Happy weekend, San Francisco Giants fans.
The Giants started the second half of the season in style, winning a thrilling 6-4 game over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night to kick off an 11-game road trip. One of the stars was right fielder Michael Conforto, who had two hits, reached base three times, had a huge two-run single, and stole a base.
But he also gave us cause for concern. Conforto led off the ninth inning by getting hit by a pitch, and was replaced by pinch-runner Brett Wisely. With Thairo Estrada and Mitch Haniger both on the Injured List because of getting plunked, it was fair to start to worry.
