Scott II collects two hits vs. Dodgers
Victor Scott II tallied his first two big league hits and scored a pair of runs as the Cardinals fell to the Dodgers on Sunday night in Los Angeles. The 23-year-old speedster singled to lead off the third inning, advanced to second on a single by Masyn Winn and raced around to score on an RBI knock off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt. Scott also roped a double into the gap in left center to lead off the fifth inning and scored on an RBI single by Brendan Donovan. Scott also drew a walk during the Cardinals’ two-run rally in the seventh inning. He’s still hitting just .143 (2-for-14) through his first four games, but his game-changing speed makes him a must-roster player in all formats.
Kim goes 3-for-4 vs. Giants
Ha-Seong Kim went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and three runs scored in the Padres’ 13-4 win over the Giants on Sunday. Kim was a big part of the Padres’ four-run second inning, blasting a Daulton Jefferies pitch 357 feet to left field at 98.8 mph off the bat. It was a three-run shot and accounted for all of his RBI on the day, but he also added a double and a single in later at-bats. While Kim doesn’t post eye-popping exit velocities, he does a good job getting to his power by making use of pulled fly balls, as he did today. As a result, the home run totals he posted last year aren’t overly flukey, and he should be in for another good season hitting in the middle of the Padres lineup.
