Giants' Lee Jung-hoo outshines Dodgers' Kim Hye-seong in first Korean MLB matchup of 2026

Wednesday, 22 April 2026, 06:46 · 1 min read

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo went 2-for-3 with an RBI single to help his team beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 at Oracle Park on Tuesday, outperforming fellow South Korean Kim Hye-seong in their first head-to-head meeting of the Major League Baseball season. Kim, a shortstop who was called up from the minor leagues earlier this month, contributed a hit and a bases-loaded walk for the Dodgers' only run, but his first-inning throwing error proved costly, directly setting up all three Giants runs. The result highlights Lee's recovery from a slow start — his batting average has climbed from .185 to .259 over the past ten days — while the two remain the only South Korean players currently active in MLB.
