San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo returned to the starting lineup as the leadoff hitter after 3 games.
San Francisco revealed its starting lineup for the away game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, on Nov. 11 (Korea time). Lee Jung-hoo will start as the leadoff center fielder.
Lee Jung-hoo was absent from the starting lineup in both games against the Atlanta Braves on 8th and 9th. According to manager Bob Melvin, he felt tightness in his back. He appeared as a pinch hitter on the 8th but did not swing once and was dismissed after a Samjin. He completely missed the game on the 9th.
However, by returning to the starting lineup after 3 games, he indicated that there is no major issue. This will be his first leadoff appearance this season. Lee Jung-hoo, who primarily batted in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th spots, will return to the leadoff position he mostly occupied last year. San Francisco's starting lineup consists of Lee Jung-hoo (center fielder), Willy Adames (shortstop), Heliot Ramos (left fielder), Wilmer Flores (designated hitter), Gerardo Encarnacion (right fielder), Dominic Smith (first baseman), Casey Schmidt (third baseman), Patrick Bailey (catcher), and Tyler Fitzgerald (second baseman).
The starting pitcher will be Kyle Harrison. He has recorded 1 win and 1 loss in 7 games this season, with an earned run average of 4.34 (9 earned runs in 18⅔ innings).
The Colorado Rockies will start left-hander Carson Palmquist. He has made 4 appearances this season without a win, losing 4 games with an earned run average of 8.50 (17 earned runs in 18 innings).
Colorado's starting lineup includes Jordan Beck (left fielder), Kyle Farmer (designated hitter), Hunter Goodman (catcher), Tyro Estrada (second baseman), Ryan McMahon (third baseman), Brenton Doyle (center fielder), Keston Hiura (first baseman), Ryan Ritter (shortstop), and Tyler Freeman (right fielder).
San Francisco is on a 5-game winning streak and is aiming for a 6th straight win. Colorado is the weakest team in Major League Baseball this season, with a record of 12 wins and 53 losses, resulting in a winning percentage of .185. They are currently on a 3-game losing streak.
