San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo is on the verge of no hit.

Lee Jung-hoo failed to hit until his fourth at-bat in the last of three consecutive away games against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium on the 21st (Korea time). If the game ends with no hits as it is, it will be the fourth hitless game of this season.

Angels Japanese pitcher left-hander Yusei Kikuchi was stuck.




Lee Jung-hoo, who started as the third center fielder, stepped down with a fly ball to right field in the top of the first inning with one out and a runner on first base. He hit a fastball in the middle of 93.7 miles on the sixth pitch at the ball count of 2B2S, but the high ball at 94.1 miles was caught by center fielder Joe Adele at 312 feet.

In the third inning, when the 0-0 balance continued, he stepped down with a mistake over the runner. Lee Jung-hoo, who took the batter's box for the second time with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, drew Kikuchi's 95.6-mile fastball at the first pitch, but became a ground ball to the first base.

Willy Adames' timely hit with one out and third base struck out a swing and miss in the fifth inning. At the ball count of 2B2S, Kikuchi's lower body fell out on an 86.2 mile slider flowing outside his sixth pitch, turning the bat in vain.




Lee Jung-hoo, who took the lead in the seventh inning with a 3-1 lead, hit well, but was blocked by the opponent's good defense.

A 9th-pitch 87.8-mile changeup off the full count against right-hander Ian Anderson extended to the left foul line, but left fielder Taylor Ward blew himself up and snatched it to prevent a hit.

This is the first time Lee Jung-hoo has faced Kikuchi. Despite being a left-handed hitter, Lee Jung-hoo had a strong batting average of 0.480 (12 hits in 25 at-bats) against left-handers until the previous day. The batting average against left-handers also fell to 0.429.




However, Lee Jung-hoo was applauded for making another picturesque diving catch in defense. In the bottom of the sixth inning with a 3-1 lead, Luis Renjipo ran forward and caught a short fly. At this time, Verlander raised his right hand and expressed gratitude and fighting toward Lee Jung-hoo.

Kikuchi gave up five hits and four walks in five ⅓ innings, but allowed one run (non-earned) by striking out six. He also failed to report his first win in his fifth appearance of the season, but lowered his ERA from 4.13 to 3.38.

On the other hand, San Francisco starter Justin Verando throws well with two hits and one run in six innings, and doesn't he meet the requirements for his first win of the season?I went down the T.D.

San Francisco took a 3-1 lead with Sam Huff hitting a two-run home run in the middle following David Villa's left-handed hit in the top of the sixth inning when the score was 1-1. Huff pulled a changeup from the changed left-hander Brock Burke and slightly over the middle fence.
