Orioles' Hyun Soo Kim: Homers in 2-for-3 game against Padres
Kim hit his second homer as part of a 2-for-3 game with two walks, two runs scored and three RBI Tuesday against the Padres
Analysis:
Eight of Kim's first nine extra-base hits were doubles, so it was good to see him finally muscle one over the fence. The most impressive part of Kim's game thus far has been his combination of contact and discipline -- his two walks Tuesday bring his BB:K to an even 16:16, the main driver behind his excellent .347/.438/.466 line through 137 plate appearances.
