Lee Jung-hoo played as the third center fielder in the final game of the three consecutive home games against the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park on the 10th (Korea time) and hit three hits, one RBI and one run in five at-bats.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had two sharp hits the previous day but had no hits in four at-bats and had consecutive hits at '8', hit his fourth multi-hit of the season and raised his batting average to 0.333. 15 hits in 45 at-bats, four RBIs, 11 runs, three walks, seven strikeouts, an on-base percentage of 0.375, a slugging percentage of 0.533, and an OPS of 0.908.
With seven doubles, he became the lone lead in the entire Major League. After a fierce chase in the second half of the game with Lee Jung-hoo's hard hit, San Francisco came from behind to win 8-6 with Mike Yastremski's walk-off home run in the 10th inning of extra time. San Francisco, which lost two consecutive games and marked nine wins and three losses, maintained second place in the NL West.

However, he exploded his first big league triple in the fourth inning, trailing 0-5. Lead Willy Adames walked and reached first base with no outs.
Lee Jung-hoo, who then entered the batter's box, lightly pulled Martinez's 77.4-mile changeup, which slightly falls outside Martinez's third pitch in the unfavorable count of two strikes, hit a ball that fell inside the right line, and settled on third base with ease. Adames homered with his first triple since entering the Major League. It was a prelude to a counter-electrode.
However, Lee Jung-hoo was tagged out after penetrating home when Elliott Ramos grounded out to a pitcher after one out.

San Francisco, where Matt Chapman and Elliott Ramos seemed to miss the chance after striking out consecutively, then Mike Yastremski hit a double to the right and connected the chance with two outs and runners on the second and third bases.
In the next batter Wilmer Flores at-bat, while Martinez's second slider hit the catcher and flowed into the foul area on the first base, Lee Jung-hoo dug home and narrowed the gap to 2-6. San Francisco then followed Flores with a right-handed hit and a timely triple through Patrick Bailey's right-center.

Lee Jung-hoo also went as a leadoff hitter in the seventh inning and added a hit. He accurately pulled an 80.7-mile sweeper flying into the middle of opposing right-hander Scott Barlow's second pitch and doubled with a line drive that fell to the right of right field. Lee Jung-hoo's seventh double this season with a batting speed of 104 miles. However, he failed to reach home due to a failed follow-up hit.
Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the fifth batter's box after one out in the ninth inning when the score was 6-6, then pushed right-hander Ian Jibo's third pitch of 95.4 miles outside fastball to hit a strong 103.9-mile-speed ball toward left-center, but Cincinnati left fielder Will Benson caught it when he fell, unfortunately missing his first four-hit game in the big league and his first career 'Hit For The Cycle'.
When Lee Jung-hoo entered the batter's box, the local broadcaster said "Lee Jung-hoo entered the batter's box. Challenge the cycle by hitting three different hits. If there's a home run, it's a cycle and it's over," he said, quietly expressing anticipation.
In the end, the game was decided in overtime. San Francisco ended the game by hitting a solo home run in the eighth inning by leading Flores just inside the left foul pole to tie the game 6-6, and Yastremski pulled Cincinnati right-hander Emilio Pagan's 95.5-mile fastball toward the body of the first pitch in the 10th inning.
