Happy Friday, San Francisco Giants fans. And it’s a happy Friday indeed, assuming you’re all still riding the high of Casey Schmitt’s magical Thursday, which left him 8-12 with two home runs and two doubles to start his young, promising career.
But it’s not all peaches and peanut butter cups in the Giants clubhouse. On Thursday afternoon, before the game, the Giants announced that center fielder Austin Slater was being placed on the 10-day Injured List after hurting his hamstring during the team’s loss on Wednesday.
This wasn’t surprising, as Slater came up lame trying to run to first and left the game.
