Lee, Kim both extend hitting streaks

Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants has now hit safely in seven straight games.

The South Korean rookie stretched his hitting streak with a two-hit effort against the Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park in Miami on Monday. Lee batted 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run and a walk, raising his batting average to .258 in the process and helping the Giants win 4-3.

Lee led off the game with a single off starter Edward Cabrera in the first inning. Lee, though, was caught stealing second base.

Lee drew a walk and later scored on Michael Conforto’s single to cut the Giants’ deficit to 3-1 in the fourth inning. After flying out in the fifth, Lee drove in the gametying run with a single during the three-run seventh inning.

With runners at first and second, Lee went opposite field for a single off reliever Andrew Nardi, and Mike Yastrzemski scored from second to make it a 3-3 game en route to the Giants’ one-run victory.

Kim Ha-seong of the San Diego Padres also had a productive day at the plate Monday.

He batted 1-for-3 and drew two walks, while also driving in a run and scoring a run in the Padres’ 7-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field in Milwaukee. Kim is now batting .221 and has a .333 on-base percentage. (Yonhap)
