DENVER – Yes, it absolutely can get worse for the Giants in 2017.
Mere moments after Eduardo Nuñez sustained a left hamstring injury on his 30th birthday, Buster Posey hurt himself in the most improbable way in a 10-9 loss to the Colorado Rockies: while hitting a home run.
Posey’s two-run shot in the seventh inning Thursday night cut the Giants’ deficit to 9-3 at Coors Field, leaving him a triple short of the cycle. But he limped badly down the dugout steps in front of stunned teammates and coaches. The Giants later announced that he had a sore ankle.
