Lee Jung-hoo produced a hit in his first at-bat. Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the batter's box after two outs in the top of the second inning when he was trailing 0-1, hit a 92.9-mile fastball that flew toward the body of the opponent's left-hander JP Sears to lead to a clean hit in front of center field. It was measured at a launch angle of 19 degrees, a batting speed of 79.2 miles, and a distance of 227 feet.

Lee Jung-hoo, who went to third base on Christian Cos' heavy hit, then failed to reach home due to a failed follow-up hit.

In the seventh inning, he also went as a leadoff hitter and struck out swinging by left-hander Wandy Peralta's low sinker, and hit a ground ball to second base in the final at-bat of the ninth inning.
