San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee went hitless at the plate and committed a costly error in the field.
Starting as the fifth-hitter and right fielder in an away game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in Massachusetts on the 22nd (Korean time), Lee recorded no hits in three at-bats with one walk.
His hitting streak, which began with the Colorado Rockies game on the 16th, was halted at four games.
His season batting average dropped from 0.293 to 0.291.
Leading off the top of the second inning in a scoreless game, Lee flied out to left field. In the top of the third with two outs and runners on first and second with the Giants leading 1-0, he earned a walk after a full-count battle to load the bases.
However, the subsequent batters failed to deliver, preventing him from scoring.
Lee did not reach base for the remainder of the game.
He was retired on a popup to third base in the top of the fifth with the Giants trailing 5-4, and grounded out to first base in the top of the eighth as the deficit widened to 6-4.
Lee, who has experienced a frequent number of defensive mistakes this season, made another error-prone play in this matchup.
With two outs and a runner on first in the bottom of the sixth while trailing 5-4, he failed to handle a routine fly ball hit by Wilyer Abreu, letting it get past him.
His delayed read on the ball prevented him from making the catch, allowing the runner on first to score while batter-runner Abreu safely reached third.
While officially scored as a triple, it was a disappointing play.
The Giants fell 6-4 as starting pitcher Logan Webb struggled, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over 2⅔ innings.
Atlanta Braves infielder Ha-Seong Kim did not play in the away game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
