The season batting average dropped slightly from 0.300 to 0.286.

Lee Jung-hoo took the batter's box for the second time as a leadoff hitter in the top of the fourth inning. This time, I was beaten by a changeup. He swung and missed at the changeup of the first pitch. He managed to touch the change-up that fell on the second pitch, but rolled weakly in front of the second baseman.




San Francisco added a run in the top of the fifth. Ramonte Wade Jr. hit a sacrifice fly with one out and runners on the first and third bases.

Lee Jung-hoo's performance began in the sixth inning. Lee Jung-hoo was not beaten three times in a row by Blanco.

Lee Jung-hoo, who appeared as the leadoff hitter again, finally bullied Blanco. This time, he picked out curves and change-up inducements in succession. I watched the slider in the middle of the third pitch. I hit four-seam fastballs for the fourth pitch, but it was a foul. Cut a high course curve again at 2 strikes and 2 balls.
