Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants) fell silent with his first hitless game of August, while his team, the San Francisco Giants, suffered a lifeless defeat as their bullpen collapsed.

On the 9th (Korea time), Lee Jung-hoo started at second in the batting order and played right field in the home game against the Detroit Tigers held at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, USA, but managed only three at-bats with no hits. Lee Jung-hoo's season batting average dropped slightly from 0.303 to 0.301.

In the bottom of the first inning, Lee Jung-hoo was out on a ground ball to the shortstop in his first at-bat of the day. He came up again as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fourth and was out once more on a ground ball to the shortstop. In the bottom of the seventh, with San Francisco trailing 0-7 by a large margin, Lee Jung-hoo, batting leadoff, was out on a ground ball to the second baseman.

Today's game unfolded as a tight pitching duel. With strong performances from San Francisco starter Landon Leif and Detroit starter Jackson Jobe, the score remained 0-0 through five innings.

The 0-0 deadlock was broken starting in the top of the sixth. The effective Leif surrendered three walks, putting himself in a bases-loaded, one-out crisis before being replaced. Relief pitcher Keaton Winn allowed a walk-off walk to give up the first run but successfully navigated the bases-loaded situation without further runs. However, the San Francisco bullpen collapsed in the top of the seventh. They allowed seven hits, both long and short, in just one inning and gave up six runs. The flow of the game was completely lost.

The San Francisco lineup was also extremely sluggish today. After Adames' single to left field in the fourth inning, no runner reached base until Edis Leonard's hit in the eighth inning.

Lee Jung-hoo was replaced by Grand McCray before the top of the ninth inning and left the game. San Francisco allowed additional runs in the ninth as well and ultimately ended the game with a 0-8 defeat without scoring any runs.

Detroit starter Jobe laid the foundation for victory today, pitching five innings with one hit allowed, one walk, four strikeouts, and no earned runs. On the other hand, San Francisco starter Leif pitched well over 5⅓ innings, allowing two hits, five walks, three strikeouts, and one run, but failed to receive support from his lineup and bullpen, resulting in a loss for him.
