Bae started as right fielder and eighth hitter at a home game held at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the 18th (Korea Standard Time). It was his first start in four days since the 14th.
Bae’s first at-bat on the day came when he was attacked by Pittsburgh at the bottom of the third inning. Bae hit a four-seam fastball on the first pitch against Seattle ace Luis Castillo (32), but was out after hitting a fly ball to the shortstop.

The second batter’s box was arranged when he was attacked in the bottom of the fifth inning. Bae took the batter’s box in the absence of a one-out runner, and hit a changeup of five pitches and 88.4 miles (142 kilometers) from two balls and two strikes, but was thrown out to center field.
Bae’s third at-bat on the day came when he was attacked in the bottom of the seventh inning. After playing as the leadoff batter, Bae swung the bat to a sinker measuring 96.3 miles (155 kilometers) after a close game of up to full count against JT Chakoyes (34), the changed pitcher of the opposing team, but was struck out swinging.
The fourth batter’s box was set at the bottom of the eighth inning. Bae hit a sinker with five pitches and two strikes against Troy Taylor (23), the opponent team’s new pitcher, but was out after hitting a fly ball to the center field.
