The 'Son of the Wind,' Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants), has awakened his bat.
Lee Jung-hoo started as the No. 1 center fielder in the away game against the 2025 Major League LA Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on the 16th (Korean time) and reported a hit in his third at-bat.
Lee Jung-hoo faced a golden opportunity with two outs and runners on first and second in the top of the fourth, trailing 1-2. After establishing a favorable count of 2B-1S against Dodgers starter Dustin May, he targeted a 94.5 mph (152 km/h) fast sinker that was left over the middle during the fourth pitch, hitting a two-RBI triple that escaped down the right field line. This was his hit after three games since the match against the Colorado Rockies on the 13th and marked his fifth triple of the season after four games since the match against Colorado on the 12th.
Lee Jung-hoo ended the inning on third base as the next batter, Willy Adames, flew out to center field.
Thanks to Lee Jung-hoo's precious timely hit, San Francisco flipped the score to 3-2. Dodgers player Kim Hye-sung, who was excluded from the starting lineup, watched Lee Jung-hoo's go-ahead hit from the bench.
