"Sonja of the Wind" went to the Major League and grew into a mega hurricane.
San Francisco Giants' regular third hitter Lee Jung-hoo (27) showed off his star quality by hitting as many as three hits in one game, including a home run. Amid Lee Jung-hoo's strong performance, San Francisco is on the verge of winning.
Lee Jung-hoo started as the third center fielder in the second of three consecutive away games against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois on the 7th (Korea time), and played a great role in three hits, three RBIs and two runs in six at-bats, including a two-run home run. In the top of the 11th inning of extra time, he made his third hit of the day with an RBI timely hit to the right. Amid Lee Jung-hoo's performance, San Francisco avenged its defeat the previous day with a 14-5 victory after a close game in the 11th inning of extra time.
It is the second consecutive hit streak following Game 1 against the Cubs the day before. In addition, it was the fourth '3 hit game' this season in 12 days since the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on April 24. In addition, Lee Jung-hoo launched a home run again in 22 games after the game against the New York Yankees (two home runs) on April 14.
Lee Jung-hoo's batting average for the season rose to 0.312 (43 hits in 138 at-bats) and his OPS rose to 0.871.
Lee Jung-hoo, who struck out in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning, hit a two-run home run in his second at-bat in the top of the third inning with one out and a runner on the first base. With a ball count of 2B1S, Cubs starter Colin Ray pulled a four-seam fastball in the middle of the 93-mile stretch and crossed the right fence.
In the fifth inning, a hit hit was caught by the opponent's center fielder's sliding catch, leaving a regret. However, he completed a multi-hit game in his fourth at-bat in the top of the seventh inning when he was 5-3. After one out, he pushed a 97.2 mile four-seam into the left-center outfield after a full-count battle against right-handed pitcher Brad Keller. However, Lee Jung-hoo failed to score due to a double play by a follow-up hitter.
Lee Jung-hoo's third hit came in the top of the 11th inning of extra time. It was a hit that completed San Francisco's super big inning. With the bases loaded with no outs in the top of the 11th inning with an 8-5 lead, right-hander bullpen pitcher Ryan Pressley's first pitch (93.1 miles) was pulled as it was and hit an RBI timely hit to the right. San Francisco, which continued its offensive opportunity with Lee Jung-hoo's hit, scored nine points in the top of the 11th inning alone, solidifying its victory.
