Lee Jung-hou directed a reversal of the Giants' away win over the Yankees to win the historic series

Lee's first trip to New York is destined to go down in history. Following Friday's opening hit at the Yankees Stadium, the South Korean outfielder made another double in the series finale on Sunday, including a three-point shot from six innings to help the Giants narrow 5-4 over the Yankees and walk away with a series win in the Bronx for the first time since the 2002 interconference event.

"Lee Jung-hou has been amazing in this series," said coach Bob Melvin, "and his ability to hit the ball accurately against unfamiliar pitchers is a testament to his skills." In the 14 games he started the season, Lee had a .352 batting average, 3 hits, 8 RBIs and 3 RBIs in MLB, 11 RBIs and 3 steals, and was second only to Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso at 1.130.

In the fourth inning, Lee struggled with his old club's left-handed Carlos Rodón to the fullest, blasting a slider into the right midfield (Statcast ranged at 406 feet, home run except Oracle Field). When he hit full bases in the sixth inning, he sniped a short porch (363 feet) in the right fieldfield, becoming the first left-handed hitter in Roden's career to double a single game.

"The pre-match strategy was to aim for the midfield," said Lee, who spoke through translation Justin Han, "and it turned out perfectly. The Giants took the lead with a three-point shot, and Casey Schmitt's second-run hit and Paul Goldschmidt's error added to the insurance score in the seventh inning.

Despite Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s late shot in eight games, finisher Ryan Walker sealed the win with three up and three down in nine games. 'This comeback shows the resilience of the team,' Melvin concluded. The Giants (11-4) ended a 21-year winless run against the Yankees on the road across the league.

Lee Jung-ho, who was reimbursed for a left shoulder injury in May last year, repaid the team's $113 million investment over six years with his actions. "The team has been fully supportive during the recovery," said Lee, "and now is the time for me to reciprocate." "His performance completely dispelled the doubts about the KBO hitter's adaptation to MLB - the 37-game .262 batting average and the haze of two hits in 2024 were swept away.

Starting pitcher Logan Webb, who won by conceding three points in five innings, praised his teammates: "He was born to make big games." Rookie second baseman Christian Koss opened the game with his first career hit in six innings, and Yankees catcher J.C. Escala opened the scoring curve. Escarra: "We tried to tackle him with a curveball, but he took his chances. "

As Lee continues to shine and the new core of the Giants Outfield is officially rising, this signing is showing great potential.
