Lee Jung-hoo started as the third center fielder in the first game of a four-game home series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Oracle Park on the 22nd (Korea time) and hit a delightful triple in his fourth at-bat.
Mike Yastremski's left-handed hit after one out in the bottom of the seventh inning with a 3-2 lead, and Willy Adames' groundout to the third base led by a runner out.
Lee Jung-hoo, who then entered the batter's box, pulled a low sinker in the middle of the second pitch of the opponent's left-hander Jared Keynick at one ball and hit a triple through the right-center, bringing the first baseman Adames home. It was a long shot with a batting speed of 102.2 miles and a flying distance of 333 feet.
It is the second time in 12 days that Lee Jung-hoo hit a triple against the Cincinnati Reds on the 10th.
However, in the previous three at-bats, he grounded out.
In his first at-bat after two outs in the bottom of the first inning, he hit an 86.1-mile slider in the fourth pitch with a ball count of 1B2S against Milwaukee right-hander Keen Priest, but he was grounded out to second base.
He also hit an infield grounder in his second at-bat in the third inning, trailing 1-2. Friester's second pitch hit a sinker outside 91.9 miles, but it spilled in front of the shortstop.

After the first baseman was forced out of the second base when Adames grounded out to third base with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, which were made with the infield hit of the leadoff Tyler Fitzgerald and Yastremski's walk, Fitzgerald homered and tied it 2-2.
However, Lee Jung-hoo, who continued to bat with one out and a runner on the first base, hit a ground ball to the second base, and Adames, the front runner, was out at second base.
Lee Jung-hoo's latest hit is a left-handed hit in the eighth inning against the Los Angeles Angels on the 20th. Since then, he has made a hit in nine at-bats and nine at-bats.
Lee Jung-hoo had no hit in five at-bats against the Angels on the 21st, then withdrew from his first three at-bats on the day and was sluggish with no hit in eight consecutive at-bats.
