San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo was silent again. Lee Jung-hoo also had no hit in four at-bats in the last game of the three consecutive home games against the Boston Red Sox at Oracle Park on the 23rd (Korea time).
Lee Jung-hoo, who has been silent with 15 hits (including one walk) for four consecutive games since the game against the Cleveland Guardians on the 19th, had a batting average of 0.252 (72 hits in 286) and marked six home runs, 34 RBIs, 44 runs, 26 walks, 35 strikeouts, 6 steals, and an OPS of 0.724. Lee Jung-hoo's most recent hit was a left line drive hit in the ninth inning against Cleveland on the 18th.
OPS ranked 107th out of 161 batters who passed the regulation, eventually falling out of the 100th place. He hit 0.161 (10 hits in 62 at-bats) in June. In June, he had no hits in eight of his 17 games at bat. The home run is the 32nd game since the superior two-run shot hit in the bottom of the seventh inning of the home game against the Arizona Daaamondbacks on the 15th of last month.
On this day, the event was held where former major leaguer and Hanwha Eagles legend Kim Tae-kyun hit a hit and Lee Jung-hoo hit a shot as Hanwha Life Plus, a marketing partner of the San Francisco club. It was a more meaningful day for the San Francisco club to distribute Lee Jung-hoo's hooded jersey to 20,000 spectators as gifts. However, he did not contribute to the team's victory in the game where he is the main character.
San Francisco came from behind to win 9-5 in the second half of the game, with other batters except Lee Jung-hoo showing a scary concentration.

Lee Jung-hoo, who was a fifth batter for two consecutive days, hit right-hander Lucas Giolito's 92.7-mile first-pitch fastball in his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning when he was trailing 0-1, but he was caught by third baseman Nate Eaton as he floated high into the third-base foul area.
In the fourth inning with a 2-1 lead, he was out with a fly to left field. Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the batter's box with the lead Wilmer Flores walking on base and a runner, hit Giolito's second pitch 79.8 miles outside change-up in One Strike, but he also missed it and floated high and caught it as left fielder Jaren Duran ran forward.
After being upset 5-4 and two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, he hit a 92.9-mile fastball in the middle of Giolito's third pitch with a ball count of 1B1S, but he hit a ground ball to shortstop. A hard hit with a 99.7-mile batting speed headed toward shortstop Trevor Story, who was shifting toward second base.
Lee Jung-hoo, who was the leadoff hitter in the eighth inning after the team's lineup exploded in the bottom of the seventh inning and turned it around 8-5, failed to produce a hit again this time. It was a fly caught in center field in left-center field.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, San Francisco's lead, Casey Schmidt, hit a solo home run to the left and Mike Yastremski hit a superior solo home run after two outs, re-balancing 4-4, but Boston led by Sedane Raphael's solo shot to the left in the top of the sixth inning.
However, San Francisco turned the tables again in the bottom of the seventh inning by adding four more runs as the batters showed a scary concentration. Willy Adames' left-handed hit, Schmidt's missed double to the right, one out, second and third base chance. Tyler Fitzgerald made a squeeze bunt in front of the home plate, and Adames homered to tie the score at 5-5.
Boston second baseman Gonzalez caught Yastremski's straight hit While making a mistake that missed the back, third baseman Schmidt scored and took the lead again to 6-5, and Rafael Devers connected the chance to first and second base with two outs with a right-handed hit, followed by Ramos' superior double, bringing both home and widening the gap to 8-5.
San Francisco, which finished the three consecutive games with a winning series of 2 wins and 1 losses, marked 44 wins and 24 losses, and maintained a 3.5 game gap with the Los Angeles Dodgers (48 wins and 31 losses), which lead the NL West.
