He made a hit in all three at-bats, especially the second at-bat in the third inning.

Lee Jung-hoo, who faced left-hander Stephane Tapley with two outs and runners on first and second bases, hit a sinker that came in low for the sixth pitch in the 2-2 count.
A fast grounder with a firing speed of 100.7 miles escaped through the right foul line, leading to an RBI double.
San Francisco won the game 10-2. In the bottom of the third inning, Jared Oliva’s surprise bunt, Luis Arraez’s defensive error from the fielder’s selection scene, and Lee Jung-hoo’s timely hit combined to lead the game by scoring three points.
San Francisco, which scored in the fifth inning thanks to its opponent’s defensive errors, widened the gap by drawing an arch in the sixth inning with Willy Adames and Bryce Eldridge and Tyler Fitzgerald in the eighth inning.
Meanwhile, San Francisco showed off its new uniform for Saturday’s home game this season.
The uniform, with the Giants’ Spanish notation “Gigantes” on the front, was designed by artist Jesse Hernandez based in the Bay Area and was made to commemorate Latin culture in the Bay Area, including San Francisco.
