The Giants avoided getting swept by the Marlins with a 6-3 win in 16 innings Thursday, but they couldn't avoid the injury bug bringing them down again.
Evan Longoria fractured his left hand in the fourth inning, Bruce Bochy announced to reporters after the win. Longoria fractured the fifth metacarpal.
"Great win, but tough loss," Bochy said on Longoria's injury.
Longoria was hit by a pitch in fourth inning on a fastball from Marlins starting pitcher Dan Straily. He stayed in the game briefly before being replaced at third base by Alen Hanson. It was clear right away that Longoria's hand was significantly swelling from the hit by pitch.
