Kim had been quiet the previous day, going 0-for-4, ending his hitting streak at 16 games. The next day, however, he followed that up with a multi-hit game.
San Diego starter Lugo came off the mound with the win after allowing two runs (two earned) on six hits (one home run) in five innings, striking out four, but the bullpen couldn’t protect the lead. His quest for his fifth win of the season will have to wait.
