Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants), who was suffering from severe batting slump, finally broke his silence and hit a timely hit like a thousand gold to announce his revival.

Lee Jung-hoo started as sixth batter right fielder in an away game against the San Diego Padres in 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 1st (Korea time) and scored a two-run timely double in the top of the first inning with two outs and runners on the second and third bases leading 1-0.

Lee Jung-hoo, who recently suffered from a batting average (0.077) and a severe hitting slump, showed his concentration at a time when his team had a chance from the beginning of the game. Lee Jung-hoo, who sent a sharp line drive to right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. against San Diego starter Hermann Marquez, brought home both Elliott Ramos and Matt Chapman, who were on the base. The batting speed was 98.8 miles (about 159 kilometers).

It was Lee Jung-hoo's second double of the season. He added a double three days after the home game against the New York Yankees on March 29 to shake off his heartache. Above all, it was a more valuable performance because it was a troubleshooter instinct that erupted at a time when the team's lineup was generally stagnant.

Amid Lee Jung-hoo's supportive shooting, starting pitcher Logan Webb also gained strength. Webb, who is seeking his first win of the season after overcoming the shock of six runs between the last Yankees and the opening game, will be able to face the San Diego batters with the lead presented by Lee Jung-hoo on his back.
