Dodgers win the first game of their 3rd consecutive World Series title... Ha-Seong Kim recorded no hits and one walk in one at-bat.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, who are trying to win the World Series (WS) for the third time in a row, won their first game of fall baseball.

The Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 5-3 in Game 1 of the Major League Baseball (MLB) National League Division Series (NLDS, best of 5) held at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on the 4th (Korean time).

The Dodgers, with 'winning hitman' Tarik Skubal as their starting pitcher, scored the first run in the bottom of the 4th inning when Teoscar Hernández hit a two-run home run.

Atlanta made up 1 point in the top of the 6th inning with a solo arch by Sean Murphy.

However, after a shift in offense and defense, Kyle Tucker hit a two-run home run and Max Muncy hit a solo home run to quickly go up 5-1.

Atlanta's Ozzie Albies hit a two-run home run in the top of the 9th inning, but was unable to turn it over.

Kim Ha-seong, who started as Atlanta's ninth hitter and shortstop, recorded no hits and one walk in one at-bat.

Ha-Seong Kim, who struck out on a missed swing in the top of the third inning, walked and got on base in the top of the sixth.

In the top of the 8th inning, he was replaced by pinch hitter Lane Thomas.

Skubal, whom the Dodgers acquired in early August just before the trade deadline, became the winning pitcher by striking out seven through the sixth inning, allowing two hits, two walks, and one run.

Kim Hye-seong, who was sent down to the minor league at the end of May, was included in the Dodgers' 26-man NLDS roster that day, but could not play and remained on the bench.

The Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-0 in Game 1 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) held at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

The White Sox took the lead in the top of the fourth inning when Japanese batter Munetaka Murakami hit a dominant two-run home run.

In the top of the 7th inning, Colson Montgomery added 1 run with a double to secure the win.

The White Sox, who had a bullpen day since Game 1, had five pitchers shut out the team, including rookie Hagen Smith as the starter and allowing no hits, three walks, four strikeouts, and no runs in 2⅔ innings.
