San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo collected his 37th multihit game of the season Wednesday, raising his batting average to .294 in a 1-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians.
Lee went 2-for-4 with a double and a strikeout as the Giants beat the Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland. The game was played Thursday morning in Korean time.
Lee, who had sat out the previous game, returned to the starting lineup as the No. 6 hitter and right fielder.
He flew out to left field in the second inning before hitting a double down the left-field line with two outs and a runner on first in the fourth. It was his 27th double of the season.
Lee added a leadoff single to right in the seventh off a low slider from Guardians starter Parker Messick.
He struck out in his final at-bat in the ninth.
The two hits lifted Lee's average from .292 to .294, giving him 129 hits in 439 at-bats.
Victor Bericoto's RBI single in the fourth inning provided the only run of the game, while Giants pitchers combined to shut out an anemic Cleveland offense.
The win improved San Francisco's record to 52-74.
