San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo helped the team win for the first time in a long time.

Lee Jung-hoo played as a leadoff center fielder in the last of three consecutive home games against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on the 25th (Korea time) and recorded one hit and one walk in four at-bats.

San Francisco came from behind to win 4-3 in the top of the ninth inning when Elliott Ramos hit the winning shot in a bases-loaded chance made by Lee Jung-hoo's valuable walk.




Lee Jung-hoo, who ended his 10th consecutive hit with no hits in four at-bats on the first day of the three consecutive games, continued his hit parade with sharp hits on the day after the previous day. He marked a season batting average of 0.259 (122 hits in 471 at-bats), seven home runs, 47 RBIs, 61 runs, 41 walks, 10 steals, and an OPS of 0.730.

He struck out three pitches in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning. He swung and missed on Milwaukee right-hander Chad Patrick's 95.6-mile fastball outside off the two-strike.

In the second at-bat with two outs and a runner on first base in the second inning with a 2-0 lead, Patrick hit a 94-mile fastball on his third pitch, but was slightly missed and thrown out by a fly ball to left field. He then hit a ground ball to the first base after one out in the fifth inning when the score was 2-2.

Lee Jung-hoo, who failed to show his presence in his first three at-bats, impressively blocked the run with defense in the bottom of the sixth inning, trailing 2-3. Brandon Locridge's 108-mile (173.8km) fast line drive hit by a runner at second base with one out ran forward and caught it with a sliding catch. San Francisco pitcher Joel Peguero then faced a crisis with two outs and runners on first and third, but he caught Salprelik with a fly ball to left field and finished the inning scoreless.

Lee Jung-hoo eventually produced a hit in the fourth at-bat. Lee Jung-hoo, who entered as the leadoff hitter in the eighth inning with a 2-3 inferiority, persistently held right-hander Avner Uribe to the full count. Lee Jung-hoo, who fouled out the slider on the seventh pitch, hit it as it was when the 8th pitch 98.6 mile sinker flew into the middle and hit a right-center hit at a speed of 102.2 miles (164.5 kilometers). 122nd hit of the season.

However, it did not reach the home ground. San Francisco, which created the first and second base chances with Willy Adames' heavy hit after one out, ended the inning without scoring as Dominic Smith struck out and Casey Schmidt was out with a foul fly.




However, San Francisco turned the tide by scoring two runs in the ninth inning. Leader Matt Chapman opened the scoring with a double to right-center. After one out, Luis Matos hit a left-handed hit and connected the chance to the first and third bases. Pinch-hitter Rafael Devers struck out swinging and got two outs and runners on first and third.

Lee Jung-hoo then picked out a high fastball outside of right-hander Trevor Megill's fifth pitch of 100.6 miles (161.9 kilometers) with a ball, getting on base and connecting the chance with the bases loaded. In the end, Ramos hit a high fastball in the middle of Megill's fourth pitch of 99.9 miles and connected it with a heavy hit, bringing two runners home.

San Francisco, which turned the tide 4-3, kept its victory by one point in the bottom of the ninth inning with Ryan Walker taking the mound and allowing one hit and two strikeouts. 11 saves of the season.

San Francisco, which won two consecutive games and decorated this three-game series with a 2-1 winning series, marked 63 wins and 68 losses to maintain fourth place in the NL West. Milwaukee, on the other hand, won the second consecutive losing series, and the winning rate decreased to 0.618, with 81 wins and 50 losses. However, it is still No. 1 overall.
