MIAMI — The San Francisco Giants Manager Bruce Bochy was admitted to a Miami hospital after falling ill and missed Monday night’s game against the Marlins.

The Giants did not specify what sent the 61-year-old Bochy to the hospital Monday morning. They said in a statement that he is “resting comfortably” and will be monitored overnight.

Bochy underwent a heart procedure in February 2015 to insert two stents.

The Giants say they expect him to return Tuesday. Bochy led the team to World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

Bench coach Ron Wotus served as manager in the opener of the three-game series in Miami.

MARLINS: The president of the Baseball Hall of Fame was the grateful recipient as Ichiro Suzuki handed over his gear – a jersey, a pair of cleats, his arm guard and batting gloves, all items he wore while becoming the 30th player to reach 3,000 hits.

When the exchange concluded, the two men bowed to each other, a fitting gesture to celebrate the bridge from Japan to Cooperstown.

Suzuki began building that bridge when he came to the major leagues as a 27-year-old rookie in 2001. Three-thousand hits later, he’s a memorabilia-making machine.

The Suzuki collection at the Hall of Fame numbered more than two dozen items even before his triple Sunday at Colorado, which made him the first Japanese player to reach 3,000 hits. When he and his teammates returned to Marlins Park to begin a homestand, Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson was there to collect additional Suzuki souvenirs.

“Jeff asked me about the stuff,” Suzuki said through an interpreter. “I was happy to give it to him. I have an agreement with Jeff that when I die, all of my stuff is going to go to Jeff and the Hall of Fame.”

Suzuki, a baseball history buff, has visited Cooperstown six times.
