Hunter Pence got his San Francisco homecoming in Scottsdale.
Five months after Giants fans treated the outfielder to a standing ovation in his final game in orange and black, Pence played against his old club for the first time since signing a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers in February. When Pence stepped up to the plate for his first at-bat, Giants fans gave Pence another ovation.
