The San Francisco Giants' lineup truly exploded. San Francisco won decisively 14-5 in an extra inning game held at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois, on the 7th (Korea time), showcasing its powerful offense by scoring 9 runs in the 11th inning.

The San Francisco bats truly came alive in the top of the 11th inning, tied at 5-5. San Francisco regained momentum with a double by Elliott Ramos and a single by Patrick Bailey to make it 6-5, and added another run on a fielder's choice by Brett Wisely. Mike Yastrzemski drew a walk to load the bases. Willy Adames was hit by a pitch, allowing base runner Patrick Bailey to score. Soon after, Lee Jung-hoo, Matt Chapman, and Wilmer Flores hit consecutive clutch singles.

Christian Coss struck out swinging, but Elliott Ramos' double and Patrick Bailey's sacrifice fly added 2 more runs. David Villa struck out to end the long top of the 11th inning. Closer Ryan Pressly, with 116 career saves, became the scapegoat, allowing 9 runs to the hot San Francisco lineup.

The U.S. sports media outlet Sports Illustrated noted, "San Francisco's 9 runs in the 11th inning is a new record for the most runs scored in an extra inning since the club's founding in 1883." Lee Jung-hoo, who played as the number 3 center fielder, hit his 4th home run of the season, achieving 3 hits, 3 RBIs, and 2 runs in 6 at-bats. His batting average rose from .330 to .312.

The outlet said, "Lee Jung-hoo hit a 2-run home run that day and is currently recording a batting average of .312 with an OPS of .871. He is making his presence felt in the heart of the lineup." It added, "Considering the potential for rebounds from Willy Adames (.222) and Matt Chapman (.225), who have not yet found their hitting rhythm, there is ample room for improvement in the San Francisco lineup."

Meanwhile, Around the Foghorn, which primarily reports on San Francisco, attributed special significance to the day's victory. The outlet said, "It was a symbolic game that showcased San Francisco's strong determination. The closure pitcher almost faltered again with a blown save, yet the team did not give up," praising the players' resolve for victory.

It added, "This victory means a lot. This season, we repeatedly confirm that San Francisco is a team that does not easily give up. No matter how strange and chaotic the game may be, they always fight until the end."
