The U.S. local media focused on Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) for the first time in a long time. It was understandable. Lee Jung-hoo finished the game-changing final hit against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He hit his eighth triple of the season, ranking third overall in the Major League.
Lee Jung-hoo started the game against the Dodgers in the sixth batter center field at the Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 12th (Korea time) and led the team to an 8-7 come-from-behind victory by swinging three hits and three RBIs from four times at bat.
Lee Jung-hoo's long shot hit in the bottom of the fourth inning, trailing 1-2. Dodgers starter Dustin May walked Rafael Devers and Matt Chapman in a row to get the chance to first and second bases with no outs. Willy Adames struck out swinging. Lee Jung-hoo, who took the batter's box with one out and runners on the first and second bases, hit a 96.6 mph (about 155.5 km) fastball on the body for the fifth pitch in the ball count 2B2S, leading to a superior two-run timely triple.
Lee Jung-hoo recorded his eighth triple of the season, ranking third overall in the Major League and second alone in the National League. Prior to the game, he was tied for second place with Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers) with seven, but he pushed Ohtani away. Corbin Carroll (Arizona Diamondbacks) and Jarran Duran (Boston Red Sox) are tied for first place in the major league triple category with 10.
The situation was a bit disappointing after the triple. Casey Schmidt hit a fly ball to left field with one out and third base. Lee Jung-hoo's foot allowed him to score with a sacrifice fly, but Dodgers left fielder Michael Confoto's throw home was so accurate. The referee's initial decision was out. San Francisco applied for the challenge, but the decision was not reversed. San Francisco's good flow was cut off once as the inning ended with a double play in an instant.
Lee Jung-hoo recovered from the batter's box when San Francisco scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, solidifying his victory. Leading hitter Dominic Smith hit a solo shot to left-center to widen the distance to 4-2, and Patrick Bailey's hit and Mike Yastremski and Devers' walk led to a one-out bases-loaded opportunity. When Chapman grounded out to second base, third baseman Bailey scored to make it 5-2, and the Dodgers got May off the mound and replaced him with Anthony Banda.
Willy Adames took a timely two-run triple over the middle of the month from Banda, a changed pitcher with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, and widened the distance to 7-2. Lee Jung-hoo then got on base with an infield hit in front of the first baseman, raising an RBI to make it 8-2.

San Francisco's local media outlet `NBC Sports Bay Area' reported 'Lee Jung-hoo had a tough few months, but he was on the ground all day. In the bottom of the fourth inning, he hit a line drive to Triple Alley (deepest part of Oracle Park) beyond the reach of right fielder Hernandez. Devers and Chapman scored, and Lee Jung-hoo ranked second in the National League with his eighth triple of the season.
I pointed out the disappointment together.
NBC Sports Bay Area caught Lee Jung-hoo heading home because Schmitt hit a fly ball toward left field, and Confoto's throw was so perfect. San Francisco applied for the challenge, but after a long reading, the New York Reading Center declared Lee Jung-hoo out. Lee Jung-hoo then added two more hits, playing his second three-hit game in the last eight, but he also made one mistake in the center field defense and made several sleeping mistakes'The positive and negative aspects coexisted.
The Major League website MLB.com helped right-handed All-Star starter Logan Webb by recording three RBIs each for Adames (2 for 4) and Lee Jung-hoo (3 for 4) . Webb scored six runs in five ⅓ innings in his last appearance in the first half, securing the victory even after scoring the most runs this year. Considering that the Dodgers chased up to a one-run gap, Lee Jung-hoo's infield hit RBI eventually decided the winner.
MLB's official SNS selected Lee Jung-hoo as a photo of the player in the game and said, `Lee Jung-hoo swept three hits and three RBIs, giving San Francisco a victory in the first game of the series against the Dodgers.'
Lee Jung-hoo's batting average for the season has risen sharply from 0.245 to 0.251. Lee Jung-hoo had the worst month of his Korean and U.S. career with a batting average of 0.143 in June, and is singing a rebound with a batting average of 0.355 in July.
