SAN FRANCISCO -- Mac Williamson isn't indestructible. But he gained an aura of invincibility during the Giants' 4-3 victory Tuesday night over the Washington Nationals when he collided with one wall and cleared another with a go-ahead home run.
Williamson avoided serious injury when he crashed into the barrier adjacent to the Giants' bullpen as he pursued Bryce Harper's fifth-inning fly ball. Williamson sprinted into foul territory, but missed the catch and stumbled on one of the bullpen mounds, tumbling into the wall. After a brief examination, Williamson remained in the game.
That left Williamson available to face Nationals starter Tanner Roark with two outs in the sixth.
