Orioles manager Buck Showalter said there’s a chance for more consistent playing time against right-handed pitching for outfielder Hyun Soo Kim, who was in the lineup at leadoff for the second time in his career Wednesday night in Chicago.
“I hope so,” Showalter said. “He has a little bit this year, but not over an extended period of time. But you know, he kind of controls that. I hope so. I’d like to see if he could. He’s not far from the form he had. He’s really not doing a whole lot different than he did last year, except the average might not be as high.
