Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants hit his fifth home run of the season, his first in a week.

Lee started as the number five hitter and right fielder in a home game against the Athletics in the 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on Wednesday (June 24), recording two hits in three at-bats (including one home run), one run, one RBI, one walk, and one stolen base.

With this, Lee increased both his home run and stolen base totals to five for the season.

He also recorded his 27th multi-hit game of the season.

His batting average for the season rose from .327 to .331 (88 hits in 266 at-bats), maintaining his position as second in the league in batting average.

The league's leading hitter, Otto Lopez of the Miami Marlins, recorded a multi-hit game on the same day, raising his season batting average to .337 (105 hits in 312 at-bats).

Lee showed off his power right from his first at-bat.

With one out in the bottom of the second inning, he took the second pitch—a 142 km/h (88 mph) cutter from opposing starter Aaron Civale that drifted over the middle of the plate—and drove it over the right-center field wall.

The solo shot, which traveled 126 meters (413 feet), was his fifth home run of the season and served as both the opening run and the game-winner for his team.

After hitting the home run, Lee returned to the dugout, clapped toward the camera, and shouted "Daehanminguk" (Republic of Korea) to show his support for the South Korean national football team, which will play its final Group A match against South Africa on June 25.

With the team leading 2-1 with one out in the bottom of the fourth, he used his speed to manufacture an infield hit.

Facing Civale again, with a 2-2 count, he hit the sixth pitch—a 122 km/h (76 mph) high-and-outside curveball—for an infield hit to the shortstop to get on base. In the bottom of the sixth, leading off the inning, he drew a walk against the opponent's second pitcher, Matt Krook, and then successfully stole second base.

It was his fifth stolen base of the season.

However, he was unable to score as subsequent batters failed to bring him home.

With a 3-1 lead and runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the seventh, he grounded out to the first baseman.

San Francisco won 3-1, snapping a three-game losing streak.

With a record of 32 wins and 46 losses (.410 winning percentage), they remained in fourth place in the National League (NL) West.

Song Sung-mun of the San Diego Padres started as the number nine hitter and second baseman in a home game against the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park in San Diego, California, recording one hit in three at-bats, one run, one RBI, one walk, and one stolen base.

Song, who successfully stole a base for the second consecutive day following the previous day, increased his season stolen base total to six.

His season batting average rose to .208 (11 hits in 53 at-bats).

With the team trailing 1-4 with runners on first and second and one out in the bottom of the second, Song hit the fifth pitch—a low 143 km/h (89 mph) changeup from opposing starter JR Ritchie—to left field for an RBI single.

With runners on second and third and one out, he crossed home plate following an infield hit by Samad Taylor and a subsequent throwing error by the opposing shortstop.

With one out in the bottom of the fourth, he drew a walk and immediately stole second base.

He popped out to the first baseman in the bottom of the sixth and flied out to the left fielder in the bottom of the ninth.

Atlanta's Kim Ha-seong entered as a pinch runner during the tiebreaker in the top of the 10th inning, but did not get an at-bat.

San Diego won 7-6 in the bottom of the 10th inning on a walk-off single to center field by Manny Machado.

With a record of 41 wins and 37 losses (.526 winning percentage), they remained in second place in the NL West.

Atlanta, which fell into a three-game losing streak, maintained its lead in the NL East with a record of 48 wins and 30 losses (.615 winning percentage).
