Jung Hoo Lee's Inside-the-Park Homer at Dodger Stadium Makes Giants History

Scorers credited the rare play as a true home run, turning a misplayed bloop into a brief game-tying jolt.

Overview

  • Lee tied the game 2-2 in the fifth inning Thursday with an inside-the-park home run at Dodger Stadium.
  • The bloop left at 73.2 mph hit the warning track, kicked off the foul-wall, and squirted away from left fielder Teoscar Hernández.
  • Official scoring gave no error on the play, so Lee earned his first inside-the-park homer and his third home run of 2026.
  • Hernández later matched a career high with three doubles, and pinch-hitter Alex Call ripped a two-run double in the sixth for a 4-2 Dodgers lead.
  • The Dodgers won 5-2, sealing a game that still entered the books as the first inside-the-park home run by a Giants player at Dodger Stadium.
