LA Dodgers Kim Hye-sung and San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo have been in a slugfest since the beginning of the game.

Kim Hye-sung started as No. 8 second baseman in the first of three away games against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on the 12th (Korea time), turning throwing a good defense in his first defense, and hitting and scoring in his first at-bat. Lee Jung-hoo hit a come-from-behind triple.

First of all, Kim Hye-sung was applauded by his teammates as he chased Casey Schmidt's ground ball when it flowed toward center field after two outs during the defense in the bottom of the second inning, caught it in reverse motion and threw it to first base with a turning throw.

Kim Hye-sung hit a heavy hit in the top of the third inning as a leadoff hitter and hit a 90.3-mile high cutter on the body of San Francisco ace right-hander Logan Webb. A perfect hit with a batting speed of 92.7 miles.

Kim Hye-sung, who succeeded in stealing second base at No. 9 Tommy Edman's at-bat, advanced to third base when Edman grounded out to first base.

The next batter is leadoff Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani pulled Webb's 91.1-mile first-pitch body cutter and connected it with a two-run shot that went well over the right fence. The ball, which flew at a 30-degree angle and a 106-mile batting speed, fell to McCorvey outside the right side of Oracle Park. Not attached to an away team player, but the 32nd arch of the season with a distance of 410 feet as a kind of 's flash hit'.

The Dodgers turned the tide 2-1 with Ohtani's home run also homered by Kim Hye-sung.

However, Lee Jung-hoo fought back.

Lee Jung-hoo, who struck out swinging by Dodgers right-hander Dustin May's 86.9-mile body sweeper in his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning, hit a superior triple in the second at-bat with one out and runners on first and second bases in the bottom of the fourth inning, trailing 1-2, bringing in both runners and turning the tide 3-2.

With a ball count of 2B2S, May pulled a 96.6-mile fastball on her fifth pitch and crossed right fielder Teoscar Hernandez's height with a 98.6-mile batting speed. Raphael Devers and Matt Chapman homered one after another with their eighth triple of the season.

However, he was then tagged out while jumping home on Schmidt's short fly to left field. There was a challenge request from San Francisco, but the decision did not change.
