Lee Jung‑hoon endures hitless streak before delivering dramatic three‑run hit for Giants

Korean outfielder Lee Jung‑hoon went hitless in two straight games at Oracle Park in San Francisco. On June 28 he recorded four at‑bats without a hit and two strikeouts against the Atlanta Braves, lowering his season average to .323. Teammate Kim Ha‑sung also finished the game without a hit, dropping his average to .070.

Two days earlier, Lee had sparked a comeback for the Giants against the Oakland Athletics with a three‑run triple that cleared the bases in the sixth inning, followed by a teammate’s home run that secured a 6‑1 lead. Despite the later innings rally, the Giants eventually fell 9‑6. Fans praised Lee’s effort, noting his strong June batting average of .400 and his role in lifting spirits amid disappointment with the Korean soccer team’s World Cup qualifying performance.
