Diamondbacks welcome back Kim

Aug 8, 2007 - 2:21 PM Pittsburgh (45-64) at Arizona (63-51), 9:40 pm EDT

PHOENIX (Ticker) - The Arizona Diamondbacks are patching their rotation together with an old friend. Byung-Hyun Kim will start for the Diamondbacks when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

Kim (6-5, 4.63 ERA) began his career with Arizona in 1999 and served as the team's closer when it won the World Series in 2001. The Korean sidewinder began the season with Colorado before moving to the Florida Marlins as part of a trade that sent Jorge Julio to the Rockies.

When Florida placed the veteran on waivers on Friday, Arizona was quick to pick him up, slotting him into the rotation in the spot vacated by Randy Johnson, who underwent season-ending back surgery.

Kim will have an offense behind him that now features phenom outfielder Justin Upton, who finished a single shy of the cycle in just his fifth major league game on Tuesday.

Charged with stopping Upton and the Diamondbacks' hitters will be Pittsburgh lefthander Paul Maholm (7-13, 4.50). The 25-year-old is 2-2 over his last four starts, not allowing more than three runs in any of those contests.

The Pirates won Tuesday's series opener, 8-3, trimming Arizona's lead in the National League West to a single game over the San Diego Padres (61-51).
