Cleveland Indians Korean outfielder Choo Shin-soo hit his third home run of the preseason, Friday (KST).

In Arizona, Choo hit the dinger in the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels for a 6-3 win.

The 27-year-old batted 2-for-3, and took his batting average to almost .400, at .396.

His homerun was the first since Choo's longball on March 20 against the Texas Rangers, and it was his sixth multi-hit game of the preseason.

Meanwhile veteran reliever Park Chan-ho of the New York Yankees pitched one scoreless inning against the Toronto Blue Jays in Florida.

The 36-year-old went to the mound in the bottom of the six with 5-2 lead, and gave up two groundballs with one strikeout.

Park has generated eight strikeouts in seven innings, and hasn't allowed a single walk during the preseason.
