Hyun Soo Kim – the South Korean import whose spring training struggles had the Orioles trying to send him to the minors to open the year – might have saved the team's season Wednesday night.
Kim’s pinch-hit two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning off Toronto closer Roberto Osuna gave the Orioles a much-needed 3-2 comeback win over the Toronto Blue Jays, shocking a packed Rogers Centre crowd.
The Orioles had scored just two runs in their first 17 innings here in Toronto, where they had lost six of eight this season heading in the night.
