San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo added an RBI by hitting in seven consecutive games.

Lee Jung-hoo played as the third center fielder in an away game against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on the 1st (Korea time) and recorded 1 hit and 1 RBI in 4 at-bats. However, San Francisco lost to San Diego for the second straight day with a 3-5 knee. It fell to third place in the NL West with 19 wins and 12 losses for the season. San Diego jumped to second place with 19 wins and 11 losses.

Lee Jung-hoo, who has had a hit in seven consecutive games since the Milwaukee Brewers on the 24th, has a batting average of 0.319 (37 hits in 116 at-bats), three homers, 18 RBIs, 23 points, and an OPS of 0.901 in 30 games of the season.




In the top of the first inning, Lee Jung-hoo stepped down with a fly ball to the third base with one out and a runner on the first base. San Diego right-hander Michael King's 85.7-mile changeup on the second pitch was caught by third baseman Manny Machado as it floated high into the infield.

In the fourth inning, trailing 0-2, he hit a short fly to right field after one out. After clearing four fouls in a row with a ball count of 1B1S, he hit an 87.4 mile changeup that fell toward his body for the seventh time, but soared high to the right and was caught by right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr.

However, San Francisco recovered a point with Lee Jung-hoo's timely hit in the sixth inning, trailing 0-4. One out, Tyler Fitzgerald's walk and Mike Yastremski's heavy hit created chances for first and second base. Then third baseman Machado, who caught Willy Adames' ground ball with difficulty, threw it to second base and force out the first baseman, with two outs and runners on first and third bases.




Lee Jung-hoo, who then appeared, pulled the sinker in the middle of King's fifth pitch at 91.7 miles with a ball count of 3B1S and hit a ground ball to first base. San Diego first baseman Luis Arraez fell to his right and tried to catch it, but the ball hit the glove and flowed toward second base. In the meantime, third baseman Fitzgerald homered, and chances continued with two outs and runners on first and second bases.

At that time, San Diego lowered its first run and replaced the pitcher with fastball right-hander Jeremiah Estrada. Matt Chapman struck out swinging and San Francisco failed to score additional points.

In the eighth inning, trailing 3-5, Adames' walk after two outs left the runner at first base and entered the batter's box. Then San Diego's pitching coach took the mound. It's probably an order for Lee Jung-hoo to play hard.




Fans shouted "Jeong~Hoo~Lee~" from the audience. Lee Jung-hoo kicked a 92.8-mile fastball on the sixth pitch in the full count, but the hit was blocked by left fielder Jason Heyward's good defense. The ball, which was high at an angle of 50 degrees, went into Hayward's glove, which flew just before it fell on the left-wing line.

San Francisco starter Aaron Roof lost four runs in four ⅓ innings, giving up seven hits and three walks.

San Diego starter King earned his fourth win (one loss) of the season with three hits, one walk, six strikeouts, and one run in five ⅔ innings, lowering his ERA to 2.09.

San Diego led 2-0 in the third inning with Diaz's solo home run to the left after scoring the first run with Tyler Wade's timely hit in the bottom of the second inning. In the fifth inning, Araez's right-handed hit and Jose Iglesia's infield hit with one out and runners on the first and third bases added two runs to open the gap to 4-0.

San Francisco scored three runs in the sixth inning with Lee Jung-hoo's timely hit, Elliott Ramos' solo shot to the left in the seventh inning, and Mike Yastremski's superior solo shot in the eighth inning.
