This glove story did not have a happy ending.
In the second inning of Sunday’s game at Coors Field, Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon fielded a hot grounder from the Giants’ Thairo Estrada. McMahon figured it would be a routine play. Instead, the baseball went right through the index and middle fingers of McMahon’s glove.
“That’s my old baby glove and I have been using that since high-A,” McMahon said. “I’m just going to put it in retirement now.”
McMahon was charged with an error and the cartoonish play contributed to the Giants’ two-run inning. San Francisco went on to win the game, 9-8, in 11 innings.
