Lee Jung-hoo played as the seventh center fielder in the first of four consecutive away games against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on the 19th (Korea time) and recorded no hits and one walk in three at-bats. San Francisco lost 1-2.
With San Francisco's batters tied to one hit by Dodgers pitchers, Lee Jung-hoo walked on base and hit home, but the long-awaited hit did not hit.
Lee Jung-hoo, who has been hitless in six consecutive games since the Arizona Diamondbacks match on the 11th, has a batting average of 0.262 to 0.261 (139 hits in 533 at-bats) and an OPS of 0.732 to 0.728, respectively. Eight home runs, 52 RBIs, 72 runs, 47 walks, on-base percentage of 0.325 and slugging percentage of 0.403.
Lee Jung-hoo's most recent hit was a shortstop infield hit in the bottom of the fourth inning against Arizona on the 10th. He has been on a 0-for-21 streak since then. Even in June, when he struggled with a monthly batting average of 0.143, he did not go as far as 6 games and 21 at-bats. During this period, all he got on base four times with four pitches.

San Francisco, which marked 76 wins and 77 losses, remained sixth in the NL wild card, and the gap with the third-place New York Mets widened to three games. On the other hand, the Dodgers firmly maintained their lead in the NL West with 86 wins and 67 losses. It is still difficult to go straight to the Division Series with five games to win against the Philadelphia Phillies (91-62), who are ranked second in the NL win rate.
Lee Jung-hoo, who scored as a pinch runner the previous day, was thoroughly beaten by Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Lee Jung-hoo, who took his first at-bat after one out in the top of the second inning when he was 0-0, pulled Yamamoto's 3rd pitch 92.8 miles cutter, but withdrew due to a straight out to the second baseman. He struck out in his second at-bat with two outs and a runner on first base in the fourth inning. On the ball count 1B2S, he fumbled his bat on a 92.1 mile splitter falling outside Yamamoto's fourth pitch.
However, in the sixth inning, trailing 0-2, he went out as the leadoff hitter, walked to get on base, and homered to score his team's only run. After going all the way to the full count with Michael Kopech, the Dodgers' second pitcher, he picked up a 99.2-mile fastball that flew low for the sixth time with a ball.
Lee Jung-hoo, who advanced to second base with Kopec's wild pitch, then advanced to third base with Elliott Ramos' walk while Drew Gilbert's opponent was changed to Blake Trinen after striking out, before walking home with Rafael Devers' push-out walk.
However, San Francisco failed to tie the game after Willy Adames and Matt Chapman struck out with one out in a row.

The Dodgers scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take the lead. Third baseman Ben Lotbet homered when Mookie Betts grounded out to shortstop in a second and third base chance made by first-runner Miguel Rojas' heavy hit and a superior double by Ohtani Shohei after one out, followed by Freeman's critical hit to lead 2-0.
After one out in the seventh inning, Blake Trinen, Anthony Banda, and Alex Besia kept a one-run victory until the ninth inning.
Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers hit two doubles and recorded two hits and one run in four at-bats. He marked a season batting average of 0.283 (164 hits in 579 at-bats), 51 homers, 95 RBIs, 138 runs scored, and 1.012 OPS.
