Lee Jung-hoo (27, San Francisco Giants) started as the fifth batter and center fielder in an away game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona on the 3rd (Korea time) and scored 3 hits, 1 RBI and 2 runs in 5 at-bats.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had no hits in the last four consecutive games, had a batting average of 240 for the season. He also kept the bench in the previous day's game.
Lee Jung-hoo, who returned, had an intense shot from his first at-bat. The opponent was Merrill Kelly, who had experience facing off in the KBO League. Kelly played for the SK Wyverns (current SSG Landers) for four years from 2015 and recorded a 48-32 record and 3.86 ERA in 119 games.
Lee Jung-hoo showed a strong performance with 467 percent in the KBO League.
Lee Jung-hoo was still strong against Kelly. With a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, he hit Kelly's first four-seam fastball with two outs and a first base to hit a three-base hit on the right-center fence. A shot that broke the long silence.
Lee Jung-hoo, who only grounded out in his second at-bat in the third inning, came out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the fourth inning and hit Kelly's change-up for a double that fell in the middle of the right. Multi-hit since the game against San Diego on the 5th of last month.

Leading 5-3 in the top of the ninth. The moment a cycling hit was possible when a home run came out. He succeeded in floating the ball by hitting Woodford's sinker, but he failed to get over the fence and ended up with a fly ball.
San Francisco allowed two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning without keeping the lead, and the game went to extra time.
In the top of the 10th inning of extra time, Ji-hoo took the lead as a runner on second base and scored. San Francisco passed the bottom of the 10th inning without losing a point and succeeded in escaping four consecutive losses.
From San Francisco's point of view, it is good to escape the losing streak, but Lee Jung-hoo's revival, which has been a constant concern, was more than anything else.
CBS Sports in the U.S. highlighted its performance after the game on the 3rd under the title `Lee Jung-hoo is out of a slump.'
The media said 'Lee Jung-hoo had only two hits in 36 at-bats before the game. He said he had no hits in 14 consecutive at-bats, adding that he had three hits in a game since May 7, and he lacked a home run in the cycling hit.
In addition, regarding triples, he pointed out his performance this season, saying, `He has seven, which is tied for fourth in the Major League.'
