Kim cleared the bases with a single in the first inning to give the Padres a 3-0 lead. He has 10 home runs and 19 stolen bases, but he's hitting just .226 with a .695 OPS and 43 RBI on the season.
Despite the fact that Xander Bogaerts is also sitting on Saturday, Kim will receive a day off as well. Tyler Wade will draw a rare start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth against Reynaldo Lopez and the Braves in San Diego.
With Paul Sewald presumably unavailable after a blown save on Friday night, Castellanos got the call to protect a two-run lead after Thyago Viera served up an RBI double to Donovan Solano and recorded just one out to open the 10th inning. The -year-old righty struck out Ha-Seong Kim on a foul tip before coaxing a game-ending fly out from Kyle Higashioka to put out the fire.
Kim came through with a clutch game-tying double in the eighth inning off Diamondbacks reliever Ryan Thompson, that wound up eventually sending the contest to extra innings. The 28-year-old infielder has just three homers and four steals over his last 30 games, but he's already at 10 homers and 17 thefts overall this season through 91 games leading into the All-Star break.
