San Francisco Giants Lee Jung-hoo continues his peak hitting at the end of the season. He hit three hits and achieved his fourth multi-hit game.

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 three hits, two RBIs and two runs in four at-bats, including his eighth home run of the season, leading to an 11-5 victory.

Lee Jung-hoo, who bowed his head without a hit in four at-bats, missing both scoring rights against St. Louis Cardinals the previous day, led the attack with a hit and a witty team play.




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. The batting average of .27 has been 87 days since June 14, and it has been 83 days since June 18 that it has exceeded the OPS 0.750 level. Now, the figure is suitable for a six-year, $113 million (about 156.9 billion won).

He has eight home runs, 51 RBIs, 68 runs, 44 walks, 64 strikeouts, 10 steals, 0.332 on-base percentage, and 0.420. In September alone, he has a batting average of 0.522 (12 hits in 23 at-bats) in six games.

The home run came in the 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 then rolled up a 73.7 mile curve on the fourth pitch that fell toward the body from the two-strike against Arizona right-hander Nabil Krismat, 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.




San Francisco, which followed with Lee Jung-hoo's home run, tied it at 4-4 with Dominic Smith's superior two-run home run in the bottom of the third inning, trailing 2-4.

Lee Jung-hoo hit in his second at-bat and completed a multi-hit early. He was the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fourth inning and pulled on Krismatt's second pitch 88.1-mile fastball to create a hit that flew to right-center at 99.6 miles. However, he failed to advance further due to the failure of the follow-up.

In the third at-bat with no outs and runners on the first and second bases in the sixth inning, when the tight balance of 4-4 continued, Lee Jung-hoo connected the chance to the bases loaded with no outs.

When left-hander Brandin Garcia's first ball 94.7-mile sinker flew to a slightly higher course toward the body, he changed his batting posture to bunting motion and calmly touched third base. Catcher Gabriel Moreno ran and tried to catch the ball, but as he missed it again, all runners, including Lee Jung-hoo, advanced one base and loaded the bases. The record holder judged that Moreno would have been safe even if he had caught it normally and threw it to first base, and recorded it as a hit.

Then, when Christian Cos pushed the changed pitcher Anthony Desclafani's outer ball and hit a double flowing on the right-wing line, he brought two home and turned the tide 6-4. Then, Patrick Bailey's sacrifice fly to the left field made Lee Jung-hoo home to widen the gap to 7-4. And Eliot Ramos' two-run shot to left-center left gave San Francisco a 9-4 run to win the game.

Lee Jung-hoo hit a well-hit ball after two outs in the seventh inning with a 10-4 lead, but it was in front of the fielder. A fastball pulled in the middle of Desclafani's 94 miles of first pitch flowed straight to second base at 103.4 miles and was grounded out.

San Francisco marked 73 wins and 71 losses and kept third place in the NL West, reducing its gap with third-place New York Mets (76 wins and 68 losses) to three games.
