San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo broke his hitless silence in four games. Lee Jung-hoo started as a third-designated hitter and scored 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). Lee Jung-hoo, who had been silent without hits in the last three consecutive games, had a hit in 13 at-bats.
A hit came out in the first at-bat. Lee Jung-hoo, who took his first at-bat in the top of the first inning with two outs and a first base chance, had a left-handed hit against Minnesota starting pitcher Pablo Lopez. Lee Jung-hoo, who hit a ground ball to the second base in his second at-bat, faced a chance to score with one out and second base in the top of the fifth inning with San Francisco leading 3-2. The opponent's pitcher Bochuk led the runner to third base, and Lee Jung-hoo scored an RBI by recording a sacrifice fly to right field with one out and third base.
Later, he retired only with a fly ball without a hit at the batter's box. San Francisco lost 6-7 on the day and recently lost three consecutive games. Lee Jung-hoo's batting average for the season fell slightly to 286 (44 hits in 154 times at bat).
Meanwhile, Los Angeles Dodgers' Kim Hye-sung started at 8-2 base in an away game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona on the same day and recorded one hit in three at-bats.
Kim Hye-sung struck out standing against opposing right-hander Jack Gallen in the top of the second inning with the Dodgers leading 1-0. Later, he was caught on a ground ball to third base in his second at-bat in the fourth inning.
The hit came in the third at-bat. Kim Hye-sung, who faced a first base chance with no outs in the top of the sixth inning with the Dodgers leading 3-0, hit the opponent's knuckle curve in the 1B situation to score a hit in the middle. After that, he dug to second base, and seemed to hit a double when he was declared safe for the first time. However, as she was corrected to out after a video review, Kim's record was reversed with a tag-out at second base after a single.
Kim Hye-sung, who swallowed the disappointment, later finished the game by being replaced by pinch hitter Miguel Rojas in the eighth inning. The Dodgers, which are ranked No. 1 in the district, won a big victory with a score of 8 to 1.
