San Francisco won 11-5 with five home runs hit by five people, including Lee Jung-hoo, in the first game of the three consecutive home games against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park on the 9th (Korea time).
San Francisco, which previously ended its three away games against the St. Louis Cardinals with one win and two losses, added a valuable victory to mark 73 wins and 71 losses for the season.
San Francisco, ranked third in the NL West, must seek a wild card in order to reach the postseason. The New York Mets, clutching the last of three wild cards in each league, lost 0-1 to the Philadelphia Phillies on the same day. The gap with San Francisco, which is ranked fourth in the wild card rankings, has narrowed to three games. However, it should be considered a four-game difference in reality because the Mets have a tiebreaker, with San Francisco losing 2 wins and 4 losses this season.

However, given San Francisco's recent momentum, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be done. He has 12 wins and 3 losses in 15 games since the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on the 24th of last month. It is the first-place performance among the 30 teams during the same period. On the other hand, the Mets only won and lost eight games in 16 games during the same period, with a winning rate of 50%. In particular, he has been mired in three consecutive losses recently. San Francisco seems to be in earnest in hunting the Mets, the No. 1 overall player with $323 million (about 447.7 billion won) in payroll this year.
It is a strange atmosphere for the San Francisco team, which voluntarily gave up the postseason during the trade deadline at the end of July.
In any case, Lee Jung-hoo is definitely leading San Francisco's rise in the lineup. On this day, he also hit hard with three hits, two RBIs and two runs, including a home run that fueled the chase.
Lee Jung-hoo hit a superior two-run home run with one out and one on the first base in the bottom of the second inning, trailing 0-3, narrowing the gap to 2-3. Arizona right-hander Nabil Crismatt's 73.7 mile curve was lifted just over the right fence. It brought back a flow that could be taken away.
San Francisco, which trailed 2-3 with Lee Jung-hoo's home run, tied it 4-4 with Dominic Smith's superior two-run homer in the third inning, trailing 2-4.

Then, when Christian Kos hit a double on the right-field line, he brought two home, turning the tide to 6-4, Patrick Bailey's sacrifice fly and Elliott Ramos' two-run shot in the left-center to take the lead.
On the mound, starter Logan Webb won 14 games (nine losses) of the season with five hits and four runs (one earned run) in six innings. Webb was the first in the NL to break the 200-strikeout mark, adding seven strikeouts. Webb, who lowered his ERA to 3.12, ranks first in the NL in strikeouts (201) and pitching innings (184 ⅔).

Lee Jung-hoo, who had two or more hits in four of the six games in September, raised his batting average to 0.271 (138 hits in 510 at-bats) and his OPS to 0.752, respectively. The batting average of .27 has been 87 days since June 14. In September alone, he hit 0.522 (12 hits in 23 at-bats) with one homer, three RBIs and five runs scored in six games. Although the sample is small, the batting average in September is No. 1 in NL.
He has a batting average of 0.315 (52 hits in 165 at-bats) in 43 games, two homers, 11 RBIs, 19 runs scored, and an OPS of 0.820. The batting average is ninth in both leagues, fifth in the NL, and first in the team.
Along with Lee Jung-hoo, long-term contract-high salary players such as Matt Chapman (7 games, 0.409, 3 home runs, 6 RBIs), Rafael Devers (7 games, 0.241, 3 home runs, 7 RBIs, 7 runs), and Willie Adames (7 games, 0.273, 2 home runs, 6 RBIs), who have been showing strong performance in September, are also shining.
Coach Bob Melvin, who had a headache due to the stuffy lineup until mid-August, said after the game that `This is how our batters have been recently. That's why our performance is good and decisive. Thanks to the warm weather today, the flying ball flew more. Lee Jung-hoo's home run also had a batting speed of 94 miles, and it crossed the fence. Our batters are definitely playing well."
