“The grandson of the wind hit a home run in the city of the wind.”
The 'grandson of the wind,' Lee Jung-hoo (outfielder), who is active with the San Francisco Giants, hit his fourth home run of the season in Chicago, known as the city of the wind.
Lee Jung-hoo started as the third center fielder in the away game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois, on the 7th (Korean time).
San Francisco, with Justin Verlander on the mound as the starting pitcher, arranged the batting order with Mike Yastrzemski, Willy Adames, Lee Jung-hoo, Matt Chapman, Wilmer Flores, Lamonte Wade, Elliot Ramos, Patrick Bailey, and Brett Wisely.
The Cubs set their starting lineup with Ian Happ, Kyle Tucker, Suzuki Seiya, Michael Busch, Nico Hoerner, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Dansby Swanson, Miguel Amaya, and John Berti. Colin Rea took the mound as the starting pitcher.
After striking out swinging in his first at-bat in the first inning, Lee Jung-hoo exploded a two-run home run over the right field wall in the third inning, creating a first and second base situation with one out from Willy Adames' single, putting the Giants ahead 2-0. It was his fourth home run of the season, coming 23 days after the game against the New York Yankees on April 14.
MLB.com, the official Major League Baseball website, posted a video of Lee Jung-hoo's home run on its official social media, stating, “The grandson of the wind hit a home run in the city of the wind.”
