San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo played a strong role in balancing the game he was trailing from his first at-bat. After hitting as a leadoff hitter, he stole second base and took advantage of his throwing error to quickly run to third base to provide an easy scoring chance.

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 batting continued in his first at-bat on the day. 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, met Mets starter Frankie Montas and had a clean hit to the middle. 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.

Lee Jung-hoo, who lightly settled on first base, shook the opponent's battery with his fast feet this time.

He immediately tried to steal second base when the follow-up hitter Patrick Bailey was at bat. Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez hurriedly threw the ball to second base. But the direction was wrong. The shortstop who came into the cover of the second base couldn't catch it and the ball flowed into the outfield. The ball didn't go that far.




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.

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.
