Lee Jung-hoo, known as the "Son of the Wind" and an outfielder for the San Francisco Giants, hit his first consecutive home runs in his Major League debut, sending Yankee Stadium into silence, the San Francisco regional media East Bay Times reported on the 14th.

On the 14th, Lee Jung-hoo led the team to a 5-4 victory with a performance that included two hits, four RBIs, and two runs scored in three at-bats, including consecutive home runs, in the away game against the Yankees.

Trailing 0-3 in the fourth inning with one out and no runners on base, Lee Jung-hoo faced his second at-bat and targeted a slider from Yankees starter Carlos Rodón on the sixth pitch after a full count, sending the ball over the right field fence.

In the sixth inning, trailing 1-3, Lee Jung-hoo came to bat with one out and runners on first and second after Cristian Coss's infield hit and Willy Adames' walk. Lee Jung-hoo seized a curveball from Carlos Rodón on the fifth pitch with a 1B-2S count and launched a three-run homer, turning the game around to 4-3.

San Francisco defeated the Yankees 5-4, concluding the three-game away series with two wins and one loss in a winning series.

East Bay Times noted, "With perfect weather for baseball on the 14th, Yankee Stadium was filled with fans. Lee Jung-hoo hit consecutive home runs, turning the Bronx Zoo into the Bronx Library," implying that Lee Jung-hoo's consecutive home runs silenced the stadium filled with Yankees fans.

The media also added, "Lee Jung-hoo contributed four RBIs, including his debut consecutive home runs, leading San Francisco to a 5-4 victory."
