MIAMI (AP) – The San Francisco Giants like the Miami Marlins’ celebratory “lo viste” gesture so much they’ve borrowed it.
The Marlins signal each other with a sideways V over one eye after a big hit. “Lo viste” is Spanish for “Did you see that?”
A grinning Angel Pagan made the gesture toward his dugout after he singled home a run for the Giants in their victory Thursday at Miami to open a four-game series.
Several Giants told the Marlins before the game they planned to borrow the gesture, which the Marlins took as a compliment.
Houston pitcher Wilton Lopez was angered by “lo viste” when his team faced the Marlins two weeks ago, mocking the gesture after he hit Miami’s Hanley Ramirez with a pitch.
The Giants said they didn’t take offense.
