Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants) returned to the starting lineup after one game, but he couldn't laugh.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the fifth batter and right fielder in the 2026 Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season home game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 9th (Korea time) and recorded no hits in 4 at-bats.

On the previous day (8th), Lee Jung-hoo was excluded from the starting lineup for the first time in the season due to a left-handed starting pitcher. On this day, right-hander Aaron Nola returned to the starting lineup, but it only disappointed him.

There was hardly any outstretched ball. In the bottom of the second inning, Lee Jung-hoo touched Nola's change-up coming into the middle of the first at-bat with one out and grounded out to second base. In the bottom of the fourth inning, he hit a fastball in the middle of Nola and retired with a fly ball to center field. He also remained silent in the sixth inning when the big inning came out. Lee Jung-hoo, who entered the batter's box after Rafael Devers' three-run, touched a low-fall changeup and was grounded out to second base.

Left-hander Jose Alvarado's at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning was encouraging. He was caught in a disadvantageous ball count as 1B2S, but he made a full count after clearing the cutter that fell low outside and enduring the ball that was out. However, he struck out on the cutter in the eighth pitch, which came in high.

It is already the ninth hitless game this season. As a result, Lee Jung-hoo's batting average for the season fell from 0.158 to 0.143, and OPS (on-base plus slugging) was only 0.438.

Meanwhile, San Francisco won 6-0 over Philadelphia. Starting pitcher Tyler Marley set the stage for victory with three hits, four walks, and six strikeouts in five ⅔ innings. In the batting lineup, Willy Adames scored 2 hits and 2 points in 4 at-bats, Luis Arraez scored 2 hits and 1 walk in 2 at-bats, and Devers played 2 hits in 4 at-bats (one home run) with 4 RBIs, 1 run and 1 strikeout.

The result was in the bottom of the sixth inning. With one out, Adames doubled to right field, Araez walked to get on base, and Devers hit a mid-wall three-run. At the bottom of the eighth inning, Adames walked to get on base and created an opportunity. In the process of dealing with Araez's sacrifice bunt, Adames homered with the pitcher's bad pitch. Arraez, who went to second base like that, came home when Devers hit a timely RBI.

Philadelphia's starter Nola pitched well with five hits (one homer) and one walk, three strikeouts and three runs in six innings, but the batters couldn't help. San Francisco, which won two consecutive games after four consecutive losses, remained at the bottom of the National League West (5th place) with five wins and eight losses. Philadelphia, which has lost two consecutive games, fell to fourth place in the National League East with six wins and six losses.
