Lee Jung-hoo played as a leadoff center fielder for the first time this season in the first three consecutive away games against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on the 11th (Korea time) and scored one hit and two points in five at-bats.
Although it was regrettable that he could not take advantage of the scoring opportunity twice, he scored the first point after hitting a mid-range triple in his first at-bat, and in his last at-bat, he got on base with an infield grounder and homered on a follow-up hit to score a dramatic equalizer. San Francisco scored four runs in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 2-5, and won the game 6-5.
Lee Jung-hoo has been excluded from the starting lineup for the last two consecutive games due to back pain. He missed the game against the Atlanta Braves on the 9th. He then took the leadoff for the first time this season.
With this, Lee Jung-hoo marked a batting average of 0.274 (68 hits in 248 at-bats), six homers, 32 RBIs, 37 runs scored, and an OPS of 0.767.

The ball, which flew at a firing angle of 28 degrees and a batting speed of 99.2 miles, fell 415 feet (126.5 meters) from the wall in the deepest center of Coors Field. Center fielder Brenton Doyle jumped and extended his glove, but he didn't close it. Statcast estimated that the ball may have crossed the fence in 22 of the 30 stadiums. In other words, it would have been a home run in most stadiums.
It is the first time in 50 days that Lee Jung-hoo added a triple since April 22 against the Milwaukee Brewers, and it is his third of the season. Lee Jung-hoo then scored when Willy Adames hit a short line drive toward center field, quickly running home and headfirst sliding.

In the fourth inning, when the 1-1 balance continued, he was out with a fly to the third baseman with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. When I put my bat out to Palmquist's 71.4 mile sweeper, it was missed and soared high toward third base. In the seventh inning, trailing 2-3, he went out as the leadoff hitter and hit a grounder to the pitcher.
And the beginning of the ninth inning when San Francisco's reversal unfolded. Lee Jung-hoo did not get a hit, but he homered with a fast-footed base run. San Francisco, which followed lead Casey Schmidt's solo home run to the left, made it 3-5, with back-to-back walks by Tyler Fitzgerald and Andrew Kezner to provide chances for first and second bases with no outs.
Lee Jung-hoo then stuck out his bat on left-hander Jack Agnos's third pitch, a 93.3 mile cutter high, but it flowed toward third base when it was missed, and Fitzgerald, the second baseman, was forced out of third base and he was safe at first base.
San Francisco had a one-out full base chance with Willie Amames' walk after Kisner and Lee Jung-hoo advanced one base each due to Agnos' wild pitch. Elliott Lamus then gradually followed the changed pitcher Victor Vodnick with a sacrifice fly in center field, and Lee Jung-hoo went all the way to third base and succeeded in tying the game 5-5 with Wilmer Flores' infield hit with two outs and runners on first and third. While Flores' slow ball flowed toward third base, Lee Jung-hoo homered.
Mike Yastremski then hit a right-handed hit and Adames homered, turning the tide 6-5. San Francisco faced a crisis in the bottom of the ninth inning when Camilo Doval gave up two hits and one walk, but managed to prevent a double play and earn 10 saves of the season.

San Francisco, which has won the most 17 games this season by one point, has won eight consecutive games since the San Diego Padres on the 3rd, and has won all six consecutive games by one point. This is the first real record in 36 years since the 1989 California Angels. The Angels won six consecutive games from July 19 to 25 of that year by one point.
