(Seeing it become a home run) I thought, 'Thank goodness,'" he said. He emphasized that his primary focus was on playing well and contributing to the team's success.

The veteran's performance was a bright spot for the Giants, who have been facing challenges. His decisive home run not only secured the win but also provided a much-needed morale boost for the team and its supporters. Kim's dedication and ability to perform under pressure highlight the value of experienced players in overcoming team slumps.
