Lee Jung-hoo started as the sixth center fielder in a home game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the morning of the 24th (Korea time). Lee Jung-hoo rested the previous day against St. Louis. The reason for the exclusion is presumed to be the sluggish hitting that has continued recently and the physical strength that has fallen at the end of the season.
Lee Jung-hoo, who was put back into the game after a day off, failed to make a hit in his first at-bat and was unable to get out of his seven consecutive hitless slump since the fifth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the 21st.
Lee Jung-hoo, who came to the batter's box after two outs in the bottom of the second inning, met opposing starter Andre Palante and pushed a four-seam fastball (95.1 miles) that came into the middle of the sixth pitch in the full count. However, a 107.2 mile hard hit was caught by the shortstop and he was out by a hair at first base.
Although he was out, hope remained in that the ball was properly caught in the center of the bat.

St. Louis center fielder Victor Scott Jr. sprinted forward and blew himself, but failed to catch Lee Jung-hoo's ball. In the meantime, third baseman Willy Adames homered, and Lee Jung-hoo added his 53rd RBI of the season. As a result, Lee Jung-hoo broke his recent seven-at-bats without hits and added an RBI with a timely hit 15 days after a two-run home run in the bottom of the second inning against Arizona on the 9th. As of the end of the fourth inning, San Francisco is leading 5-3.
