Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants) launched his second home run of the season, his first in 14 days since April 11.

Lee started as the No. 6 hitter and right fielder in the home game against the Miami Marlins at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on Saturday (Korea time), part of the 2026 MLB regular season. With his team trailing 3-9 in the bottom of the eighth inning, he sent a solo shot soaring over the right-field wall.

The home run was his first in 14 days, since his season-opening homer in an away game against the Baltimore Orioles on April 11.

Lee also hit a center-field single in the second inning and an infield single to the shortstop in the sixth, recording his third three-hit game of the season. His season batting average rose to .275. San Francisco was trailing 4-9 heading into the ninth inning, facing a likely defeat.
