Check out the pitching lines for the Giants.  Four of their pitchers have an "H" followed by a number next to their names.  What is this stat?  I've been noticing it in the Yahoo boxscores for a season or two, but have not been able to figure out what it means.

Please specify if you're guessing what it means or if you know what it means.

Thanks!

passing the ball to the next reliever. Just another stat that was created for relief pitchers to use at contract time.

Thanks.  
Another unofficial stat with dubious significance.

Texas reliever got a "save" because he pitched the final 3 innings. Go figure!!
