Lee Jung-hoo went 0-for-3 with one pitch in an away game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on the 28th (Korea time). San Francisco lost 1-3 with only six scattered hits.
Lee Jung-hoo, who ended his seven-game hitting streak from the Kansas City Royals on the 20th to the Detroit game the day before, marked a batting average of 0.281 (59 hits in 210 at-bats) and an OPS of 0.781.
Lee Jung-hoo, who started as the fourth center fielder for the third time this season after the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 13th and 14th, got on base with a hit ball in the top of the first inning with two outs and a runner on the first base. Detroit starter Jack Fleherty's third pitch was hit in the back foot by a low-slung knuckle curve. Centripetal Tony Landazo initially ruled with a ball but was overturned with a dune through a challenge.
It is the second time this season that Lee Jung-hoo has won a dune. However, San Francisco failed to score the first point because Matt Chapman struck out with two outs and runners on the first and second bases.
Detroit took the lead by scoring first with Riley Green's double to right-center in the bottom of the first inning with two outs and a runner on first base.
San Francisco failed to chase after Patrick Bailey hit a double play in the top of the second inning with one out and a runner on first base, and Detroit added a point with the superior solo home run of the lead, Wencille Perez, in the bottom of the second inning. In the third inning, lead Colt Keith's triple on the right-field line and Green's timely hit were combined to add one more run to lead the game 3-0.
Lee Jung-hoo only grounded out to the first base as the leadoff hitter in the top of the fourth inning. While both teams' attacks continued in a lull, Lee Jung-hoo went out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the seventh inning when the team's 0-3 inferiority continued, but he only grounded out to the third base.

Lee Jung-hoo hit a 96.5-mile fastball that flew into the middle of right-hander Will Best's fifth pitch with a ball count of 2B2S, hitting a missed ball to the left. However, left fielder Green ran forward and caught it with a sliding catch, which failed to make a hit. Statcast considered the hit probability to be 0.720. It means that a hit was blocked in Green's defense.
San Francisco coach Bob Melvin was sent off after protesting against Landazo's error in making a series of ball decisions. In the top of the fifth inning, Bailey struck out a rookie after a close game going up to the ninth pitch, which was a ball well outside the strike zone due to its slow screen and Game Day graphics. Coach Melvin couldn't hold back his anger when starting Logan Webb's ball was ruled a ball this time against Gleyber Torres in the bottom of the fifth inning, and ran out of the dugout to protest violently, and eventually was sent off.
San Francisco, which lost two consecutive games, marked 31 wins and 24 losses and maintained third place in the NL West, but the gap with the leading LA Dodgers widened to three games.
