Jung Hoo Lee's Hit Streak Ends at 4 Games in Giants' Loss to Red Sox

Jung Hoo Lee's streak of consecutive games with a hit came to an end on Tuesday, as the San Francisco Giants fell to the Boston Red Sox 4-6. Lee, batting fifth and playing right field, went hitless in three at-bats and drew one walk, resulting in his season batting average dipping to .291 (130 hits in 446 at-bats).

The streak, which had reached four games, was broken during the away game at Fenway Park. Lee's first plate appearance in the second inning resulted in a fly out to left field. Later, in the third inning with two outs and runners on first and second, he battled through an eight-pitch at-bat to earn a walk, but the subsequent batter grounded out, ending the threat.

Lee had another opportunity in the fifth inning with one out, hitting a fly ball to third base for an out. His struggles extended to defense in the sixth inning. With one out and a runner on first, a fly ball hit towards Lee was misjudged, allowing it to go past him for a triple. The runner from first scored, though the play was not officially charged as an error. This miscue added to the frustration of the Giants' 4-6 defeat, extending their losing streak to two games and keeping them fourth in the NL West with a 52-76 record.
