[Alphabiz = Reporter Byungseong Park] Atlanta Braves infielder Kim Ha-seong’s struggles at the plate continued, as he failed to record a hit for a fourth straight game.

Kim started in Atlanta’s road game against the Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida, on May 19 (local time), but he was unable to produce a hit.

Batting eighth and playing shortstop, Kim went 0-for-2 with a walk, dropping his season batting average to 0.053 (1-for-19). The Braves were outmatched on both sides of the ball, falling 12-0 to Miami.

With the score tied 0-0 in the top of the third, Kim faced Miami starter Max Meyer and struck out swinging on a breaking ball. In the top of the fifth, with two outs and Atlanta trailing 6-0, he worked a full-count walk — his second since returning on May 13 against the Chicago Cubs.

He finished his day in the top of the eighth when he popped out to right field. Kim had returned to the starting lineup after two days off but could not help prevent the loss.
