It's back on track now.

San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo made a hit for two consecutive days, signaling his escape from the slump again.

Lee Jung-hoo played as the fifth center fielder in the final game of the four consecutive away games against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on the 4th (Korea time) and recorded 1 hit and 1 RBI in 3 at-bats. San Francisco won 7-2 with five top batters, including Lee Jung-hoo.




Lee Jung-hoo, who escaped silence for four consecutive games with three hits, one RBI and two runs in five at-bats against Arizona on the previous day, showed off his increased sense of hitting by hitting sharp balls several times. Lee Jung-hoo had a batting average of 0.247 (78 hits in 316 at-bats), an OPS of 0.719, six home runs, 36 RBIs and 48 runs scored.

Lee Jung-hoo showed a sharp batting sense from his first at-bat.

San Francisco scored the first run with back-to-back walks by Willy Adames and Rafael Devers after one out in the top of the first inning, and Elliott Ramos' double on the left-field line, and continued its chances with one out and runners on second and third bases. Lee Jung-hoo then flew a large fly to center field and brought Devers, the third baseman, home with ease.




In a two-ball, right-hander Brandon Part's third pitch hit a sinker that flew 93.5 miles outside the strike zone and hit a 96.7-mile line drive toward the fence in the middle. Center fielder Alec Thomas stepped back and caught it 372 feet away. Lee Jung-hoo, who had two strong hits of more than 100 miles the previous day, continued his hard hit (more than 95 miles) hitting the center of the bat. a 2-0 lead.

His second at-bat was also a hard hit. In the third inning with a 4-0 lead, Lee Jung-hoo hit a 93.6-mile outside fastball on the 6th pitch of the part in the full count and hit a strong straight hit with an angle of 17 degrees and a batting speed of 101 miles toward center field, but again, center fielder Thomas moved to the right and caught it. The distance is 344 feet.

In the sixth inning, when the 4-1 lead continued, he got on base with an infield hit after one out. At ball count 1B2S, he stuck out the bat on an 85.2 mile changeup that fell outside the fifth pitch of the part, and the hit missed and passed by the side of the pitcher's part and flowed toward second base. Shortstop Heraldo Perdomo calmly caught it and threw it quickly to first base, but Lee Jung-hoo's feet were fast. However, he failed to advance further due to the failure of the follow-up.




Lee Jung-hoo struck out in his last at-bat in the eighth inning with a 6-1 lead. I looked at left-hander Jaylon Biggs' 95.7-mile fastball over the outside strike zone on the fourth pitch.

San Francisco took the lead with a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning by adding two runs with Adames' double and Ramos' timely hit. When Arizona recovered one run in the bottom of the fifth inning when Eugenio Suarez hit a solo shot to the left, San Francisco went on a 6-1 run in the top of the seventh inning with Devers' two-run timely hit.

San Francisco starter Robbie Ray allowed three hits and two runs in nine innings, his second career complete game since moving to San Francisco. Ray, who threw a complete game for the first time in eight years since the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 31, 2017 (nine innings, four hits, 10 strikeouts, and no runs), was reminiscent of his time with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2021, when he won the AL Cy Young Award with 9-3 record and 2.68 ERA.

San Francisco, which ended the four consecutive games with two wins and two losses, maintained its third place in the NL West with 47 wins and 41 losses.
