Lee Jung-hoo started as the seventh center fielder in Game 2 of the three consecutive home games against the New York Mets at Oracle Park on the 27th (Korea time), hitting a hit in his first at-bat and hitting a ground ball that led to a score in his second at-bat, respectively.
In the bottom of the second inning, Wilmer Flores' left-handed hit and Casey Schmidt's fly ball to right field made it one out and one out. In his first at-bat, Lee Jung-hoo hit a clean left-handed hit and connected the chance to the first and second bases.
Mets left-hander David Peterson pushed a sinker in the middle of the 90.8-mile second pitch to produce a line drive hit that landed in front of left field at 96.3 mph. Lee Jung-hoo had a hit parade of three consecutive at-bats following a left-handed double in the sixth inning and a heavy hit in the ninth inning against the Mets the previous day.
However, the next batter, Luis Matos, hit a double play by the second baseman, and the inning ended as it was.

At Oracle Park, "Jung~Hoo~Lee~"!" With Chant flowing out, Lee Jung-hoo made a surprise bunt on the first pitch, but it was a foul. After the second ball, the third ball was fouled off the body change-up, and the ball count was 1B2S.
Lee Jung-hoo swung the bat vigorously as Peterson's fourth pitch 93.1 miles sinker flew into the strike zone on his body. The missed ball became a ground ball and flowed toward the second baseman. First baseman Casey Schmidt was forced out of second base, and Lee Jung-hoo lived at first base. In the meantime, third baseman Willy Adames homered and San Francisco began to lead 1-0.
However, with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, Matos hit a fly ball to the second base, so there were no additional points.
