San Francisco’s Lee Jung-hoo delivers another multihit game
Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants continued his torrid start to the season on Friday (U.S. time), notching his eighth multihit game.
Lee went 2-for-3 with a walk in the away game against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, extending his hitting streak to four games.
Impressively, he has recorded at least two hits in each of the three games he has started during that span.
The South Korean star has been a revelation at the plate early in his major league career.
With 26 hits in 72 at-bats, Lee is now batting .361, the second-best average in the National League. He also ranks among the league leaders in multiple categories, placing fourth in hits, second in slugging percentage (.653), seventh in on-base percentage (.420), and second in OPS (1.073).
Despite Lee’s strong showing, the Giants managed just four hits and were shut out 2-0 by the Angels, continuing their early season struggles.
