San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo was silent again, collapsing his batting average of 280 percent. For the second time in the season, he went hitless for two consecutive games.

Lee Jung-hoo played as the third center fielder in the final game of the three consecutive home games against the Athletics at Oracle Park on the 19th (Korea time) and recorded no hits in four at-bats.

Lee Jung-hoo, who was silent the previous day with no hits in four at-bats, failed to hit for the second game, and his batting average fell from 0.282 to 0.276. Even the .28 batting average collapsed. The monthly batting average was 0.319, from March to April, and the batting average in May was only 0.200 (13 hits in 65 at-bats). The OPS also fell to 0.782, falling below 0.800 in six days.




Lee Jung-hoo grounded out to the third base in his first at-bat with one out and no runners in the bottom of the first inning with a 1-0 lead. Athletic left-hander Jeffrey Springs swung hard on an 83.2-mile slider that fell low into the middle of the second pitch, but it fell in front of third baseman Max Schumann when it was missed.

In the fourth inning, trailing 1-2, he was also out with an infield grounder after one out. He hit a 90.1 mile fastball that flew into the middle of Springs' fifth pitch with a ball count of 2B2S, but it turned into shortstop Jacob Wilson's left-hander at a speed of 81.7 miles.

In the seventh inning, when the 1-2 inferiority continued, he took the batter's box after one. However, he hit a ground ball to shortstop again this time. With a ball count of 1B1S, he reached out to Springs' third 90.1 mile fastball and hit a hit into center field at 83 miles, but Wilson's straight-forward grounder shifted near second base.

And in the last at-bat with two outs and a runner on first base in the eighth inning, when the team came from behind 3-2, he hit right-hander Grant Holman's slider to hit a fly ball to center field. Center fielder Lawrence Butler shot a ball high at 41 degrees and flew at a speed of 89.4 miles at a distance of 296 feet.

It is the 12th game that Lee Jung-hoo has not had a hit this season. In May, he went hitless in seven of his 16 games. The ups and downs are severe, so the batting average is bound to fall.

As expected, it is a matter of the quality of the ball. All four of the hits on the day did not exceed 90 miles. On the previous day, there was no hard hit (over 95 miles) among the three in-play balls. Even if he hit the ball, he didn't follow his luck toward the front of the fielder.




Amid Lee Jung-hoo's slump, San Francisco came from behind to win 3-2 with a hard hit by leadoff Eliot Ramos.

In his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, Ramos hit a 90.4-mile fastball from Springs to draw an arch well over the center fence. He hit his eighth homer of the season with a batting speed of 111.2 miles and a flying distance of 408 feet.

San Francisco, which was leading the game 1-2, turned the tide by scoring two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. When lead Lamont Wade Jr. opened the scoring with a triple to right-center, pinch-hitter Patrick Bailey hit a heavy hit to tie the game 2-2. Then, Christian Kos' sacrifice bunt made it to second base with one out, and Ramos hit a left-handed hit to bring Bailey home and scored a come-from-behind winning run.

San Francisco, which swept the Athletics' three consecutive games, marked 28 wins and 19 losses and maintained the third place in the NL West, reducing its gap with the leading Los Angeles Dodgers (29 wins and 18 losses) and the second-place San Diego Padres (27 wins and 18 losses) to one game each. San Diego lags behind in winning percentage without a ride.
