On the 6th (Korean time), in the game against the Philadelphia Phillies held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Yoshida started as the second left fielder and recorded 1 hit, 1 run and 1 ball in 4 at-bats.
Facing Philadelphia starting pitcher Jack Wheeler in the first inning safely on second base, Yoshida hit Wheeler’s sixth pitch at 81.4 miles per hour (131.0 km) curve, but was caught by the first baseman’s ground ball. In the 3rd inning, with no one on first base, Wheeler’s two-pitch 95.7 mile (154.0 km) four-seam hit. Afterwards, he also scored by stepping home on Enrique Hernandez’s one RBI timely hit.
Yoshida, who started as the lead batter in the 5th inning, countered Wheeler’s 6-pitch 81.1 mile (130.5 km) curveball, but withdrew with a ground ball to the third baseman. In the 7th inning, he was also the lead batter, but the shortstop hit a ground ball to relief pitcher Gregory Soto’s 4-pitch, 88.3 mile (142.1 km) slider. In the last at-bat in the ninth inning with two outs, he got on base after being hit by a 76.3 mile (122.8 km) slider on the third pitch by reliever Andrew Vazquez, and was replaced by runner Alex Verdugo to finish the day. 크크크벳
