San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo had a hit streak for seven consecutive games, but his batting average and OPS have continued to decline. It is a situation where multi-hit and long-shot are needed.

Lee Jung-hoo played as the third center fielder in an away game against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on the 1st (Korea time) and recorded 1 hit and 1 RBI in 4 at-bats. San Francisco fell to third place in the NL West with a 3-5 knee, losing to San Diego for the second straight day.

San Diego missed a chance to chase as Lee Jung-hoo's hit in his last at-bat was blocked by the opponent's outfielder's defense.




First of all, Lee Jung-hoo retired with a fly ball to third base and a fly to right field in each of the first two at-bats. And he hit a timely hit in the sixth inning, trailing 0-4, and succeeded in hitting in seven consecutive games.

San Francisco created chances for first and second base with Tyler Fitzgerald's walk and Mike Yastremski's heavy hit after one out in the top of the sixth inning. Then, third baseman Manny Machado, who caught Willy Adames' ground ball with difficulty, threw it to second base and forced out the first baseman Yastremski, with two outs and runners on first and third bases.

Lee Jung-hoo, who then appeared, pulled the sinker in the middle of San Diego right-hander Michael King's fifth pitch of 91.7 miles with a ball count of 3B1S and hit a ground ball toward first base.




San Diego first baseman Luis Arraez fell to his right and tried to catch it, but the ball hit the glove and flowed toward second base. In the meantime, third baseman Fitzgerald homered, and chances continued with two outs and runners on first and second bases.

At that time, San Diego lowered its first run and replaced the pitcher with fastball right-hander Jeremiah Estrada. Matt Chapman struck out swinging and San Francisco failed to score additional points.

Lee Jung-hoo then missed a hit due to the unbelievable catch of the opponent's defense in the last at-bat in the eighth inning, trailing 3-5.




Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the batter's box with two outs and a runner on the first base, rolled up right-hander Jason Adam's 92.8-mile fastball on the sixth pitch in the full count. The high-flying ball at an angle of 50 degrees was a hit that seemed to fall on the left-field line. However, left fielder Jason Heyward ran out and managed to catch the ball with a sliding catch that stretched out his legs. If this hit had been a hit, chances would have continued with runners on second and third bases with one out. For Lee Jung-hoo or San Francisco, Hayward's desperate defense was fatal.

Local broadcasters say "Heyward catches it. It's a good defense. He caught a big out. Jason Adam shows his appreciation. (Looking at the slow screen) Watch the big player sprint to catch the out. There's a big round of applause. Everyone likes it. It's a very important out count for the Padres"I couldn't help but admire.

The San Diego Union-Tribune was also chased by two runs when Adam threw out the first batter in the eighth inning and gave up a home run to Yastremski. Adam walked Adames and induced Lee Jung-hoo to fly high to left field' Hayward ran 102 feet and caught him in the dirt near the foul line with a sliding catch. Adam then struck out Chapman to end the inning.

Lee Jung-hoo made a hit in seven consecutive games since the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on the 24th. He had a batting average of 0.319 (37 hits in 116 at-bats), three homers, 18 RBIs, 23 runs scored, and an OPS of 0.901 in 30 games of the season. However, his batting average of 0.333 against Milwaukee on the 24th and OPS of 0.969 fell to 0.319 and 0.901, respectively.

Lee Jung-hoo's last multi-hit was against Milwaukee on the 24th, and his long-shot was the most recent double on the right-wing line in the bottom of the first inning against Milwaukee on April 25. Until the game against San Diego on the day, he continued to play one hit in four at-bats for five consecutive games. He aimed for multi-hitters for the first time in a long time, but was blocked by Hayward's good defense, who had five outfielder Gold Glove careers.
