PENCE IS BAY BOUND THREE GIANTS SENT EAST


The San Francisco Giants have acquired two-time All-Star outfielder Hunter Pence and cash from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for outfielder Nate Schierholtz, minor league catcher Tommy Joseph, and minor league right-handed pitcher Seth Rosin.

Pence, 29, batted .271 (108-for-398) with 17 home runs and 59 RBI in 101 games for the Phillies this season. He was leading the team in hits, home runs, RBI, runs scored (59), total bases (178) and walks (37). Among the National League leaders, his 22 go-ahead RBI are tied for the most in the league while his 10 game-winning RBI are tied for the ninth-most. He's also appeared in 101 games this season, tied for the third-most in the NL behind San Diego's Chase Headley (103) and Atlanta's Michael Bourn (102).
