Murphy’s Law is in full effect for the San Francisco Giants through three weeks this season: everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong. Already short-handed in the outfield, the Giants lost another outfielder to injury during Saturday’s contest with the Colorado Rockies.
In the bottom of the second inning, Denard Span went back on a Charlie Blackmon flyball, chasing it down to make a run-saving catch on the warning track. After hauling the ball in to end the frame, Span crashed into the outfield wall with his right shoulder and jogged to the dugout in obvious discomfort, leaving his fallen cap on the warning track.
