San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo (27) ended his hit streak at 7 games.

San Francisco faced the Colorado Rockies in a game held on the 2nd (Korea time) at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, where he came in as a substitute and recorded 1 at-bat with no hits. San Francisco suffered a 3-4 comeback loss, putting them on a three-game losing streak.

Excluding Lee Jung-hoo from the starting lineup, San Francisco arranged its lineup with Eliott Ramos (left fielder), Willy Adames (shortstop), Wilmer Flores (designated hitter), Matt Chapman (third baseman), Mike Yastrzemski (right fielder), Luis Matos (center fielder), David Villar (first baseman), Patrick Bailey (catcher), and Cristian Cost (second baseman). Ramos hit his 5th home run of the season, and Adames, Flores, and Yastrzemski achieved multi-hits, but it wasn't enough to prevent the team's defeat.

Starting pitcher Justin Verlander performed well, pitching 6⅓ innings, allowing 5 hits (1 home run), walking 1, striking out 4, and giving up 2 earned runs, but the bullpen squandered the win. The bullpen, consisting of Camilo Doval (⅔ inning, scoreless), Tyler Rogers (1 inning, 2 earned runs), and Randy Rodriguez (1 inning, scoreless), could not preserve the victory.

Colorado's starting lineup included Brenton Doyle (center fielder), Jordan Beck (left fielder), Michael Toglia (first baseman), Hunter Goodman (catcher), Ryan McMahon (third baseman), Mickey Moniak (right fielder), Kyle Farmer (second baseman), Nick Martini (designated hitter), and Alan Trejo (shortstop). McMahon hit his 3rd home run of the season, while Doyle and Trejo contributed with multi-hits.

Starting pitcher Kyle Freeland recorded 6 innings, 7 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 5 strikeouts, and 3 earned runs. The bullpen, featuring Ángel Chivile (1⅓ innings, scoreless), Scott Alexander (⅔ inning, scoreless), and Jack Agnos (1 inning, scoreless), laid the groundwork for the comeback victory. Rookie pitcher Agnos earned his 2nd save of the season.

San Francisco took the lead in the bottom of the first inning when Ramos hit a leadoff home run.

In the top of the 3rd inning, Colorado's Trejo hit a double with one out, and Doyle followed with an RBI single to tie the game.

In the bottom of the 6th inning, leadoff hitter Adames reached base on a hit. Flores then hit an RBI double to give the team back the lead. Chapman laid down a groundout, creating a 1 out, 3rd base opportunity, and Yastrzemski hit an RBI double to extend the lead.

In the top of the 7th inning, Colorado had a point back with McMahon's solo home run. Lee Jung-hoo replaced Matos in center field in the 8th inning. With one out, Doyle reached second base with a hit and a steal, and Beck hit an RBI double to bring the game back to a tie. In the subsequent opportunity of 1 out and 2 runners on base, Toglia hit a groundball to the third base, but Goodman came through with an RBI single to turn the game around.

In the bottom of the 8th inning, San Francisco's leadoff hitter Flores hit a single. However, Chapman was caught out on a pop fly to third base, and pinch runner Brett Wisely failed to steal second base. Yastrzemski connected for another hit, but Lee Jung-hoo hit a 91.9 mph (147.9 km/h) sinker from left-handed reliever Alexander into a groundout to second base.

San Francisco failed to score in the 9th inning and lost, resulting in a three-game losing streak. Lee Jung-hoo's hit streak ended at 7 games. His season record is 31 games with a batting average of .316 (117 at-bats, 37 hits), 3 home runs, 18 RBIs, 23 runs scored, 3 steals, and an OPS of .893.
