Giants closer Hunter Strickland will be out for 6-8 weeks after taking out his frustrations on a door. The injury occurred on Monday night after he blew a save and took a loss against the Marlins.
Strickland gave up three runs in the 9th inning to blow a 4-2 lead. He now has a broken hand that requires surgery.
