▲ May 30 (Korean time) — Lee Jung-hoo in his return game at Coors Field.
[SPOTV News — Kim Geon-il] Lee Jung-hoo returned to the lineup and produced a four-hit night, but his breakout performance was ultimately overshadowed by a late collapse from his club.
On May 30 (Korean time) at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, Lee started as the No. 6 hitter and right fielder in the 2026 Major League matchup with the Colorado Rockies. He finished the night 4-for-5 with a double and scored two runs.
Lee left the May 19 road game in Arizona with lower-back pain and was placed on the 10-day injured list. He rejoined the lineup Monday for his first game back.
Before his injury he was hitting .268 with a .696 OPS across 48 games. After collecting his third hit early in the game, his season average rose to .283; he later added a fourth knock in the ninth.
After grounding out in his first plate appearance, Lee lined a hit in the fourth inning. On an 0-1 count he turned on an 87.5-mph slider for a base hit.
He moved to second on Bryce Eldridge’s walk and crossed the plate on Harrison Bader’s RBI single.
Lee led off the sixth with a single to left for his second hit of the game, but the rally stalled and he was left stranded.
One of his hits was a double. Leading off the eighth against Keegan Thompson, Lee ripped a ball into left-center, squeezing it past a third baseman who had shaded toward second.
▲ May 30 (Korean time) — Lee Jung-hoo collected four hits in his return against the Colorado Rockies.
Lee advanced to third on Daniel Susac’s sacrifice fly and later scored his second run on an Eldridge flyout.
Not content with three hits, Lee added a fourth with two outs and a runner on first in the ninth — a well-struck ball with an exit velocity of 101.3 mph.
San Francisco looked set to secure the win, but the game unraveled in the ninth. With two outs remaining, Hunter Goodman launched a three-run homer to tie it, and Ezekiel Tovar followed with a walk-off two-run shot to end the game.
Offensively, Lee joined Luis Arraez and Rafael Devers as multi-hit performers for the Giants in the loss.
