If it wasn’t bad enough the Giants’ bullpen collapsed Monday night, it also lost one of its most effective parts.
George Kontos, who had appeared in eight of the first 13 games and produced a 1.59 ERA, will go the disabled list Tuesday with a flexor strain, an injury similar to the one that shelved reliever Sergio Romo.
The Giants lost to the Diamondbacks 9-7 because the bullpen wasted leads in the eighth and ninth innings and unraveled further in the decisive 11th when Arizona scored twice off Chris Heston, who threw three wild pitches.
