Lee Jung-hoo started as the seventh center fielder in the second game of the three-game home series against the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park on the 13th (Korea time) and recorded one hit in four at-bats. San Francisco lost 1-5.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had an infield hit to the third base against Darvish Yu in the match against San Diego the previous day, continued his hitting streak for two consecutive games with an infield hit to the third baseman.
His batting average for the season was 0.256 (110 hits in 429 at-bats) and his OPS was 0.724. He recovered his batting sense in August, but his batting average is hardly out of the 250s.
Lee Jung-hoo stepped down as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the second inning, trailing 1-3, and made a hit in his second at-bat after two outs in the fourth inning.
San Diego left-hander Nestor Cortes was missed when he hit a 90.2 mile fastball that flew to the outside high course on the third pitch from the two-strike, flowing toward third base at a speed of 67.7 miles (109 kilometers). Third baseman Manny Machado ran forward, caught him, and threw him quickly to first base, but Lee Jung-hoo's feet were fast.
Lee Jung-hoo sprinted to first base with his helmet off. It was a close game as Machado's throw could have been out if it was not one-bound. Lee Jung-hoo was not able to advance further as the follow-up Tyler Fitzgerald stepped down with a fly ball to left field.

Lee Jung-hoo then pulled right-hander David Morgan's 95.1 mile fastball into the middle as if he had been waiting and hit a line drive ball to the right. The ball, which flew at a launch angle of 15 degrees and 105.1 miles (169.1 kilometers), unfortunately headed in front of right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr.
The batting speed was the third fastest among Lee Jung-hoo's hits this season, but Tatis Jr. moved slightly back and jumped 333 feet from the distance to catch it. Statcast suggested a batting probability of 0.670 for this hit. Just as the infield hit in the fourth inning was lucky, this hit was unlucky.
San Francisco then got a full base chance with one out due to pinch hitter Dominic Smith's right-handed hit, but Patrick Bailey stepped down with a shortstop fly and Elliott Ramos with a foul fly to the first baseman, failing to take advantage of the chase opportunity and giving up the flow completely.
Lee Jung-hoo was out with a grounder to the pitcher after one out in the eighth inning.
