Giants mourn death of Mirian Cepeda, wife of Hall of Famer

The Giants will hold a moment of silence before Wednesday night’s game in honor of Mirian Ortiz Cepeda, the wife of Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda, who died Wednesday morning at 62.

The cause was complications from pneumonia, Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter said

Orlando and Mirian Cepeda had been married for 26 years. Mrs. Cepeda was born in Puerto Rico and raised in the Bronx.

She had been hospitalized over the past week in Fairfield, near the Cepedas’ home in Solano County.
