LA Dodgers pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin isn't the only Korean impressing in the MLB postseason.
Tampa Bay Rays' infielder Choi Ji-man belted a solo home run against the Houston Astros to help his team win Game 3 of the American League Division Series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg on Monday.
Choi's home run in the bottom of the third inning gave the Rays a 4-1 lead.
The Rays went on to win the match 10-3 to extend the best-of-five series to Game 4 after they previously lost the first two matches of the series.
Choi's first career postseason home run made him the second South Korean player to hit a homer in a Major League postseason game,... following Choo Shin-soo in 2013 and 2015.
