Lee Jung-hoo Records Multi-Hit Game and Stellar Defense, Ending Hitless Streak

Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants has resumed his hitting streak after three games.

Playing as the starting right fielder and batting seventh in a home game against the Chicago Cubs at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on June 15 (KST), Lee went 2-for-4 with one run scored.

Breaking a two-day, 7-at-bat hitless slump with a multi-hit performance, Lee raised his season batting average to .331.

His batting average currently ranks second in all of Major League Baseball, trailing only Otto Lopez (.343) of the Miami Marlins.

This marks Lee's 24th multi-hit game of the season, coming four days after his 2-for-4 performance against the Washington Nationals on June 11.

Lee hit a single to left field in his first at-bat in the third inning and followed up with an infield single toward third base in the fifth.

Lee scored a run following Drew Gilbert's double in the fifth inning.

San Francisco seized the momentum by scoring three runs, highlighted by a two-run homer from Matt Chapman shortly after.

Lee concluded his day at the plate with a line drive to center field and a line drive to left field.

In the top of the eighth inning, Lee drew applause for a stellar defensive play, sprinting toward the line to catch a blistering line drive from Michael Busch while colliding with the fence.

San Francisco won the game 5-1.

Kim Ha-seong (Atlanta Braves) and Song Sung-mun (San Diego Padres) did not play in their respective games against the New York Mets and the Baltimore Orioles.

Atlanta lost 1-8, while San Diego won 5-2.
