San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo (27) remained silent with no hits for two consecutive days. The team also lost all three games, suffering a comeback defeat.

On the 29th (Korean time), Lee Jung-hoo started as the fourth batter and center fielder in the away game against the 2025 Major League Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan, recording no hits in four at-bats and one walk.

Lee Jung-hoo, who was silent with no hits in three at-bats against Detroit the previous day (28th), breaking a seven-game hitting streak, left without a hit again that day. His season batting average fell from .281 to .276 (59 hits in 214 at-bats). His OPS also dropped from .781 to .770.

In his first at-bat in the first inning with two outs and a runner on first base against Detroit's right-handed starter Jackson Jobe, Lee Jung-hoo was out on a pop-up to right field. After fouling off the fourth pitch, a high four-seam fastball on the inside at a 1-2 count, he hit a changeup that came in low over the middle on the fifth pitch, but it was caught by right fielder Justin-Henry Malloy.

In his second at-bat in the third inning with two outs and no runners, he hit a ground ball to second base. After fouling off Jobe's fifth pitch, a curveball on the inside at a 2-2 count, Lee Jung-hoo hit a four-seam fastball that came in at 95.1 mph (153.0 km) on a similar path, but was retired on a ground ball to second base.

His third at-bat in the fifth inning with one out and no runners was disappointing. He made solid contact with Jobe's first pitch, a high curveball at 78 mph (125.5 km), but it went straight to right fielder Malloy for a line drive out. The hit traveled 302 feet (92.0 m) at a speed of 96.2 mph (154.8 km).

In his fourth at-bat in the seventh inning with two outs and no runners, he drew a walk against left-handed Tyler Holton. With a 1-1 count, he walked to first base after all three pitches from the third to the fifth were out of the strike zone. The next batter, Matt Chapman, was out on a pop-up to center field, leaving Lee Jung-hoo stranded.

In his final at-bat in the ninth inning with two outs and no runners, he attempted to attack the first pitch but ended up grounding out to second base. He pulled the first changeup from right-hander Tommy Kahnle on the outside but could not get it past the infield, marking the final out of the game.

In the game, San Francisco lost to Detroit 3-4 in a comeback, resulting in a sweep. With three consecutive losses, San Francisco maintained a record of 31 wins and 25 losses (.554 winning percentage), placing them third in the National League (NL) West Division. Detroit, on a four-game winning streak, improved to 37 wins and 20 losses (.649 winning percentage), leading the American League (AL) Central Division.

In the second inning, San Francisco scored first with two doubles from Chapman and Lamont Wade Jr. They extended their lead in the fifth inning with Elliott Ramos' 10th home run of the season, a two-run shot.

However, the starting pitcher, Landon Lupe, who had held Detroit scoreless through four innings, faltered in the fifth after a fielding error by third baseman Chapman, allowing a hit and a walk to load the bases. He then gave up a two-run double to Colt Keith down the right-field line and was taken out of the game. The next pitcher, Randy Rodriguez, struck out two batters in succession but then surrendered a two-run single to Malloy, allowing the comeback.

Ramos had an impressive performance with three hits and two RBIs in five at-bats, including a home run, while Chapman also had three hits in four at-bats. However, they failed to penetrate the Detroit bullpen after the sixth inning. Lupe took his fourth loss of the season (against three wins), pitching four innings and allowing five hits, two walks, one hit batsman, seven strikeouts, and four runs (one earned).
