Lee Jung-hoo 25, San Francisco Giants continued his five-game hitting streak in the Major League Baseball MLB.

Lee Jung-hoo started as the first batter in the center field against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, on the 14th, and played with one hit and one run in five times at bat.

It has been five consecutive games since the game against the Washington Nationals on last Wednesday. However, his batting average for this season has dropped slightly from .25 to .246 14 hits in 57 times at bat.

Lee Jung-hoo grounded out to shortstop in his first at-bat in the first inning against opposing starter Ryan Pepiot and struck out swinging in his second at-bat in the third inning.

However, he did not back down easily in the third at-bat in the fifth inning with a 2-1 lead.

With two outs and no runners, he swung Tampa Bay starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot's 143-km/h slider to the left of right field for a huge double. The speed of the ball reached 171 kilometers. It was Lee's second double in the MLB.

On top of that, Lee Jung-hoo scored his sixth point of the season by drawing a two-run arch against the right-center wall.

However, he failed to produce multiple hits more than two hits per game. Afterwards, Lee hit a strong hit with runners on the second and third bases with one out in the sixth inning, but was caught by shortstop and was treated as a double play, and he only grounded out to the first base in the last at-bat in the eighth inning.

Meanwhile, San Francisco overwhelmed Tampa Bay 11-2 with five homers, avenging its previous day's 1-2 loss. San Francisco has six wins and nine losses in this season. On the other hand, Tampa Bay, whose winning streak ended at three, now has seven wins and eight losses.
