Outfielder Lee Jung-hoo, known as the 'Son of the Wind,' who is active with the San Francisco Giants, achieved his season's first multi-hit game for two consecutive days, contributing to the team's victory.
Lee Jung-hoo entered his third at-bat with 2 outs and a runner at second base in the 6th inning after striking out swinging in the 1st inning and being thrown out on a line drive to the first baseman in the 4th inning. He capitalized on the third pitch against starting pitcher Nick Martinez with a count of 1 ball and 1 strike, connecting for a double to left field. The runner on second, Tyler Fitzgerald, raced home.
Soon after, Lee Jung-hoo succeeded in scoring with Matt Chapman’s two-run homer to left field. Thus, Lee produced hits and runs for two consecutive days since the game against Cincinnati on the 30th (1 hit in 4 at-bats and 1 run batted in).
Lee Jung-hoo stepped up to his fourth at-bat with 2 outs and no runners on in the 8th inning. He made an infield hit against left-hander Taylor Rogers, achieving his season's first multi-hit game. Following a walk by Matt Chapman, he crossed home plate on a timely hit by Elliott Ramos.

Cincinnati, trying to rally, managed to close the gap to 1 run with back-to-back homers by Austin Winst and Matt McLain in the bottom of the 6th.
Then, in the 8th inning, with San Francisco leading 4-3, Willy Adames' sacrifice fly to center field and a timely hit by Elliott Ramos added 2 more runs, sealing the victory.
