Lee Jung-hoo's fourth four-hit game sets new 12-game hitting streak record

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo is showcasing a remarkable return to form, achieving his fourth four-hit game of the season and extending his personal hitting streak to 12 consecutive games. This impressive display of offensive prowess came during the Giants' 12-9 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday.

Lee's consistent performance at the plate has been a key factor in the Giants' recent success. In the game against the Brewers, he went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI, scoring three runs. This marks his second four-hit performance since returning from a ten-day stint on the injured list due to lower back muscle pain on May 19.

Since his return, Lee has been on a tear, hitting .322 with 67 hits in 208 at-bats. This surge has propelled his batting average significantly, moving him up to fourth place in Major League Baseball rankings. His current hitting streak of 12 games surpasses his previous personal best of 11 games set during his rookie season in 2024.

The Giants' victory, fueled by Lee's offensive contributions, helps them maintain their fourth-place standing in the National League West division with a 25-38 record. They hold a one-game lead over the last-place Colorado Rockies, underscoring the importance of Lee's performance in the team's standings.
