Ha-Seong Kim's Shocking Walk-Off Ends Hitless Drought, Lifts Braves Over Dodgers
PUBLISHED Aug 27, 2026, 10:25 AM ET
Atlanta Braves infielder Ha-Seong Kim hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning on Wednesday night to secure a six-to-five victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Truist Park. Kim entered the game as a pinch-hitter with two outs and the game-winning run on second base, facing Dodgers closer Tanner Scott. The hit ended an empty twenty-seven at-bat hitless drought dating back to June third for Kim, who is batting six percent across eighty-five plate appearances this season. The victory marks Atlanta's second consecutive late-inning comeback win in the series, improving their season record to seventy-eight wins and fifty-five losses while reducing Los Angeles's division lead. The series concludes Thursday with a scheduled pitching matchup between Chris Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The game occurred during an intense late-season National League pennant race affecting playoff positioning across Major League Baseball standings.
