LOS ANGELES -- When the Giants claimed left-hander Wandy Peralta from the Reds on Saturday, they announced that he would join the team back in San Francisco. But Peralta showed up in the Dodger Stadium clubhouse Sunday morning, so there he was in the seventh inning, summoned from the bullpen with a couple of left-handers coming up for the Dodgers.
Welcome to September baseball.
The Giants suited up 13 relievers Sunday and had a fully stocked bench, which led to a unique sequence for manager Bruce Bochy, who is three weeks from the end of his tenure.
