Lee Dae-ho Breaks World Record for Consecutive-Game Home Runs

Slugger Lee Dae-ho of the Lotte Giants has set a world record by hitting home runs in nine consecutive games.

The infielder hit a three-run homer on Saturday in a game against the Kia Tigers in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province to break the record. It was also Lee's league-leading 38th home run of the season.

Before Lee, three Korean players had homered in six straight games. In U.S. Major League Baseball only three sluggers including Ken Griffey Jr. have had eight consecutive home run games.
