SAN FRANCISCO — After earning his first career win in a 16-inning victory over the New York Mets on Thursday, Giants reliever Williams Jerez is headed back to Triple-A Sacramento.
The Giants announced Friday they’ve recalled left-hander Ty Blach to take Jerez’s roster spot as the team is in dire need of fresh bullpen arms.
Jerez became the fifth different pitcher to join the Giants and be sent back to Sacramento in a span of five days, joining Dereck Rodríguez, Andrew Suárez, Ray Black and Sam Coonrod.
Jerez, 27, threw two innings in relief on Thursday and earned the win after Donovan Solano delivered a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 16th inning of a 3-2 Giants victory.
