San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo continues to show signs of a rebound, recording a multihit game in his second straight outing and raising his season batting average to .200.

Lee went 2-for-4 while batting sixth and playing right field in an away game against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland, on Saturday.

After hitting his first home run of the season and a double against Baltimore the previous day, Lee recorded his second straight multihit game. It was also his first time recording hits in consecutive games this season. His batting average rose from .174 to .200, with 10 hits in 50 at-bats.

After flying out to center field in his first at-bat with one out and a runner on second in the second inning, Lee sent a 144.8 kph (90 mph) four-seam fastball from Baltimore starter Chris Bassitt the other way for a single to left with one out and runners on first and second in the fourth. Rafael Devers, who was on second, did not score, so Lee was not credited with an RBI. Lee lined out to left in the sixth before adding another single in his final at-bat in the ninth.

San Francisco lost 6-2, ending its three-game winning streak.

Kim Hye-seong of the Los Angeles Dodgers started at shortstop and batted ninth against the Texas Rangers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, going 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base. Kim hit an infield single off Tyler Alexander with two outs and a runner on second in the sixth inning.

After picking up his first RBI of the season on a sacrifice fly against Texas on Saturday, Kim reached base twice on Sunday and added his first stolen base of the season. His batting average dipped from .375 to .364, with four hits in 11 at-bats. The Dodgers won 6-3.
