Rookie Mauricio Dubón shines bright on an otherwise dark night for Giants

SAN FRANCISCO — When Mauricio Dubón left Honduras as a 15-year-old teenager, he brought a love of baseball and a dream of one day playing in the major leagues.

Ten years later, Dubón’s love for the game is stronger than ever. His dream has been realized and now, the rest is what he makes of it.

If Thursday’s performance is any indication of what’s to come, Dubón is going to make more than just memories. In the midst of dark night for the Giants (65-68) in a 5-3 loss to the Padres, Dubón was an unquestioned bright spot and proved why many scouts believe he’ll have no trouble making a living in the game.
