Lee Jeong-hoo recorded a hit in two consecutive games with a hard hit that went like a bullet past San Diego shortstop Kim Ha-seong in his first at-bat in the first inning.

Kim Ha-seong missed the next batter’s hit ball and turned it into a double play, but he made a more important hit in his third at-bat in the fourth inning.

With one out and 1st and 2nd base, Ha-seong Kim dove but hit a timely hit that couldn’t be caught, recording his first major league multiple hitter.

Lee Jeong-hoo is the first Korean player to have an RBI in his first two major league games.

Lee Jeong-hoo hit a big ball towards the center wall in the 8th inning, but was caught by the center fielder and unfortunately missed his first long shot.

Ha-seong Kim’s batting ability was no less than Jeong-hoo Lee’s.

He recorded a hit to left field in the 4th inning, and sent a big shot to right-center in the 6th inning, but was caught in Lee Jeong-hoo’s wide defensive range and swallowed his disappointment.

However, in the 9th inning, he hit a ground ball to Jeong-hoo Lee, completing his first multi-hitter of the season.

San Francisco won 8-3, led by Chapman’s two home runs, and recorded its first win of the season.

[이정후 /샌프란시스코 외야수 : (안타) 둘 다 타구 속도가 빨라서, 그것까지 잡으면 (김하성) 형은 지구인이 아니죠. 적극적으로 쳤던 게 좋은 결과가 나온 것 같습니다.]

Lee Jeong-hoo has adjusted smoothly to the big league with his incredible concentration, not missing a single swing in two games.
