The San Diego Padres' Ha-seong Kim reached base on a walk but was unable to get a hit for the second straight game.
Kim went 0-for-2 with one walk and one strikeout while starting at shortstop in the No. 7 spot against the New York Mets at Citi Field in Queens, N.Y., on Friday. His batting average dropped slightly to 2.2 on the season.
The Mets started left-hander Sean Manaea. Kim faced Manaea in the second inning and drew a foul-tip grounder to first base. Kim showed off his initiative and took the first three pitches. But after three pitches, he let two strikes fly. He was forced to retire on a foul tip on a 77.3 mph sweeper six pitches outside on a full count.
With the bases loaded in the fifth, he took advantage of a favorable three-pitch, one-strike count and swung at an 84.6 mph slider down the middle on the fifth pitch, but missed. He retired on a fly ball to right field.
In the top of the seventh, he faced left-hander Jake Dickman with runners on first and second. He was facing a one-pitch, two-strike count against Dickman. But he calmly picked the ball and walked on an eight-pitch count. He had runners on first and second with two outs. Jackson Merrill followed with a fly ball to left field to end the threat.The game started about an hour late due to rain. San Diego lost 1-2, snapping a three-game winning streak. The Padres are now 37-36 on the season.
San Diego struck first in the bottom of the third inning. A walk to Jeff McNeil and a single to Brandon Nimmo put runners on first and second with one out, and J.D. Martinez followed with a leadoff double.
But they got a run back in the top of the fifth with the bases loaded. Jackson Merrill hit a solo home run to right-center field off Manaea to make it 1-2.
But the offense couldn't get any closer. San Diego starter Matt Waldron took the loss despite throwing 98 pitches - 42 knuckleballs, 23 sweepers, 17 four-seamers and 16 sinkers - in 7 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits with two walks and two strikeouts.
San Diego had a chance in the top of the ninth when leadoff hitter Jurickson Profar singled to right and stole second. But Manny Machado struck out, Donovan Solano grounded to the second baseman and Jake Cronenweth grounded out. That was the last chance for Kim.

The reaction to Roki Sasaki's second missed start of the season due to injury has been cold.
The Chiba Lotte Marines' "monster pitcher" Roki Sasaki has been sidelined by injury yet again. After pitching seven innings of one-run ball against the SoftBank Hawks on May 24, Sasaki was removed from the roster on May 28, citing delayed recovery from upper-body fatigue. He returned on June 8 against the Hiroshima Toyokafu to earn his fifth win of the season with six innings of one-run ball, but felt fatigue in the same area before his start against the Junichi Dragons on June 15. Sasaki continued to train as usual, including playing catch before his start on the 12th.
On the 13th, the Chiba Lotte team removed Sasaki from the roster. This time, the symptoms are the same. Manager Masato Yoshii told the Japanese press, "This time, he said it was difficult to pitch after six days of rest. If he can't pitch after six days of rest, he won't be able to pitch," he said bitterly, adding, "I can't say when he will return. It depends on how the trainer and Loki (Sasaki) decide," he lamented.
Sasaki was born in 2001 and is 23 years old, but he is a player of great ability, which sometimes leads to controversy over his club's overprotection. It's a special treatment for a player who is only in his fourth year as a professional.
There have been some negative comments from Chiba Rode fans and the Japanese media. "I feel like Sasaki doesn't want to pitch as much in Japan anymore, and I wonder if that's why the club isn't pushing him harder," "He can do whatever he wants now," and "I think his heart is already in the U.S." are some of the comments Chiba Rode fans have made in response to reports about Sasaki. The Chivarodas are in third place in the Pacific League as of Thursday. They are 10 games behind the first-place SoftBank Hawks and two games behind the second-place Nippon Ham Fighters, so they can still make a leap. However, the team has lost a bit of momentum as "Ace" Sasaki has twice withdrawn due to muscle fatigue.
For now, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have been the most aggressive in pursuing Sasaki, don't seem to mind. A major league scout told Nikkan Gendai, "The Dodgers' stance is that it doesn't matter if he has a long gap between starts. Instead, they want to make sure they get results in the games they pitch. The Dodgers are a team that has that kind of power."
