While Lee Jung-hoo's batting sense continues to rise at the end of the season, the San Francisco Giants are also inflating their autumn baseball hopes with a fierce momentum.

San Francisco won 5-3 with Willy Adames' home run and Robbie Ray's good pitching in Game 2 of the three consecutive home games against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park on the 10th (Korea time).

San Francisco, which won its second straight game, marked 74 wins and 71 losses and kept its NL wild card fourth place, reducing its gap with the third-place New York Mets (76 wins and 69 losses) to two games.




The Mets lost to the Philadelphia Phillies 3-9 on the day, falling into a four-game losing streak. The Mets hold the last one of the three wild cards in the NL, and San Francisco lags behind the opponent's record by 2-4 this year, and the Mets have tiebreakers in the tiebreaker, so it can be seen as a three-game difference in practice.

Lee Jung-hoo contributed to the team's victory by making one hit in three at-bats. Lee Jung-hoo, who had three hits the previous day and had a hit for two consecutive days, had a batting average of 0.271 (139 hits in 513 at-bats), eight homers, 51 RBIs, 68 runs and an OPS of 0.751. He has a batting average of 0.500 (13 hits in 26 at-bats) in seven games in September.

Lee Jung-hoo, who stepped down with a pitching ground ball in his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning with a 3-0 lead, made a hit in his second at-bat.




Matt Chapman, the leader of the fourth inning with a three-run lead, hit a left double and hit second base with no outs. Lee Jung-hoo lightly pulled and hit a ball flowing toward center field when a 94.8-mile fastball flew outside the sixth pitch from the full count against Arizona right-hander Jack Gallen. A diving catch by shortstop Heraldo Perdomo blocked the ball, which was about to fall past second base at a speed of 96.2 miles.

Perdomo, who judged that the first base was late, threw home and second baseman Chapman had to stop at third base. Lee Jung-hoo's infield hit led to a chance to first and third bases with no outs.

Then, during Casey Schmidt's sacrifice fly to right field, Chapman dug home and widened the gap to 4-0. However, with one out and a runner on first base, Drew Gilbert did not score an additional double play by the first baseman.

Lee Jung-hoo was grounded out to second base in his third at-bat after two outs in the sixth inning.

San Francisco took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning when Adames pulled Gallen's body sinker with no outs and runners on the first and second bases and hit his 28th three-run of the season over the left-center fence.

San Francisco, which added one point with Schmidt's sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, ran 5-2 again with a superior solo shot by Patrick Bailey, the leader of the fifth inning, who was trailing 2-4. Arizona followed Vargas' timely hit in the top of the sixth inning by two runs, but the San Francisco bullpen later blocked the run to keep the win.

San Francisco starter Robbie Ray became the winning pitcher with three hits, two walks, five strikeouts and two runs in five innings. 11 wins and 6 losses with a 3.32 ERA in the season.

Ryan Walker, who took the mound as the closing pitcher, made 15 saves of the season.
