San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo added an RBI and a run to help the team win, but he failed to hit, jeopardizing his batting average of 300.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the third center fielder in a home game against the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park on the 5th (Korea time), and had no hits, one RBI, one run and one strikeout in three at-bats. San Francisco won its third straight game with a 9-3 victory.

Lee Jung-hoo continued his hit in seven consecutive games until the match against the San Diego Padres on the 1st, but since then, his batting average has dropped from 0.319 to 0.305 (39 hits in 128 at-bats) with only 2 hits in 12 consecutive home games against Colorado.




Although he maintains a top 10' by tying for seventh in the NL batting average, he may soon collapse. If he has no hits in three at-bats or more in an away game against the Chicago Cubs on the 6th, he will fall below 30%. The OPS has already collapsed by 0.900, falling again to 0.854 as of today. In addition, he has three home runs, 20 RBIs, 25 points, three steals, 11 walks and 19 strikeouts.

In the top of the first inning, Lee Jung-hoo sprinted forward a short fly by Colorado leadoff Brenton Doyle and caught it with a sliding catch, signaling a strong start in defense.

Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the batter's box for the first time after Willy Adames' first solo home run after one out in the bottom of the first inning, struck out swinging. In ball count 2B2S, Colorado right-hander Hermann Marquez was tricked by an 87.9-mile knuckle curve that fell to a one-bound on the body of fifth pitch, spinning the bat helplessly.




The second at-bat also came after Adames' home run. After two outs in the third inning, Adames hit a solo home run to the left to lead 2-0, and Lee Jung-hoo stepped down with a grounder to shortstop. Marquez's third pitch pushed a low knuckle curve 85.3 miles outside, but it became an ordinary grounder to shortstop.

In the fifth inning with a 5-1 lead, Lee Jung-hoo also failed to make a hit in the scoring chance with one out and second base. Colorado right-hander Anhel Chibi pulled in an 88.5-mile first-pitch changeup, but was pulled out after a fly ball to right field. The launch angle was 34 degrees, the batting speed was 92.1 miles, and the distance was 340 feet. At this time, second baseman Adames advanced to third base, but Matt Chapman struck out and did not lead to a score.

However, Lee Jung-hoo scored an RBI single in his last at-bat in the seventh inning. For the first time since his Major League debut, a ball hit the pushing body came out. With one out in the seventh inning with a 5-1 lead, Lee Jung-hoo was hit in the back of his left foot by right-hander Tyler Kinley's 86.8-mile slider on the third pitch in the second strike. Third baseman Patrick Bailey homered to widen the gap to 6-1.




Lee Jung-hoo, who advanced to second base when Chapman grounded out to second base, then scored after Mike Yastremski with Wilmer Flores' left-handed hit. San Francisco added a point with Lamont Wade Jr.'s timely hit with two outs and runners on first and second bases, leading to a 9-1 run.

San Francisco, which finished its four consecutive home games against Colorado with a 3-1 winning series, marked 22-13 and maintained its third place in the NL West. It is 1.5 games behind the leading Los Angeles Dodgers (23-11) and one game behind the second-place San Diego (22-11).
