Tom Murphy leaves injured, throwing SF Giants catching situation into chaos

PHILADELPHIA — A difficult situation for the Giants turned disastrous not long into the second game of their series against the Phillies on Saturday.

Already without their starting catcher, they lost their No. 2 backstop in the second inning.

Barely 24 hours after Patrick Bailey suffered a concussion, forcing him to the injured list before first pitch Saturday, his backup, Tom Murphy, was forced to exit when he appeared to injure his leg while chasing after a pitch in the dirt from reliever Mitch White.
