Lee Jung-hoo played as the seventh center fielder against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park in his home stadium on the 9th (Korea time) and hit a thrilling home run in his first at-bat.
In the bottom of the second inning, trailing 0-3, San Francisco created a chance for one out and one out with leader Matt Chapman's right-handed hit and Drew Gilbert's groundout to second base.
Lee Jung-hoo, who then took his first at-bat, kicked up a 73.7 mile curve on the fourth pitch that fell toward the body from the two-strike against Arizona right-hander Nabil Kryst, leading to a two-run shot slightly over the right fence.
He hit his eighth homer of this season, which was 33 degrees in firing angle, 367 miles in batting speed and 364 feet (110.9 meters) in distance. He did not reach the sea (McCoby) outside the right-hand stand at Oracle Park, but he hit the ball in the stands above a 24-foot (7.3 meter) tall red brick fence.
It is the first time in 20 days that Lee Jung-hoo hit a home run in an away game against the San Diego Padres on the 20th of last month after a solo shot to right-center as the leadoff hitter in the top of the first inning.
It was his first home run and 10th hit in September. It is also a long hit in three days after a right triple in the top of the seventh inning of an away game against the St. Louis Cardinals on the 6th.
Lee Jung-hoo's home run put San Francisco on a tight schedule, trailing 2-3.
