Lee Jung-hoo played as the seventh center fielder in the last three consecutive away games against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park on the 11th (Korea time) and had no hits in four times at bat. San Francisco lost 3-5.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had four hits in the first two games of this series against Arizona, was silent for the second time in eight games in September, with a batting average of 0.269 (139 hits in 517 at-bats) and an OPS of 0.746, respectively. However, he added one RBI. Eight homers, 52 RBIs, 68 runs, 10 steals, 44 walks.
There is still one left in Kim Ha-sung's 140 hits in 2023, the record for the most hits in a season for KBO-born batters.
On the same day, the third-ranked New York Mets (76 wins and 70 losses) fell to the Philadelphia Phillies 1-8 and lost five consecutive games, and the gap with fourth-ranked San Francisco (74 wins and 72 losses) is two games.

In the fifth inning, when 0-4 inferiority continued, he hit a ground ball to shortstop and the leadoff runner was out. Rodriguez hit a 91-mile sinker on the first pitch, but it fell in front of shortstop Heraldo Perdomo.
Then, in the eighth inning, when he was far behind 0-5, he went out as the leadoff hitter and was out with a catcher ground ball. Right-hander Jake Woodford hit an 85.9-mile changeup that fell towards his body on the second pitch, but it fell in front of catcher Gabriel Moreno when it was missed.
San Francisco followed with a 2-5 run in the eighth inning with a double by Rafael Devers that hit the top of the right-center fence in the first and second bases opportunities made by back-to-back hits by Patrick Bailey and Elliott Ramos.
Lee Jung-hoo also hit a ground ball in his last at-bat in the ninth inning, but called in a runner and scored an RBI. With one out and runners on the second and third bases, right-hander Andrew Salfrank's 89.3 mile sinker was pulled into the middle of the fourth pitch, hitting it in the direction of second base, and third baseman Matt Chapman homered to narrow the gap to 3-5. But San Francisco did not chase any further.
