Giants outfielder Gerardo Parra was forced to leave Monday night’s 6-5 loss to the Padres because of a scary situation.
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning at Oracle Park, he stepped into the batter's box against Padres left-handed Brad Wieck.
Wieck's first pitch, a 93-mph fastball, got away from him and hit Parra on the right side of his face.

Parra went down to the ground in immediate pain, where he stayed face-down for a few minutes.
The veteran outfielder was able to walk off the field under his own power, but he had a towel over his face, likely soaking up blood.
After the game, Giants manager Bruce Bochy told reporters that Parra suffered a cut on his lip, and that he would be available to play Tuesday night against the Padres.
Giants starter Madison Bumgarner hit Padres rookie shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. with a pitch in the top of the second inning and again in the top of the seventh.
