Giants' Lee Jung-hoo Posts Three-Hit Game in Narrow Loss to Mets

The San Francisco Giants narrowly lost 2-1 to the New York Mets at Oracle Park, despite a strong offensive showing from outfielder Lee Jung-hoo, who went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a ninth-inning double that nearly tied the game. Lee's double off the right-center field wall would have been a home run in nearly every other MLB stadium, but the unique dimensions of Oracle Park turned it into a double, preventing the tying run from scoring. The Giants' offense has struggled overall, ranking low in runs scored over recent months and going hitless with runners in scoring position in this series, reflecting ongoing difficulties in clutch situations. Lee expressed regret over missed opportunities, noting this was one of several hits that could have been home runs in other ballparks. Despite individual performances, key defensive mistakes, including a costly error by Rafael Devers, contributed to the Giants' defeat. The team remains competitive with a 54-51 record but continues to face challenges converting opportunities into runs.
