Pence was hit in the arm by hard throwing Cubs prospect Corey Black in the sixth inning, and left the game after touching first base.

“Lost for words. Hope you heal fast @hunterpence hitting someone is never a good feeling. Hurting someone is even worse,” Black tweeted following the news.

“Of course it’s disappointing,” Giants president and CEO Larry Baer said Thursday night. “Hunter’s a vital part of the team. But knowing him, he’ll move mountains to get back quickly.”

Pence has played in 383 straight games — the longest active streak in the majors.
