Filed under: Diamondbacks, GiantsPHOENIX (AP) -- Their teammate lying on the dugout floor, barely conscious and surrounded by trainers, the San Francisco Giants weren't thinking about moving runners, getting outs, even winning the game.
They were praying Eugenio Velez would be OK.
The outfielder should be after a scary head injury and that's all that really matters to the Giants, even after their impressive 10-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks Saturday night.
"A scary moment because it hit him good," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We were concerned about him."
Velez was injured in the fourth inning when a sharp liner by teammate Pat Burrell shot into the dugout. Unable to see the ball coming through the teammates standing in front of him, Velez couldn't react in time and was hit on the left side of the head.
Some teammates immediately gathered around, while others couldn't look. The trainers rushed over. Burrell took a few moments before returning to the batter's box. Even the opposing team cringed at seeing the fluke injury.Paul Pierce
