The Rundown: Bryant Returns to Lineup, Wants to Avoid Head-First Slides; Clayton Richard DFA’d Again, Giants Lose in Extras, Baez with Another Huge Game

Well, the highly anticipated series against the Pirates began with a fizzle. Last night’s game was peppered with rain delays totaling three hours and twenty-nine minutes before being postponed in the 5th inning.

The game will start from scratch at a later date, which is yet to be announced.

So that was a bummer. However, some good news from the night occurred with the return of Kris Bryant to the lineup.

Bryant had left Sunday’s game with dizziness after a hard head-first slide into second base. Even though he said he’s feeling fine, Bryant is not taking Sunday’s incident lightly, writes Patrick Mooney.
