The 'Grandson of the Wind' Lee Jung-hoo (outfielder), who is playing for the San Francisco Giants, hit a timely hit that helped close the gap and extended his hitting streak to six games. However, the team failed to achieve a three-game winning streak.

On the 30th (Korea time), Lee Jung-hoo was a starting center fielder batting third in the away game against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in San Diego, California.

Lee Jung-hoo came to bat in his first at-bat with two outs and no runners on in the first inning. He hit the second pitch from San Diego starter Nick Pivetta but was out on a fly ball to third base. In the fourth inning, with no outs, Lee Jung-hoo faced his second at-bat and was retired on a ground ball to third base.

In the sixth inning, trailing by four runs, Lee Jung-hoo came to bat in his third at-bat with no outs and a runner on second base. He hit a single to center field and drove in a run. Although Chapman and Flores struck out consecutively, Lee Jung-hoo scored after Ramos' single to center field and Wade's double down the left-field line. He went to the bench after flying out to center field as the lead-off batter in the seventh inning.

Meanwhile, San Francisco set its starting lineup with right fielder Mike Yastrzemski, shortstop Willy Adames, center fielder Lee Jung-hoo, third baseman Matt Chapman, designated hitter Wilmer Flores, left fielder Elliot Ramos, first baseman Lamonte Wade Jr., catcher Patrick Bailey, and second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald. The starting pitcher was Logan Webb.

San Diego, featuring pitcher Nick Pivetta, arranged its lineup with right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr., first baseman Luis Arraez, third baseman Manny Machado, designated hitter Gavin Sheets, shortstop Xander Bogaerts, second baseman José Iglesias, center fielder Tyler Wade, left fielder Jason Heyward, and catcher Elias Díaz.

San Diego defeated San Francisco 7-4, breaking a four-game losing streak.

The first score was by San Diego. After two outs in the first inning, Machado hit a single to right-center, and Sheets walked to set up runners on first and second. Bogaerts and Iglesias had consecutive timely hits, scoring three runs. San Francisco narrowed the gap in the fourth inning when lead-off batter Adames hit a solo home run to right field. Then, during San Diego's fourth-inning attack, Arraez's sacrifice fly to left field and Machado's timely hit to center field added two more runs.

San Francisco created a scoring opportunity in the sixth inning with a double to left-center by lead-off batter Adames while trailing 1-5. Lee Jung-hoo's single to center field added a run, and Ramos’ single created runners on first and third, allowing Wade's sweeping double to make it 4-5, just one run behind. In the seventh inning, with two outs, Sheets reached first base after being hit by a pitch. Bogaerts then extended the score to 7-4 with a two-run home run to left field.
