Lee Dae-ho hit his very first consecutive homers in Major League

He sure was a “big boy.” Lee Dae-ho of the Seattle Mariners (photo) sent a big present to Korean fans on Children’s Day. For the first time since his debut in Major League, he hit consecutive home runs.

As an eighth hitter and a first baseman at a match against Oakland at OO.co Coliseum in Oakland, California on Thursday local time, Lee hit a homer of 135 meter driving distance in the sixth inning with 4-8 down, one out and no runners.

In the first half of the seventh inning with Seattle 7-8 down, two outs and a runner on second, he blasted a homerun that flew over the left fence and won a losing game. His team won 9-8. “The 33-year-old rookie from Korea has a sense for the dramatic,” a Seattle local media “The News Tribune” said.
