San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo showed his power to hit three hits in one game in eight days. It is the eighth time this season that he has had three hits in a game.
Lee Jung-hoo started as the seventh center fielder in the last three consecutive away games against the New York Mets at City Field in New York, USA, early on the 4th (Korea time). Lee Jung-hoo started in both games against the Mets and recorded a batting average of 0.375 (3 hits in 8 times at bat) to recover his batting sense.
This recovery in hitting peaked in the last game of the three consecutive games. From the first at-bat, he became the main player of the tie score with hits and stolen bases, and then hit consecutively in the two at-bats.
It is the first time in eight days that Lee Jung-hoo had three hits in one game since the home game against the New York Mets on the 27th. Again, he showed strength with three hits against the Mets. Lee Jung-hoo's batting average against the Mets this year is as high as 0.500 (11 hits in 22 times at bat).
Lee Jung-hoo, who came to his first at-bat as a leadoff hitter in the top of the third inning when he was trailing 0-1, had a clean hit against Mets starter Frankie Montas. After the first ball, a 95.3-mile four-seam fastball came into the middle of the second pitch. Lee Jung-hoo's bat turned cheerfully. a hard hit with a batting speed of 92.1 miles. A fast ground ball passed through the infield and rolled in front of center field.
Lee Jung-hoo, who lightly settled on first base, shook the opponent's battery with his fast feet this time.

However, Lee Jung-hoo did not miss this short gap. He ran to third base by utilizing the speed he used to enter second base. The center fielder caught it and sprayed it to third base, but Lee Jung-hoo has already settled on third base. It was a play that provided the team with a chance to hit third base with no outs with fast feet and shrewd judgment.
In the end, thanks to Lee Jung-hoo, San Francisco tied the game and turned the tables. Bailey hit a timely hit to make it 1-1 by bringing Lee Jung-hoo home. Raphael Devers hit a delightful three-run home run in the ensuing one-out, first and second base chances, quickly turning it around 4-1. It was the butterfly effect created by leadoff hitter Lee Jung-hoo's batting and shrewd running play.
Lee Jung-hoo, who reported a hit from his first at-bat, added a hit to his second at-bat in the top of the fourth inning with one out and a runner on first base. Lee Jung-hoo, who faced Montas again this time, hit a cutter (90.9 miles per hour) that entered the high course on the fourth pitch in the ball count of 2B1S, making another heavy hit.

Lee Jung-hoo's hit continued in his third at-bat as a leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning. Lee Jung-hoo, who met the changed pitcher Austin Warren, was in full count after 2B with a swing and two fouls. Here, Warren threw a sweeper for the sixth pitch. Lee Jung-hoo technically cut a low sweeper and dropped it in front of left field, throwing his third hit of the day.
But this time, it didn't lead to a score. After Lee Jung-hoo hit, Bailey hit a fly ball to center field and McCray and Ramos struck out consecutively, ending the inning. Lee Jung-hoo will achieve his first four-hit game of the year if he adds one hit in the rest of the game.
