San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo went hitless for three consecutive games. Lee Jung-hoo played as the third center fielder in Game 2 of the three consecutive away games against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the 11th (Korea time) and had no hits in three times at bat.
It is the second time that Lee Jung-hoo has remained hitless in three consecutive games since entering the Major League after April 4-7 last year. However, it is Lee Jung-hoo's longest career record that he failed to get on base because he could not get a hit or a walk in 12 consecutive at-bats. In May, he recorded a batting average of 0.176 (6 hits in 34 times at bat) and an OPS of 0.465 in nine games, showing signs of a slump. During this period, he did not get any walks and struck out four times. The March-April batting average was 0.319, but it sank to the 10% level in May.
Lee Jung-hoo is on a hitless streak of 12 consecutive at-bats after hitting a right-handed hit in the 11th inning in an away game against the Chicago Cubs on the 7th. He went 0-for-5 against the Cubs on the 8th, went 0-for-4 against Minnesota on the 10th, and then went 0-for-3 on the day.
His batting average in NL Top 10 plummeted from 0.312 to 0.287 (43 hits in 150 at-bats). In addition, the OPS, which was over 90%, was 0.804, which was on the verge of collapse by 80%. As of today, it fell to 18th place in the NL batting average and 27th place in the OPS. Lee Jung-hoo's bat, which was praised as an MVP candidate for leading San Francisco's sensation, has cooled down.
Other records include four home runs, 23 RBIs, 27 runs, 11 walks, 21 strikeouts, 3 steals, an on-base percentage of 0.337, a slugging percentage of 0.467, 17 long hits, and 70 hits.

After one out in the fourth inning, trailing 1-2, Ryan's third pitch pulled a low splitter outside 86.4 miles and hit a ground ball to second base, and center fielder Byron Buxton also hit an 88.3-mile sweeper on the fourth pitch of the opponent's right-hander Griffin Jax in the third at-bat in the seventh inning. The launch angle was 25 degrees and the batting speed was 89.1 miles.
In fact, Lee Jung-hoo was not the only San Francisco batter who was sluggish on the day. Most hitters struggled with Minnesota pitchers such as Ryan. Elliott Ramos had three hits (home runs) in three at-bats and Christian Kos had one hit in three at-bats, but the remaining seven batters failed to record a hit, let alone a hit, on-base hit.
San Francisco starter Logan Webb pitched ace-like with five hits, one walk, two runs and nine strikeouts in seven innings, but lost without the support of the batters. 4-3 with a 2.60 ERA in nine games of the season.
San Francisco also kneeled 1-3 in the first game the previous day, struggling with three hits. San Francisco, which lost its second straight game, maintained its third place in the NL West with 24 wins and 16 losses, but failed to close the gap with the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers (26 wins and 14 losses) and the second-place San Diego Padres (24 wins and 13 losses).
