Lee Jung-hoo has become the new hero of the San Francisco Giants. He hit his first multi-hitters of the season for two consecutive days.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the third batter and center fielder in the 2025 Major League Cincinnati Reds match at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati on the 31st (Korea time). He took the lead in a 6-3 victory by scoring two RBIs and two runs in four at-bats. Lee Jung-hoo, who also led the team's come-from-behind victory in the opening game on the 29th, has completely settled down as the center of the team. San Francisco ended its opening three consecutive games with two wins and one loss with Lee Jung-hoo at the forefront.

Lee Jung-hoo's batting average for the season jumped from 0.167 to 0.300. He is third in the team with two RBIs after two consecutive days.




Lee Jung-hoo struggled somewhat against Cincinnati starter Nick Martinez. He struck out his first at-bat in the first inning, and his second at-bat in the fourth inning was withdrawn with a straight hit by the first baseman.

I didn't get hit three times. Lee Jung-hoo, who got the hang of it, exploded a valuable timely double with two outs and second base in the top of the sixth inning with a 1-0 lead. One strike and one ball to push a cut fastball that came on to the outside high course.

Lee Jung-hoo even scored on a home run by Matt Chapman, a follow-up hitter. Lee Jung-hoo served as a stepping stone for the big inning.




In the top of the eighth inning, when the score was 4-3 long, he set the stage for a wedge score.

San Francisco ran away with one run in the top of the eighth inning by combining an opponent's error and a sacrifice fly on a sacrifice bunt.

The runner disappeared after two outs, but Lee Jung-hoo hit and got on base to boost the atmosphere. With Chapman's walk and Heliot Ramos' hit, fast-paced Lee Jung-hoo came home.




Lee Jung-hoo did not have a hit in the opening game on the 29th. He went 0 for 2 and struck out twice. However, he drew two walks and played a sharp eyeball. Trailing 2-3 in the top of the ninth inning, with one out and no runner, he walked while bullying opposing closer Ian Zibo. Starting with this, San Francisco completed a drama that came from behind by combining two hits and a three-run home run.

Lee Jung-hoo hit one hit and one RBI from four times at bat on the 29th and tasted it. And three times? In the first time in a game, he revealed his outlook for the season with multiple hits and long balls, including a double.
