CHICAGO -- After more months away from home and more miles traveled without any innings thrown than he could have imagined when he signed with the Cardinals, Kwang Hyun Kim will make Monday his second major-league debut in as many appearances.
This time as a starter.
The Cardinals' closer to start the season -- who got a save in the opening night victory this past July -- circumstances have thrust the lefty Kim back into the rotation, where he seemed headed all along. A former KBO pitcher of the year and a lifelong starter during his pro career in Korea, Kim will start Game 1 of the Cardinals' doubleheader at Wrigley Field.
