Bae returns, hits a double off the fence for the second straight game part of a come-from-behind win

Bae Ji-hwan (Pittsburgh Pirates) returned to the big leagues after rehabbing from an ankle injury, hitting a double for the second straight game and helping his team to a come-from-behind victory.

Bae went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored as the Pittsburgh Pirates batted first and second against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday (Sept. 20) at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Bae, who drove in two runs, including a double, in his first major league at-bat in 48 days against Minnesota the day before, struck out in the first inning and was silenced by a grounder to the pitcher in the fourth before putting runners on first and third with two outs in the top of the sixth.

With the bases loaded, Pittsburgh scored three runs on Andrew McCutchen’s single up the middle and Keebrian Hayes’ single to left.

With two outs and runners on first and second in the seventh, Bae led off the inning with a double that hit directly at the top of the left field fence.

It was a bullet of a hit that missed the fence by a few centimeters, and he had hit a double the day before that went directly over the deep outfield fence.

Bae picked up his 20th RBI of the season and raised his season average to .244.

With the score 4-3 in the ninth, Bae drew a bases-loaded walk and came home on McCutchen’s three-run homer in the middle of the inning.
