Lee Jeong-hoo (26) of the San Francisco Giants continued his streak of hitting in 11 consecutive games by hitting two extra-base hits, including his first home run in his home game debut. This is the first time Lee Jung-hoo has hit two extra-base hits in one game since entering the major leagues.

Jeong-hoo Lee played as the first hitter and center fielder in the 2024 Major League Baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks held at Oracle Park on the 21st (Korean time) and recorded 2 hits in 5 at-bats, including a home run, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs.

Jeong-hoo Lee, who hit in 11 consecutive games on this day, had a batting average of 0.289 (24 hits in 83 at-bats), 2 home runs, 7 RBIs, 11 runs, and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.728.

Lee Jeong-hoo’s home run came from his first at-bat in the first inning. Lee Jeong-hoo took on the leadoff hitter in the first inning when the team was down 0-1, and against Arizona starter Jack Gallen, he hit a fastball outside the first pitch, then hit a 92.8 mile per hour (approximately 149 km) four-seam fastball coming into the high course in the middle of the second pitch and over the right fence. .

Lee Jeong-hoo’s home run had a distance of 364 feet (about 111 m) and an exit speed of 98.4 miles (about 158 ​​km). This home run is Lee Jung-hoo’s first home run as a leading hitter in the major leagues three weeks after the game against the San Diego Padres on the 31st of last month. It is also the first home run hit at Oracle Park, the home stadium.

After Lee Jeong-hoo’s home run, San Francisco succeeded in turning the tables. Second batter Lamont Wade reached base on a single to left, advanced to second base due to the pitcher’s wild pitch, and advanced to third base when Jorge Solaire hit.

Michael Confoto then retired with a fly ball to third base, but Wilmer Flores brought a runner to third base with a sacrifice fly to center field, and San Francisco succeeded in coming back 2-1.

Lee Jeong-hoo retired with a grounder to second base in his second at-bat in the second inning and a straight hit to center field in the fourth inning when the score was tied 3-3.

In the 6th inning, when the team regained the lead at 5-3, he hit a ground ball to second base in his fourth at-bat with one out and one on first base, leaving a mark of disappointment. However, Lee Jeong-hoo survived at first base with his quick feet and avoided a double play.

Lee Jeong-hoo achieved a multi-hit game by hitting a double and adding an extra-base hit in his last at-bat in the 8th inning.

With the team leading 6-3, one out, and two on second, Jeong-hoo Lee continued his tenacious game by hitting four fouls in a row against opposing bullpen Bryce Jarvis, and on the ninth pitch, he pushed an outside changeup and hit a double that missed the side of the third baseman. It was the third double of the season and the second RBI of the day.

Afterwards, Lee Jeong-hoo, who advanced to third base when Matt Chapman hit an infield hit, came home when Cornporter hit a timely hit and added a run, giving the team a 7-3 lead.

Meanwhile, in addition to Lee Jeong-hoo’s performance, San Francisco won 7-3 over Arizona with Patrick Bailey hitting a two-run home run in the fifth inning when the game was tied at 3-3.

San Francisco starting pitcher Kyle Harrison came off the mound with the score tied 3-3 after allowing 6 hits and 3 runs in 4 innings, failing to secure the victory. The winning pitcher was Ryan Walker, who took the mound in the 5th inning and pitched 1 inning with 2 strikeouts and no runs.

San Francisco recorded 6 wins and 4 losses in the last 10 games, tied with Arizona for third place in the National League (NL) West Division (10 wins, 12 losses).
