

The game saw the Phillies take a 5-4 lead in the top of the 11th, but Kim responded with a game-tying single that brought Ozzie Albies home. Drake Baldwin then hit a walk-off double, allowing Kim to score from first base, which solidified the Braves' five-game lead in the National League East.

Manager Walt Weiss praised Kim's perseverance throughout a challenging season marked by injuries and offensive struggles. Despite a slow start after returning from surgery on his finger, Kim's recent performances have been crucial for the Braves, including a previous walk-off hit against the Dodgers and a two-run single against the Rays. His contributions have been vital as the Braves aim for postseason success.
