Self-described 'innings eating guy' Kim makes season debut with Cardinals aching for quality start

PHILADELPHIA — A starter throughout his career in the KBO, Kwang Hyun Kim considered a question Friday afternoon about what it would mean to the Cardinals' rotation to have some consistency, start to start, to have a pitcher crank out a quality start.

"Six innings as a starting pitcher," he said, "was kind of a thing."

It certainly has been for the Cardinals.

A thing they're still trying to find.

Kim comes off the injured list and into the rotation for the Cardinals' 14th game of the season, and only once before as a Cardinals starter collected an out in the sixth inning.
