This was one of those games, though, where it's hard to pinpoint even one or two players.
But we are going to talk about Jung Hoo Lee, because not just in this game, but in this series in Colorado, he was outstanding.
733 batting with 11 hits, three extra base hits, two ribbies, a slugging percentage of 1000, 1733 OPS.
The numbers just jump off the screen.
Today was the first five-hit game of his career.
Of course, this was his return after a short IL stint dealing with a back strain.
But he's come out with a vengeance, Sean.
What stood out about his approach here this weekend?
Well, yeah, I mean, when his approach is right, I mean, he's really a tough out, and that's because he's hitting the ball to all fields.
We talked about it with Eldridge earlier.
He does the same thing with less power, but he's a, he's a table setter.
He's a guy that gets on for, for the guys that can slug.
As you just look at the nice level swing at every pitch.
Now he's facing a, a, a position player there, but still it's a knock.
It's a, it's a knock in the stat line.
But, 11, 11 hits on the series.
His best game maybe as a Giant was the first game of the series, the game they probably should have won, and he was in the middle of everything defensively, offensively, and he picked up right where he left off in game one.
Got a couple hits yesterday, in last night's game, and then five hits in today's game.
So he's gonna have some tired legs when he gets on that flight to Milwaukee today.
But it's nice to see Jung Hoo back in the lineup.
Had a little hiccup with the back, but he came off, didn't miss a beat.
There you go.
Jung Hoo Lee just on fire, and hopefully he can continue this momentum as this road trip rolls on into Milwaukee and then Chicago, facing two really good ball clubs.
