Bae led off the first inning with a walk and picked off the first and second pitches outside the zone, then watched a high strike on the third pitch. The fourth was a deep ball on the body. He then took the fifth pitch, an 89.8-mph (144.5-kilometer) sinker outside, but backed off with a grounder in front of the pitcher. The pitch bounced once and landed in the pitcher’s glove, and Bae didn’t force himself to sprint. 소닉카지노

Bae stepped to the plate for the second time in the top of the third inning with the score still tied at 0-0. After fouling off the first pitch toward third base, he picked the second pitch high in the zone. The third pitch was a 79.3-mph (127.6-kilometer) slider that dropped toward him and was called a foul-tipped strike. In the fourth, he pushed a low 83.9 mph (135 km/h) changeup away from him, but it was driven straight to left field.
