SAN FRANCISCO -- In the final game of a season marred by injuries, the Giants saw yet another player walk off the field alongside a trainer.Left-hander Dan Runzler exited Wednesday's season finale against the Rockies during the seventh inning with a strained left lat muscle -- near the top of the back of his shoulder, he said. The reliever will undergo an MRI, and the Giants will decide what to d football live o from there."We're a little concerned, no question," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "But we're hoping for some good news once he gets tested here."Runzler said he heard "kind of a crack," and didn't expect he would need anything more than rest. But the injury was an unfortunate end point for an otherwise excellent finish for Runzler. He faced 20 hitters in September, allowing three hits and two football live walks while striking out five.He gave up a single to Seth Smith, and on an 0-2 pitch to Jordan Pacheco, clearly hurt himself. Bochy, pitching coach Dave Righetti and head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner came to the mound to check on Runzler, who left the field holding his arm."I feel like I've been throwing better, and I feel like I got my stuff back and my arm felt great," Runzler said. "So, I football live think it was one of those freak things." football live
