San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo's offensive silence is growing longer.
Lee started as the No. 5 hitter and right fielder in the home game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on Tuesday but went 0-for-4 with one strikeout. The Giants won 5-0.
In Monday's game against Philadelphia, Lee entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and recorded one RBI while going 0-for-1 in two plate appearances. He returned to the starting lineup Tuesday but failed to get a hit. Lee's April batting average stands at .083 (2-for-24). His season average is just .143 (6-for-42). Since going hitless in three at-bats against the San Diego Padres on the first day of April, Lee has struggled with 1-for-12 in a four-game series against the New York Mets and 1-for-9 in the three-game series against Philadelphia.
San Francisco, which has now won two consecutive games without allowing a run, will begin a three-game road series against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday.
Los Angeles Dodgers' Kim Hye-seong (27) sat out the road game against the Toronto Blue Jays. His season statistics show a .429 batting average (3-for-7).
