SAN DIEGO -- Giants right fielder Hunter Pence left the initial game of his injury rehabilitation stint after three innings Saturday, two innings earlier than planned. But Giants general manager Bobby Evans said in a text message that Pence "seems OK" and apparently did not aggravate his injured right hamstring.
Playing for the Giants' Triple-A Sacramento affiliate at Round Rock, Texas, Pence departed after singling in the third inning. He also was hit by a pitch on his right leg in the first inning, which, as Evans indicated, may have prompted his early exit.
"Just didn't want to push him after he was HBP," Evans said in his text.
