San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo stopped his hitless streak for four consecutive games. Lee Jung-hoo played in the home game against the Miami Marlins at Oracle Park on the 25th (Korea time) as the fifth center fielder and recorded one hit and one walk in three at-bats.
San Francisco fell to its knees 2-4.
Lee Jung-hoo, who remained silent from the game against the Cleveland Guardians on the 19th to the game against the Boston Red Sox on the 23rd with no hits in four games and 15 at-bats (including one walk), managed to quench his thirst by getting a hit in his third at-bat.
His batting average was 0.253 (73 hits in 289 at-bats), maintaining the .25 level, with six home runs, 34 RBIs, 44 runs, 27 walks, 35 strikeouts, 6 steals, and an OPS of 0.726.

Lee Jung-hoo hit an emotional hit at the batter's box without a runner after two outs in the fourth inning, trailing 0-3. With a ball count of 1B2S, he hit a 93.5-mile fastball that flew into the strike zone outside Qantril's fourth pitch to create an infield hit.
The ball, which hit at a speed of 101.3 miles, hit pitcher Quantryl's left foot after one bound and passed through first base with ease while flowing to the right. If it flowed toward center field without hitting the Qantril, it is a lucky hit as the shortstop who shifted near second base would have handled it.
It is the first time in five games and 17 at-bats that Lee Jung-hoo has had a hit since his left line drive hit in the ninth inning against Cleveland on the 18th.
Lee Jung-hoo then advanced to second base to create a scoring chance at Willy Adames' at-bat, taking advantage of Quantryl's check ball falling behind the first base, but the inning ended with Adames stepping down with a short fly to right-center.

At that moment, Lee Jung-hoo made a strong hit.
Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the batter's box for the third time in the sixth inning with no outs and runners on first base, trailing 2-3, only grounded out to second base when right-hander Anthony Bender's 86-mile slider falling toward his body was missed.
He got on base with a walk in the ninth inning when he was trailing 2-4. Lee Jung-hoo, who entered as the leadoff batter, walked straight from right-hander Calvin Forschey, but Casey Schmidt hit a double play and couldn't advance further and the game ended.
San Francisco's starter Justin Verlander allowed two runs in the top of the second inning and one run in the top of the third inning, but followed by one run with Christian Kosso's two-run homer to the left in the bottom of the fifth inning, but failed to chase further and knelt down.
San Francisco, which marked 44 wins and 35 losses, ranked second in the NL West, but the lead LA Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 9-7, widening the game to 4.5 games.
