Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants) once again recorded a multi-base reach, leading his team to a decisive victory.

On the 7th (Korean time), Lee Jung-hoo started as the leadoff center fielder in the home game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, U.S., going 1-for-3 with one walk and one run scored in three at-bats.

Lee Jung-hoo's batting average remained at .315 after his five-game hitting streak, while his on-base percentage rose slightly from .346 to .347, and his slugging percentage dipped from .448 to .447. His OPS (on-base plus slugging) stayed at 0.794. In the National League, he maintained third place in batting average behind Miami's Auto Lopez (.346) and his teammate Luis Arraez (.325).

San Francisco took an early lead in the bottom of the first inning when Elliott Ramos hit a triple, followed by a single from Arraez to the center field. Lee Jung-hoo faced Toronto starter Kevin Gausman with two outs and a runner on first base. He targeted a splitter on the second pitch but made weak contact, sending the ball directly into the shortstop's glove.

He recorded his fourth hit of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning. After leadoff batter Rafah El Devers drew a walk, Lee Jung-hoo stepped up to the plate with a 0-2 count disadvantage. He fouled off three pitches before connecting on the fourth pitch—a 94.2 mph (151.6 km/h) four-seam fastball—driving it down the right-field line for a base hit.

Thanks to Lee Jung-hoo's hit, El Devers advanced to third base. A ground ball hit by Willie Adames toward the second baseman resulted in a double play, and Lee Jung-hoo was thrown out at second base. Meanwhile, El Devers scored, putting San Francisco ahead 2-0.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Victor Berriquito's hit, Eric Haase's sacrifice bunt, and Ramos' ground ball set up a situation where Arraez was intentionally walked automatically. Berriquito and Arraez successfully executed a double steal, allowing San Francisco to score their third run.

In the top of the sixth inning, San Francisco's Landon Ruff allowed Kazuma Okamoto's 20th solo home run of the season, but that was all Toronto could manage.

Following El Devers' walk in the bottom of the sixth, Lee Jung-hoo reached base via a fielder's choice. With Adames drawing a bases-loaded walk, San Francisco capitalized on Berriquito's two-run single and Ramos' three-run home run (his seventh) with two outs and runners on first and third, extending their lead to 8-1.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, with two outs and no runners on base, Lee Jung-hoo faced Tommy Nance. After a full-count battle involving six pitches, he held off an outside high curveball to draw a walk, completing his multi-base reach for the game.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, after Bryce Eldridge's hit, Ramos hit another home run with two outs, bringing San Francisco's total score to 10.

San Francisco improved their record to 38 wins and 52 losses, maintaining fourth place in the National League West Division. Toronto fell into a three-game losing streak, finishing at 42 wins and 49 losses, tying for third place in the American League East Division.
