Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants played in center field No. 6 against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Center and hit in his first at-bat.
He hit a clean left-handed hit in his first at-bat in the top of the second inning when he was 0-0. With a ball count of 1B2S, he hit a 90-mile sinker that dug into Toronto right-hander Chris Bassett's body on the fourth pitch, sending a line-drive hit flying at an angle of 20 degrees and 90.6 miles into the outfield in right-center.
Lee Jung-hoo, who succeeded in reviving by continuing his batting average in the 300s in July, showed off a sharp sense of hitting from the first day of the second half. The hit restored the batting average to .251 with a .255 batting average. It is Lee Jung-hoo's first time facing Toronto. Rogers Center is also visiting for the first time.
Lee Jung-hoo then advanced to second base with Casey Schmidt's left-handed hit, but Dominic Smith hit a double play to second base, so he couldn't reach home.
Lee Jung-hoo finished with a batting average of 0.249 (86 hits in 345 at-bats) and an OPS of 0.720 in 92 games in the first half. He had a batting average of 0.324 (12 hits in 37 at-bats), six RBIs, three runs scored, and an OPS of 0.852 until the previous day in July.

In the first half, he hit 0.227 (5 hits in 22 at-bats) with one homer, three RBIs, two runs scored, one stolen base and an OPS of 0.636 in six games. Kim Ha-sung, who suffered after returning to the big league, caused knee pain while stealing after being hit in the wrist and arm by a pitcher's throwing ball, should remain silent with no hits in seven at-bats in the most recent two games, providing a chance to rebound against Baltimore on the day.

Local media believe that Kim Hye-sung's chances of starting will expand in the second half of the year. Third baseman Max Muncy, who suffered a knee injury, will not return until after mid-August, and utility Kiké Hernández is expected to take until next week for his elbow abnormality to fully recover.
ESPN said in an article on the 18th that `Kim Hye-sung has been doing well as the Dodgers expected reputation. Elite-level defense and base learning did what we knew, and surprisingly, it has 137 OPS+ at-bats. With Max Muncy out with a knee injury, Kim Hye-sung will play more regularly in the coming weeks.
Kim Hye-sung has played a utility role since her debut in early May, continuing her active role in the offense and defense market, enhancing her big league vitality. However, he slowed down to a batting average of 0.226 (7 hits in 31 at-bats) in 11 games in July, and like Kim Ha-sung, he has to raise his pace from the beginning of the second half.
Milwaukee's starter on the day is right-hander Keen Priest, who is 7-2 with a 3.55 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP this season.
