Jung Hoo Lee Goes Hitless in 3 At-Bats Against San Diego... Batting Average Drops to .300

Jung Hoo Lee of the San Francisco Giants in Major League Baseball (MLB) saw his four-game hitting streak come to an end.

Starting as the fifth batter and right fielder in an away game against the San Diego Padres of the 2026 MLB regular season held at Petco Park in San Diego, California, Lee went hitless in 3 at-bats.

Lee's season batting average dropped to .300, barely clinging to the 300 mark.

On this day, the San Francisco lineup was completely shut out by San Diego, which operated its mound as a "bullpen day," managing just 2 hits and 1 walk with no runs.

San Diego starting pitcher Gleber Rodriguez pitched 1 scoreless inning, while Yuki Matsui kept San Francisco in check from the 2nd to the 4th inning with 3 innings, 1 hit allowed, and no runs.

From the 5th through the 9th inning, starting pitcher German Marquez neutralized the San Francisco lineup with 5 innings, 1 hit allowed, 1 walk, and no runs.

Lee, who was retired on a popup to the shortstop in his first at-bat in the 2nd inning, hit a ball that looked destined for a hit in the 5th, but was robbed by a fine defensive play from opposing second baseman Luis Rengifo.

In his final at-bat with one out and a runner on first in the 7th inning, he grounded out to the shortstop.

San Francisco suffered a 7-0 shutout defeat against San Diego.

Meanwhile, San Diego's Song Sung-mun did not play.
