SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants lost more than the series opener to the Marlins on Monday evening. Closer Hunter Strickland will be sidelined for at least six to eight weeks with a fractured right pinkie finger.
After leaving the field following his fourth blown save of the season, Strickland punched a door in frustration with his pitching hand, according to manager Bruce Bochy. On his way to the dugout, Strickland had exchanged words with Marlins rookie Lewis Brinson, who slashed the game-tying single.
Bochy did not hear about the incident until he got home from the 5-4 loss, but said he was "crushed" and 'thoroughly disappointed" when he found out.
