This was two innings after Lee led off the game with a booming double to right field in the top of the first.
After starring in the KBO league in Korea, Lee signed a six-year $113 million contract with the Giants over the offseason and is expected to be the team’s everyday center fielder and leadoff hitter.
So far, the results have been great for the 25-year-old, with Giants manager Bob Melvin praising him for fitting into the organization so seamlessly.
