MESA, Ariz. (AP) – Cubs right-hander Corey Black realized something was wrong when Hunter Pence screamed in pain. At that point, there was nothing he could do.
Black was feeling bad Friday after he threw a fastball in his first spring outing that broke Pence’s left forearm, sidelining the San Francisco outfielder for six to eight weeks. Pence, one of the leaders for the World Series champions, has played in 383 straight games – the longest active streak in the majors – since the Giants traded for him in July 2012.
”You don’t want to hit people, first of all, and then hurting someone on top of that is even worse,” Black said. ”So it’s a bad feeling and I just hope he heals up quick.”
