The San Francisco Giants lost third baseman J.D. Davis and left fielder Mitch Haniger to injuries on back-to-back plays in the third inning of their Tuesday road game against the St. Louis Cardinals

Davis hurt his right leg or ankle during an awkward slide into third base. A Giants trainer came out to work on Davis’ leg before the veteran player slowly walked off

The next batter up after that play was Haniger, who was hit in the wrist by a pitch from St. Louis starter Jack Flaherty.

Casey Schmitt pinch-ran for Davis and took over at third base in the bottom half of the inning. Blake Sabol replaced Haniger in left field.

Davis, 30, leads the Giants this season with 35 RBIs, and he improved his batting average to .286 by going 1-for-2 on Tuesday

Haniger, 32, is in his first season with San Francisco after a productive stint with the Seattle Mariners. He is batting .230 with four homers and 22 RBIs after finishing 0-for-1 on Tuesday.
