Lee Jung‑hoo’s Hot Streak

Lee Jung-hoo gave the San Francisco Giants a jolt on April 10 with his first home run of 2026, then followed it a day later with another two-hit game. (sports.yahoo.com) The home run came in a 6-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, where Lee hit a two-run shot in the seventh inning and the Giants stretched their winning streak to three games. (sports.yahoo.com) (espn.com) On April 11 in Baltimore, the Giants lost 6-2, but Lee went 2 for 4 for his second straight multi-hit game. ESPN’s player log lists him at 8 hits in 46 at-bats through that game, with 1 home run and 7 runs batted in. (biz.chosun.com) (baseball-reference.com) That small burst matters because Lee opened the season in a slump. Before this two-game stretch, his 2026 line sat well below his 2025 production, when Yahoo’s stats page credits him with a.266 average, 8 home runs and 55 runs batted in over 150 games. (sports.yahoo.com) It also comes early in a Giants season that has been uneven. Baseball-Reference listed San Francisco at 6-8 and fourth in the National League West after the April 11 loss, with 47 runs scored and 60 allowed. (baseball-reference.com) Lee is 27 and signed through 2029 on a six-year, $113 million contract, according to Baseball-Reference. He debuted for San Francisco on March 28, 2024, after arriving from the Korea Baseball Organization as one of the club’s biggest lineup investments. (baseball-reference.com) He also entered 2026 in a different defensive setup. An Associated Press item carried by Yahoo in February said Lee was moving into regular right field work after playing center field, while the Giants evaluated the rest of the outfield. (sports.yahoo.com) For now, the immediate change is at the plate: one home run on April 10, two more hits on April 11, and a little movement in a stat line that badly needed it.
