PHOENIX — The Giants added a pitcher to the roster for the opener of their series here, giving them a 13-man pitching staff.
It’s Clayton Blackburn, who was 1-3 with a 5.68 ERA in seven games, including six starts.
We’ll speak with Bruce Bochy soon for details. The Giants will make a corresponding move soon. Stay tuned.
All seven relievers pitched in Wednesday’s 13-inning victory over Toronto, and Jake Peavy would have been next had the game gone longer and Albert Suarez was replaced by a pinch-hitter.
