San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo continued his stable batting pace by hitting six consecutive games.

Lee Jung-hoo played as the third center fielder in the last three consecutive away games against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park in Washington, DC on the 26th (Korea time) and recorded one hit in four at-bats. San Francisco won the game 3-2.

Lee Jung-hoo, who has had hits in six consecutive games since the Kansas City Royals match on the 20th, marked a batting average of 0.281 (57 hits in 203 at-bats), six home runs, 31 RBIs, 32 points, and an OPS of 0.785. Lee Jung-hoo, who has a batting average of 0.318 (7 hits in 22 at-bats) and two RBIs, two runs scored and three walks in the last six games, will enter the three consecutive away games against the Detroit Tigers on the 27th with a steady batting sense.




Lee Jung-hoo stepped down with a foul fly to left field in his first at-bat after two outs in the top of the first inning. On one strike, Washington right-hander Michael Soroka's 78.7-mile outside sloop floated high to the left, where left fielder Alex Cole slid in the foul line and caught it.

He hit a ground ball after two outs in the third inning with a 3-0 lead. At the ball count of 1B1S, he pushed Soroka's high 93.9-mile fastball in the middle of his third pitch, but it was missed and became a grounder to third base.

However, he produced a hit in his third at-bat in the sixth inning with a 3-1 lead. When Soroka's 92.7-mile fastball flew into the low strike zone in the middle, he pulled it like a lightning bolt and hit a line drive that flowed to the right at 99.8 miles. Second baseman Nasim Núñez blew his body and extended his glove, but it was after the ball had already passed.




When Lee Jung-hoo hit, local broadcasters said "Nuñez tried to catch a dive, but the hit that hit Lee Jung-hoo's bat with a line drive would be a pleasure for many Koreans who came to the ballpark today." This means that he had a hit in front of Korean residents who visited National Park.

However, Lee Jung-hoo was forced out of the second base because the next batter, Wilmer Flores, hit a double play by the second baseman.

Lee Jung-hoo, who went out as the leadoff hitter in the eighth inning with a 3-1 lead, hit it well, but was withdrawn by a fly ball to center field. Nicely rolled up a changeup outside 85.3 miles from right-hander Bratt Road on One Strike. The ball extended toward the fence in the middle of Nationals Park, and center fielder Robert Hasel II ran back and caught it 379 feet away. With a launch angle of 23 degrees and a batting speed of 100 miles, Statcast measured the expected batting average of 0.460.




In the top of the second inning, third baseman Flores homered and scored the first run when Willy Adames grounded out to first and third base, and in the third inning, lead Sam Huff hit a solo home run in left-center, and Mike Yastremski hit a triple and homered when Elliott Ramos grounded out to shortstop to widen the gap to 3-0.

San Francisco starter Robbie Ray went six innings well with three hits, seven strikeouts and one run, winning seven games this season, lowering his ERA to 2.56. Ray has his best pace since 2021, when he won the Cy Young Award during his time with the Toronto Blue Jays.

San Francisco, which finished the three consecutive games against Washington with two wins and one loss, marked 31 wins and 22 losses and firmly maintained second place in the NL West. On the same day, the world's leading Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the New York Mets 1-3, narrowing their gap with San Francisco to one game.
