Lee Jung-hoo's Six-Game Hitting Streak Ends, Goes Hitless in Three At-Bats Against Detroit

Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants has seen his consecutive-game hitting streak come to an end.

Playing as the number two hitter and right fielder in a Major League Baseball (MLB) home game against the Detroit Tigers at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, today (August 9), Lee went hitless with three at-bats.

His season batting average dipped to 0.301.

After grounding out to shortstop in both the first and fourth innings, Lee wrapped up his outing with a groundout to second base in the seventh.

Lee was replaced by a defensive substitute in the top of the ninth inning after the game had already been decided.

Stifled by the Detroit pitching staff with just two hits total, San Francisco suffered a 8-0 shutout loss, surrendering six runs in the seventh inning alone.

Meanwhile, San Diego Padres' South Korean infielder Song Sung-moon remained on the bench during the home game against the Houston Astros.

San Diego won the game 3-2.
