He faced his fourth at-bat with runners on first and second bases with one out in the eighth inning. He faced Serantoni Dominguez and hit a 97.4 mile sinker with his second pitch at one strike. It rolled slowly toward the third base, and third baseman Alec Bohm put the ball behind him. It was a defense conscious of Kim Ha-sung's fast feet. As the record was recorded through an error, he continued the chance to load the bases with one out. Kim Ha-sung then homered when Kyle Higashioka had a three-run triple.

He was solid in defense. In the bottom of the seventh inning with one out and no runner on the ground, he managed to clean up Raphael's 94.6 miles of training with perfect location. Locally, he described the perfect location selection.

The San Diego Padres won the game 5-2, escaping its fifth consecutive loss. It now has 38 wins and 40 losses in this season. Matt Waldron, the starting pitcher, pitched seven innings of five hits (one homer) with two walks, six strikeouts and one run, to secure his fifth win of this season.

Jackson Merrill's solo shot took the lead in the top of the second inning, but allowed Bryce Harper to hit a tiebreaking solo shot in the bottom of the third inning, and the game went well. However, Luis Arraez hit a timely hit to the right, taking the lead 2-1.

And in the eighth inning, he completed a five-game losing streak thanks to Kyle Higashioka's three-run triple in a clean sweep at the bases loaded with one out, which led to consecutive hits by Jurickson Profar and Manny Machado, and Kim Ha-sung's on-base error.
