San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo got a hit in his final at-bat and stole a base Saturday in the team's 3-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
Lee went 1 for 4 while batting sixth and playing right field at Fenway Park. He remained at .291 for the season.
The Korean outfielder struggled against Boston left-hander Patrick Sandoval, striking out on a foul tip in the second inning, grounding out to first in the third and lining out to center in the sixth.
With the Giants leading 2-0 and two outs in the eighth, Lee lined a clean single to the right, moving the runner from first to third. He then stole second, his ninth stolen base of the season, but San Francisco could not bring the runners home.
The Giants took a 2-0 lead on two solo home runs and escaped a bases-loaded threat without allowing a run in the bottom of the eighth.
Boston tied the game in the ninth on consecutive RBI singles with runners on first and third and one out.
With the bases loaded later in the inning, Boston scored the winning run when the catcher failed to complete a play at home after the first baseman fielded a grounder and threw to the plate.
The loss dropped San Francisco to 2-3.
