Lee Jung-hoo played as the seventh center fielder in an away game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on the 7th (Korea time) and scored one hit and one point in four at-bats. The score was the winning run. After Lee Jung-hoo hit a double in the top of the ninth inning, San Francisco homered on the follow-up hit and won 4-2.
The first three at-bats were all misfortunes. Lee Jung-hoo grounded out to the second base in the top of the second inning, a grounder to the third base in the fifth inning, and a fly to the third base after one out in the seventh inning.
However, he hit a double in his fourth at-bat after one out in the ninth inning when the score was 2-2, and then homered and became the main player of the finishing run. Lee Jung-hoo pulled an 87.8-mile changeup that fell into the middle at the ball count of 2B1S against right-hander Dennis Santana, hitting a ball that flew over the first base and into the right outfield, and settled on second base. The batting speed reached 103.4 miles. With his 27th double of the season, he tied for sixth place in the NL.
Lee Jung-hoo then stepped home with ease and turned the tide 3-2 when pinch hitter Dominic Smith hit a double that fell on the right-wing line. San Francisco added one point with Patrick Bailey's timely hit to the right, widening the gap to 4-2.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Randy Rodriguez stopped the first inning with three outs and kept the victory.
