Lee Jung-hoo (26) of the San Francisco Giants was absent for two consecutive games. It is the first time that Lee has been absent since entering the Major League. As Lee was absent, San Francisco also coincidentally fell into a swamp of two consecutive losses.

The San Francisco Giants lost 2-4 to the Cincinnati Reds in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) home game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on the 11th (Korea time).

Due to the loss, San Francisco Giants posted 17 wins and 23 losses, maintaining its fourth place in the National League West. The team has been bogged down for two consecutive losses. In contrast, Cincinnati escaped the swamp for eight consecutive years, recording 17 wins and 21 losses.

Lee Jung-hoo was excluded from the starting lineup on the day and did not play at the end of the game. He had a chance to play in the latter half of the game as a substitute and defense, but San Francisco Giants did not deploy Lee Jung-hoo.

There was a reason. Lee Jung-hoo was hit on his left foot by his foul ball during a game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. He did not play in the game against Cincinnati after missing the game against Colorado on the previous day due to pain.

According to the Major League Baseball's official website MLB.com , manager Bob Melvin said, "Lee Jung-hoo will be able to return on Sunday (the 12th) or Monday (the 13th)." San Francisco will play three consecutive games against Cincinnati until the 13th and then continue to play three consecutive games against the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to manager Bob Melvin's explanation, he is expected to reappear in the three consecutive games against the Los Angeles Dodgers at the latest. ━ On the day, San Francisco Giants started in the order of Austin Slater (center fielder), Tyro Estrada (second baseman), Ramonte Wade Jr. (designated hitter), Wilmer Flores (first baseman), Matt Chapman (third baseman), Elliott Ramos (right fielder), Casey Schmidt (striker), Tyler Fitzgerald (left fielder) and Jackson Ritz (catcher). The starting pitcher was right-handed Logan Webb, who has been playing the role of ace by recording three wins and three losses and an ERA of 3.50. Austin Slater was assigned to the leadoff position in place of Lee.

In response, Cincinnati started in the order of T.J. Friedl (center fielder), Eli de la Cruz (striker), Mike Ford (designated hitter), Spencer Steyer (first baseman), Jake Freley (right fielder), Tyler Stephenson (catcher), Jaime Candelario (third baseman), Will Benson (left fielder) and Jonathan India (second baseman). The starting pitcher was left-hander Andrew Abbott, who had one win, four losses and a 3.32 ERA before the game.

The two teams exchanged one point apiece from the first inning, signaling a fierce competition. In the top of the first inning, Cincinnati had one out and no runners, and De La Cruz got on base with a hit to the left, and stole second base. When Ford grounded out to the second base, he went to the third base and then homered for Steyer's timely double. (1-0) Then, San Francisco brought the game to square one with a big hit in the bottom of the first inning. Slater, the leadoff hitter, was grounded out to shortstop. However, Estrada hit the fifth pitch with the ball count of 2-2, and hit a tying solo shot over the left fence. (1-1) Then, with two outs, San Francisco's Flores hit a double to the left, but Chapman struck out after a game of eight pitches.

San Francisco Giants turned the game around by scoring a run in the bottom of the second inning. After the leadoff hitter Ramos hit a double to the left-center field, he settled down at the third base when Schmidt hit a grounder to the second base. He then scored when Fitzgerald hit a timely hit to the right, making it 2-1.

However, the San Francisco Giants' lead was short-lived. Ahead of the top of the third inning, the team changed the defensive position of Tyler Fitzgerald to center field and deployed Michael Confoto, who had previously replaced Slater, to left field. According to the San Francisco Giants' official SNS, Slater was replaced after showing signs of a concussion. Slater collided with a fence while trying to deal with Steer's hit in the top of the first inning.

After De La Cruz got on base with a hit to the left-center field with one out, Cincinnati made it to the second base taking advantage of San Francisco center fielder Tyler Fitzgerald's catch error. It was the moment that clearly felt Lee Jung-hoo, who always displayed neat defense even after entering the Major League, was absent. De La Cruz's ball deflected off the glove of Schmidt, a shortstop who jumped, and headed toward center field. However, Fitzgerald stopped trying to catch the ball but missed it as he fumbled. Not missing this opportunity, La Cruz ran to the second base and succeeded in safety. Then, he stole the third base when Ford was at bat, and De La Cruz hit a timely hit to the right, bringing De La Cruz home. The game ended up at the 2-2 starting point. At the top of the fourth inning, Cincinnati scored one run to turn the game around again. With one out, Benson got on base with a hit to the right and went to the second base when he grounded out in front of India's pitcher. Friedl then hit a timely double to the left-center field to bring second baseman Benson home

Since then, Cincinnati's offense in the top of the eighth inning, with both teams' pitchers refusing to allow runs. One out later, Steyer reached base with a walk after a 10-pitch game. The next batter was Fraley. However, Cincinnati deployed pinch-hitter Fairchild, and Steyer was out after failing to steal a base. All of his runners disappeared with two outs in an instant. However, Fairchild's bat shone. At the same time, it was not a regrettable scene for San Francisco's outfield defense. Fairchild's ball went straight to the left-center field and hit the fence, and bounced back. Fitzgerald, who was rushing toward the fence to catch the ball, missed the ball and started running again to catch the ball rolling away from him. It can be said that Fitzgerald as well as the San Francisco outfielders were not good at fence play. Meanwhile, the batter, Fairchild, quickly ran around the third base and rushed home to complete the "Inside the Park" home run. It was a decisive game, making it 3-2 to 4-2. In the end, San Francisco ended up losing in the bottom of the eighth and ninth innings without scoring a point.
