Pittsburgh Pirates’ Bae Ji-hwan continued his five-game hiatus.

Bae started in the eighth spot in the lineup and batted second against the Miami Marlins in the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) World Series at Marlins Park in Miami, Florida.

Bae went 0-for-3 and hasn’t had a hit since April 19 against the Milwaukee Brewers. His batting average, which was up to .277 just two weeks ago, has dropped to .250.

Bae failed to produce a hit in the top of the third inning when he hit a grounder to second base with one out. Henry Davis was thrown out at second, allowing Bae to advance to first, but the next batter, Austin Hedges, struck out to end the inning.

Bae struck out in his next two at-bats. In the bottom of the eighth, he moved to center field and played the rest of the game, but his performance didn’t meet the team’s expectations.온라인바카라

Pittsburgh scored two runs in each of the top of the fourth and eighth innings to take a 4-1 lead before surrendering five runs in the bottom of the eighth to fall to 4-6 and snap a 10-game losing streak.

Starter Mitch Kelly was the ace with seven innings of five-hit ball, striking out five and walking one, but the bullpen that followed couldn’t protect the lead.
