Lee Jung-hoo Logs 1 Hit in 2 At-Bats as Pinch Hitter... Batting Average Rises to .277

Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants in Major League Baseball came off the bench as a pinch hitter and added another hit.

Playing in an away game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in Missouri, USA, Lee recorded one hit in two at-bats.

Left out of the starting lineup, Lee stepped up as a pinch hitter with one out and runners on second and third in the top of the seventh inning while trailing 2–1, but he flied out to right field and failed to capitalize on the scoring opportunity.

In the top of the ninth, he hit a single to right field with one out, but subsequent hits failed to follow.

Lee's season batting average inched up to .277 (144 hits in 520 at-bats), and San Francisco fell into a four-game losing streak after a 2–1 defeat.

St. Louis' Korean-American pitcher Riley O'Brien pitched a scoreless top of the ninth inning to secure his 37th save of the season.
