Kim steals two bases vs. Reds
Ha-Seong Kim stole two bases while going 1-for-3 with a walk against the Reds on Thursday. Kim was also thrown out stealing for the second time this season, but the pair of thefts do bring his season total to 13. That’s a solid number, obviously, but his .216/.335/.369 slash has left a lot to be desired. Despite those poor numbers he does have six homers and 22 RBI, so we’ll call Kim’s 2024 campaign a mixed bag.
Stanton swats solo home run in win vs. M’s
Giancarlo Stanton swatted a solo homer and drew a walk in a win over the Mariners on Thursday. Stanton absolutely blistered a Luis Castillo offering into Monument Park to give New York a 1-0 lead. The 6-foot-6 power bat has gone deep 12 times in 2024, and he’s up to 27 RBI with the roundtripper.
