'The Son of the Wind' Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) aims for a batting rebound for the second consecutive game at No. 2.
The San Francisco Giants are set to face the San Diego Padres in the second game of a four-game home series on the 4th at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, according to Korean time.
San Francisco has established a starting lineup against San Diego's rookie starter Ryan Bergert consisting of Heliot Ramos (left fielder), Lee Jung-hoo (center fielder), Wilmer Flores (designated hitter), Matt Chapman (third baseman), Willy Adames (shortstop), Gerardo Encarnacion (right fielder), Tyler Fitzgerald (second baseman), Patrick Bailey (catcher), and Casey Schmidt (first baseman). The starting pitcher is Rendon Loop.
Following a 0-1 loss the previous day, Lee Jung-hoo performs his table-setting duties at No. 2 for the second consecutive game. Lee's season record stands at a batting average of .275 with 6 home runs, 31 RBIs, 32 runs scored, and 6 stolen bases from 59 games, while recording 1 hit and 1 stolen base the previous day. His recent batting averages are .231 over the last 7 games and .232 over the last 15 games, showing a drop in momentum. It will be interesting to see if he can find an opportunity to rebound against a rookie.
