Unlikely hero Kim proves why Braves stuck by him with walk-off hit

Ha-Seong Kim delivered a walk-off pinch-hit single off Dodgers closer Tanner Scott in a two-out, 3-2 count situation to give the Atlanta Braves a thrilling 6-5 victory at Truist Park on Wednesday night. Kim, who had struggled badly with a .068 batting average through his first 27 games and spent three weeks on a Minor League rehab assignment, had managed just three at-bats in 20 games since being activated on August 4. The unlikely hero justified the Braves' faith in the $20 million veteran shortstop with one of the most improbable walk-off moments of the season, according to manager Walt Weiss.
