Lee Jung-hoo started the game against the San Diego Padres in the 2025 MLB regular season at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 6th (Korea time) as the third batter and center fielder and played 1 hit, 2 walks and 1 point in 2 at-bats.

He reported long hit from his first at bat. With runners on the first and second bases with one out in the bottom of the first inning, San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dylan Shees hit a 90-mile-per-hour slider at his second pitch. The ball that stretched to the right-center hit the deepest wall at Oracle Park and crossed the stands on a one-bound basis.

It turned out to be a recognized double, but it was a fairly good hit even if a triple was made. It was a big hit with a speed of 101.2 miles per hour (about 163 kilometers) and a flying distance of 404 feet (about 123 meters). If it weren't for Oracle Park, it would have been a home run in all MLB stadiums. However, he failed to score a point due to his failed follow-up hit.

At the bottom of the third inning, he took the batter's box again with one out and runners on the first base. After a calm game, he garnered a walk after seven pitches. He completed a multi-base hit game after just two at-bats. This time, his teammates also gave a boost. Dominic Smith's double homered to score a tie.

Lee took the batter's box again in the bottom of the fifth inning with one out and no runners on. He targeted the fastball at the first pitch and hit the ball well, but it became a fly ball heading straight to the right field.

He entered the batter's box for the fourth time in the bottom of the seventh inning with no runners on with two outs. This time, he faced David Morgan, a new pitcher. After a full count match, he drew a walk after six pitches to complete the game. Matt Chapman struck out and there was no additional base.

Lee displayed nutritious performance on the day. By starting long balls, Lee displayed on-base plus defense capability. He also scored an equalizer. He elevated his batting average and OPS to 0.276 0.765, respectively for this season.

It was an encouraging achievement. After a beautiful March-April period, Lee suffered a downward trend since May. His batting average of over 300 and OPS of over 0.9 disappeared like a snow meltdown. Then, on Sunday (May 5), he had two doubles and a sacrifice fly in the game against the San Diego Padres, changing the mood.

Some said they were just lucky because all the missed balls fell on a good course and became "lucky hits." However, he seemed to have gained confidence thanks to his multi-hit performance, and he showed good performance in both batting and pioneering eyes today. He has a foothold to gain momentum again.

Meanwhile, San Francisco ended the game with a 3-2 victory. San Francisco, which earned its 35th win (28 losses) this season after winning two consecutive games, trailed San Diego, which had 35 wins and 26 losses, by one game.

San Francisco first got its chance with a walk by Elliott Ramos and a big double by Lee Jung-hoo in the bottom of the first inning. Matt Chapman and Willy Adames, however, struck out in succession to lose their chance.

In the top of the second inning, on the other hand, San Diego had a hit by Jose Iglesias and a walk by Jake Cronenworth after two outs. However, San Francisco's starting pitcher Robbie Ray got over the crisis by catching Brandon Lacrizzi with a fly ball to the right field.

The ball was out of balance in the top of the third inning. Two outs later, Luis Aras got on base with a lucky infield hit. Manny Machado then hit a 391-foot two-run homer (No. 8), which flew over the left-center fence. It was Machado's 350th career home run.

The game was immediately overturned at the end of the third inning. After one out, Elliott Ramos and Lee Jung-hoo walked one after another, and Chapman's hit loaded the bases. Willy Adames, who had a bad batting sense, hit a sacrifice fly to right field to bring in Ramos.

In Smith's subsequent at-bat, Chapman stole second base. After leading 0-2 to 3-2 to the full count, Smith hit seven pitches and scored a two-run come-from-behind double. San Francisco took the lead.

Since then, pitchers have continued to fight for a while. Ray allowed no runs in the sixth inning. In the seventh inning, Iglesias hit a long ball to the fence with one out, but left fielder Gerard Encarnacion caught Iglesias by accurate second-base throw. As a result, he pitched well without allowing any runs through the seventh inning.

Seeds was also shaky in the third inning, but allowed no run in the fourth and fifth innings to block a run as much as possible and send a baton to the bullpen. Morgan also pitched well without allowing a run until the seventh inning.

San Diego had a chance to tie the game with runners on second and one out against Randy Rodriguez, a changed pitcher in the top of the eighth inning. However, Lee Jung-hoo managed to catch Fernando Tatis Jr.'s big hit towards the center field. There was even a "bat flip," but Lee's judgment was good. Rodriguez then struck out Tyler Wade to avoid the crisis.

In the top of the ninth inning, San Diego had consecutive hits against San Francisco closer Camilo Doval to create a chance with runners on first and second bases with one out. However, Doval grounded out and struck out Iglesias and Jake Cronenworth to end the game with a 3-2 victory.

Ray pitched seven innings of 101, four hits (one homer), one walk, nine strikeouts, and two runs, securing his eighth win (one loss) in this season. He proved why he was named the National League's Pitcher of the Month last month. Rodriguez earned his seventh hold of the season, and Doval his eighth save of the season and his 100th career save.
