PHOENIX (CBS SF) -- The game between the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday in Phoenix generated plenty of buzz on and off the field after it was briefly delayed over a swarm of bees.

After three pitches into the game to Giants leadoff hitter Angel Pagan, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson called time to tell the umpires about the bee swarm near a center field sign.
