San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo escaped his hitless silence for three consecutive games.

Lee Jung-hoo played one hit, one RBI, and one run from four times at bat in an away game against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the 12th (Korea time). San Francisco, however, fell to its knees 6-7 in overtime.

Lee Jung-hoo was listed in the lineup as a designated hitter, not a center fielder. It is the first time that Lee Jung-hoo has been designated as a designated hitter since entering the Major League. In the meantime, he played center field all the time. San Francisco replaced Lee Jung-hoo with Luis Matos as its starting center fielder.




Lee Jung-hoo hit a hit in his first at-bat. In the top of the first inning, lead Mike Yastremski got on base with a right-handed hit, and Wilmer Flores stepped down with a fly ball to center field, one out and one out.

Lee Jung-hoo lightly pushed an 86.1-mile changeup that fell outside the third pitch in the ball count of 1B1S against Minnesota right-hander Pablo Lopez to hit a hit in the left-center and connected the chance with one out and runners on first and third bases. The hit exactly at the center of the bat flew to the line drive at an angle of 8 degrees and 100.3 miles (161.4 kilometers) and fell in the left-center.

It is the first hit in four games and 13 at-bats since he hit a right-handed hit in the 11th inning of overtime against the Chicago Cubs on the 7th.

San Francisco then got a full base chance with one out with Matt Chapman's walk, and Eliot Ramos brought Yastremski home with a sacrifice fly to right field to score the first run. While Minnesota right fielder Willie Castro slipped and caught the ball, second baseman Lee Jung-hoo advanced to third base to reach first and third bases with two outs. However, Lamont Wade Jr. grounded out to the first base, and Lee Jung-hoo failed to home.

Lee Jung-hoo did not have a hit in the next four at-bats, but recorded an RBI and a run, respectively. Lee Jung-hoo, who grounded out to the second base in the third inning, hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning with a 3-2 lead. After leading Yastremski hit the right-handed hit, he advanced to third base with a steal to second base and an opponent's balk. Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the batter's box with one out and third base, rolled up an 82.4 mile curve that fell low into the middle of Lopez's fourth pitch and flew it to the right. The ball, which flew at 23 degrees and 83.2 miles, was caught by Castro in right field at a distance of 295 feet, and third baseman Yastremski homered leisurely.

Lee Jung-hoo made a strong hit in the eighth inning with no outs and no outs, but it did not lead to a hit. At the ball count of 1B1S, opponent right-hander Griffin Jax's changeup in the middle of the third pitch of 92.1 miles headed to the front of right field. The distance is 279 feet.

Lee Jung-hoo, who stepped down with a fly to center field in the ninth inning at 5-5, went to the second base in the top of the 10th inning, followed by Chapman's grounder to shortstop to third base, and after Ramos' walk, pinch hitter David Villa hit a grounder to third base. San Francisco took the lead with Lee Jung-hoo's score, but in the bottom of the 10th inning, Ryan Walker allowed a tie at the first and third bases with no outs and a walk-off hit by Dashon Kiercy Jr. with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, and suffered a 6-7 upset.

With this, Lee Jung-hoo recorded a batting average of 0.286 (44 hits in 154 times at bat), four homers, 24 RBIs, 28 runs scored, and an OPS of 0.794. However, the OPS, which fell to 0.804 due to three consecutive games and 12 consecutive hits and no runs, collapsed by 0.8 points on the day.

San Francisco, which lost three consecutive away games against Minnesota for the second time this season, marked 24 wins and 17 losses. It remained in third place in the NL West, but revealed its limitations in chasing the lead. San Francisco will play nine consecutive home games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Athletics and Kansas City Royals from the 13th.
