Lee Jung-hoo hits 20th double, extends hitting streak to three games

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo continued his consistent performance at the plate, hitting his 20th double of the season and maintaining a three-game hitting streak. Playing as the fifth batter and center fielder against the Colorado Rockies, Lee recorded one hit, one RBI, and one run in five at-bats.

This recent stretch of hits, beginning on July 2nd against the Arizona Diamondbacks, showcases Lee's reliable presence in the Giants' lineup. However, his batting average saw a slight dip from 0.319 to 0.317 (96 hits in 303 at-bats), though he remains among the top performers in Major League Baseball, currently ranking fifth in the league.

Lee had an opportunity to drive in more runs during the first inning with the bases loaded but hit a ground ball to second base. The Rockies' second baseman, Willie Castro, fielded the ball and initiated a potential double play. Lee's aggressive baserunning allowed him to reach first base safely, and a run scored from third base, crediting him with an RBI.
