Lee Jung-hoo played as the seventh center fielder and hit two hits in four at-bats in Game 2 of the three consecutive home games against the Philadelphia Phillies at Oracle Park on the 9th (Korea time). But San Francisco won 4-3.
It is the first time in a week that Lee Jung-hoo played a multi-hit game since the match against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 3rd.
The batting increase is noticeable in July. He marked a batting average of 0.320 (8 hits in 25 at-bats) in six games in July, including three consecutive hits since the game against the Athletics on the 6th.
His batting average for the season increased slightly to 0.246 (82 hits in 333 at-bats) and his OPS to 0.707. Six home runs, 37 RBIs, 49 runs, 209 walks and 41 strikeouts remain the same.
Both of the hits he hit on the day were ground balls and missed the infield, but the hit was still outstanding.

San Francisco then scored the first run with Dominic Smith's left-handed hit. However, Patrick Bailey's double play failed to score an extra point.
Lee Jung-hoo also had a hit in his second at-bat, completing the multi-hit game early. Lee Jung-hoo, who entered as the leadoff hitter in the fifth inning with a 1-0 lead, pushed a 90.5-mile sinker on the first pitch of left-hander Tanner Banks to create a left-handed hit. The 86-mile-long ball passed shortstop Trey Turner's right and reached left field Otto Kemp.
Lee Jung-hoo, who advanced to second base due to Bailey's heavy hit and third base due to Eliot Ramos' fly to center field after Smith withdrew to the center field lineout, failed to reach home due to Rafael Devers striking out swinging.
Lee Jung-hoo, who entered as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the seventh inning shortly after being upset 1-3, drew left-hander Matt Stram's 82.2-mile-low slider and grounded out to second base.
And in the ninth inning, when the loss was 1-3, lead Casey Schmidt got on base with a left double, but he was left with a fly to the third baseman, leaving a regret.

However, San Francisco won a dramatic come-from-behind victory in the bottom of the ninth inning when Patrick Bailey hit a walk-off inside the park home run against the fence in right-center. San Francisco starter Robbie Ray pitched well with four hits and one run in five ⅔ innings, but failed to secure the victory.
San Francisco, which has won four games in a row, has 51 wins and 41 losses to keep second place in the NL West. It narrowed the gap to five games with the Los Angeles Dodgers (56 wins and 37 losses), the leading team in the district.
