Kim Hye-seong notches multihit game as Lee Jung-hoo held hitless

Los Angeles Dodgers' Kim Hye-seong tallied his third multihit game of the season with a 2-for-4 performance and an RBI in a 3-0 shutout win over the San Francisco Giants. Fellow Korean Lee Jung-hoo of the Giants went hitless for the first time in three games. The victory avenged the Dodgers' losses in the previous two games of the series.

Kim Hye-seong started at shortstop and batted eighth for the Dodgers at Oracle Park. He drove in the team's third run with a single in the fourth inning and added another single in the ninth, raising his batting average from .300 to .324.

Lee Jung-hoo, meanwhile, went 0-for-3. In the bottom of the second with a runner at first, he grounded into a 6-4-3 double play off Kim. He then flied out to center in the fifth and popped out to first in the eighth, dropping his average to .253.

The Dodgers held the Giants to just one hit in the shutout. After losing the first two games of the series by a combined 6-1 score, Los Angeles evened the score in the finale. This was the first 2026 matchup between Kim and Lee, the only two South Koreans currently in Major League Baseball.
