Lee Jung-hoo, who swung a hot bat in his first game of the second half, failed to keep up the momentum. His team also lost 3-4.
The San Francisco Giants' Lee Jung-hoo went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, starting as the No. 6 hitter and right fielder in an away game against the Seattle Mariners in the 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) season, held at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, on the 18th. His season batting average dropped from .307 to .304 (103 hits in 339 at-bats). Lee had recorded three hits in the previous day's game.
With the score tied 0-0 and one out in the top of the second inning, Lee went down on a swinging strikeout against Seattle's starting right-hander Bryan Woo. He was beaten by a changeup that ran outside on a 2-2 count. Leading 1-0 with one out in the top of the fourth, Lee attacked a first-pitch slider but grounded out to second base.
Leading 2-0 with one out in the top of the sixth, Lee struck out swinging at Woo's low slider. In his final at-bat in the top of the eighth, with two outs and a runner on first, he hit an inside sinking fastball from right-handed reliever Eduardo Bazardo and grounded out to third base.
San Francisco, tied 3-3, gave up a walk-off sacrifice fly to Julio Rodriguez in the bottom of the 10th inning under the tiebreaker rule, losing 3-4 and ending its three-game winning streak.
