More from San Francisco Giants
Ramiro Pena has started his first game with the San Francisco Giants now that normal third baseman Matt Duffy has landed on the DL with a left Achilles strain. While Duffy may be sidelined for longer than the Giants would like, it provides them an opportunity to test their depth and ensure that they have a backup capable of stepping in when needed.
The Giants’ history at third base has been a mixed bag since Pablo Sandoval‘s departure prior to the 2015 season.
