San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo achieved multi-hitters and succeeded in hitting for five consecutive games.

Lee Jung-hoo played as the third center fielder in the home game against the Athletics at Oracle Park on the 17th (Korea time) and recorded two hits in five at-bats. San Francisco won 9-1 thanks to "One Man Show" in which Lee Jung-hoo's front hitter Wilmer Flores scored eight RBIs by hitting three home runs, including a grand slam, a three-run shot, and a solo shot.

Lee Jung-hoo failed to score an RBI and a run, but he has had five consecutive hits since the game against the Minnesota Twins on the 12th, raising his batting average to 0.289 (50 hits in 1,732 times at bat). He maintained six home runs, 29 RBIs, 30 points and 3 steals, and raised his OPS to 0.818.




Lee Jung-hoo, who took his first at-bat without a runner after two outs in the bottom of the first inning, hit a sweeper in the middle of the second pitch on the one-strike against left-hander JP Sears and was caught with a fly ball to left field.

In the third inning, he also stepped down as a mistake in his second at-bat. San Francisco took a 4-0 lead when Willer Flores fired a grand slam over the left-center fence in a bases-loaded chance with a heavy hit by leadoff Patrick Bailey and back-to-back walks by Tyler Fitzgerald and Elliott Ramos.

Lee Jung-hoo, who then entered the batter's box, drew a sweeper outside of Sears' fourth pitch of 79.4 miles and grounded out to second base.

But Lee Jung-hoo finally produced a hit in the third at-bat. Lee Jung-hoo, who took the lead in the fifth inning with a 4-0 lead, lightly hit a sweeper that flew to a high course outside 77.4 miles on the fourth pitch in the ball count 1B2S against Sears and hit a line drive toward center field.

When Lee Jung-hoo had a hit, the Athletics replaced the mound from Sears to right-hander Grant Holman. However, Lee Jung-hoo advanced to second base with Mike Yastremski's walk after Matt Chapman and Willy Adames were each out on outfield flies, but Lamont Wade Jr. struck out and did not reach home.

Lee Jung-hoo added a hit with a double after one out in the sixth inning with a 7-0 lead, achieving his 12th multi-hit game this season. While front hitter Flores hit a three-run home run on the left side to widen the gap to 7-0, Lee Jung-hoo hit a 89.8-mile body changeup on the fifth pitch in the ball count 2B2S against Matt Crook, the changed pitcher, and flew to the left and hit a ball falling on the foul line before settling on the second base with ease.




It was the first time in 22 days that Lee Jung-hoo had a double since the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on the 25th of last month. Lee Jung-hoo then advanced to third base when Willy Adames had a hit after two outs, but Yastremski stepped down with a right-wing fly and failed to reach home.

San Francisco allowed a run in the top of the eighth inning, but added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning with Flores' solo home run and Adames' timely hit to seal the victory.

San Francisco, which played the first game of a three-game series against the Athletics, marked 26 wins and 19 losses and maintained third place in the NL West.
