It was just another day at the office for Lee Jung-hoo, as he collected four knocks to extend his hitting streak to 16 games.

The Korean outfielder for the San Francisco Giants went 4-for-5 and scored twice, though the Giants blew a late lead and lost to the Washington Nationals 4-3 at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Monday (local time).

Lee's 16-game run is the longest active hitting streak in Major League Baseball (MLB).

This was the fifth game this season in which Lee had at least four hits, and four of those games have come during the ongoing streak.
