San Francisco Giants' Lee Jeong-hoo reported a hit after three games. He also successfully completed his first stolen base of May.
On the 31st, Lee Jeong-hoo started as the third center fielder in the game against the Miami Marlins at Londepo Park in Miami, Florida, United States, and reported a hit with an infield single after three games.
Lee Jeong-hoo returned to the batting order at third after three games. The San Francisco lineup consisted of Mike Yastrzemski (right fielder), Heliot Ramos (left fielder), Lee Jeong-hoo (center fielder), Wilmer Flores (designated hitter), Matt Chapman (third baseman), Willy Adames (shortstop), Patrick Bailey (catcher), Casey Schmidt (first baseman), and Tyler Fitzgerald (second baseman).
The Miami starting pitcher Lee Jeong-hoo faced was Cal Quantrill. He had recorded a season record of 3 wins and 4 losses in 10 games with an earned run average of 6.09.
In the first inning, Lee Jeong-hoo had a scoring opportunity. With Heliot Ramos' triple, there was one out and a runner on third base. He persisted in battling Quantrill's outside pitches. However, on the seventh pitch of a full count, he swung and missed at a 94.8 mph sinker outside and went down.
In the top of the third inning, during his second at-bat, he missed a pitch right down the middle. Lee Jeong-hoo faced the plate with one out and no runners on base. He hit an 89.5 mph cutter that came down the middle on the second pitch of a ball count, but it was too high and resulted in a fly out to center field.
In the top of the fifth inning, with one out and no runners on base, he came up to bat for the third time. This time he targeted the fast count again. On the second pitch after a ball, he swung at an 85.4 mph splitter that dropped. The ball rolled slowly towards the pitcher and third baseman. However, pitcher Quantrill couldn't handle the hit properly, allowing Lee Jeong-hoo to step on first base. He reported a hit with an infield single after three games.
Additionally, with two outs and a runner on first, he executed a stolen base during Matt Chapman's at-bat, marking his fourth stolen base of the season. This was the first stolen base success in 55 days since the game against the Seattle Mariners on April 6.
