San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo (26) has shown his prowess with a 'multi-hit' game (two or more hits in a game) after about a month.
On the 3rd (Korean time), San Francisco won 6-5 in a road game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, after a thrilling extra-inning match in the 2025 Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season.
Lee Jung-hoo, who started as the fifth hitter and center fielder, recorded 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 run batted in, and scored 2 runs.
Lee Jung-hoo's batting average rose from 0.240 to 0.246 (77 hits in 313 at-bats) after not participating in the previous day's game against Arizona.
Lee Jung-hoo, who had been stuck at 0 hits in 15 at-bats over the last 4 games, got a hit for the first time in 5 games since the game against the Miami Marlins on June 27, where he went 1 for 4. The multi-hit also occurred nearly a month after the game against the San Diego Padres on June 5, where he had 2 hits in 3 at-bats.
With the team leading 1-0, Lee Jung-hoo stepped up to the plate with two outs and a runner on first base in the first inning. He hit a 1-RBI triple off Arizona starter Merrill Kelly's first pitch, a 148 km/h fastball, which hit the right-center fence.
In the fourth inning, with the team ahead 2-0, Lee Jung-hoo hit a double in his second at-bat.
Leading off, Lee Jung-hoo made a double on Kelly's sixth pitch, a changeup, to the right side. However, a subsequent hit did not follow, so it did not lead to a score.
Lee Jung-hoo, who was caught on a fly ball to right in the sixth inning, completed a 3-hit game with an infield hit in the eighth inning, when the team was trailing 3-2 with one out and no runners on base.
After reaching second base on a walk by Luis Matos, Lee Jung-hoo stepped on home plate following Patrick Bailey's hit.
In his last at-bat in the ninth inning, he was caught on a fly ball to the outfield.
San Francisco, leading 5-3, allowed 2 runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, sending the game into extra innings. In the top of the 10th inning of the tiebreaker, Lee Jung-hoo started as a runner on second, advanced to third on Ramos's infield hit, and scored the decisive run on Bailey's sacrifice fly, leading the team to victory.
Escaping a five-game losing streak, San Francisco recorded 46 wins and 41 losses, maintaining third place in the National League West. They are 0.5 games behind the second-place San Diego Padres (46 wins and 40 losses).
San Francisco will play the final game of the three-game series against Arizona on the 4th.
