SAN DIEGO — Petco Park may be regarded as one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in all of baseball, but someone forgot to remind the San Francisco Giants before their trip to San Diego this week.
That loud echo reverberating throughout the Gaslamp District the past two nights has been the sound produced from Giants hitters barreling up baseballs by the dozen.
The conductor of the Giants’ Petco Park symphony is third baseman Evan Longoria, who homered into the second deck of the left field bleachers in the third inning before clobbering a ball off the top of the Western Metal Supply Co.
