Giants' Spencer Bivens: Grabs first save
Spencer Bivens allowed a hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.Bivens has mostly been used in long-relief spots this year, but he was called on for a save chance after Ryan Walker pitched in a high-leverage spot in the eighth inning. Bivens was up to the task, earning his first major-league save, though he's not unfamiliar with the closing role after earning eight saves with Triple-A Sacramento in 2024. In the majors, Bivens has a 3.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB across 48.2 innings over 27 appearances (two starts).

Giants' Spencer Bivens: Returns to bullpen
Spencer Bivens appeared out of the bullpen in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Brewers, giving up two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out two in two innings.Bivens returned to a relief role after he had made his previous appearance as a starter Sunday, when he tossed 4.2 innings of one-run ball while striking out three in the San Francisco Giants' 7-6 win over the Padres.

Giants' Spencer Bivens: Limits Padres to one run
Spencer Bivens did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Padres, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.1 innings.Bivens blanked the Padres through four innings before Jackson Merrill finally broke through with a leadoff home run in the fifth. Bivens threw 63 pitches with 42 going for strikes and the home run being the only extra-base hit allowed. It was the second-longest outing of the season for him after he went five innings in his only other start back on June 30. Bivens could be given a look in the rotation down the stretch with Kyle Harrison (shoulder) potentially done for the year and Mason Black struggling during his time in the majors so far this year. For the year, Bivens owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB in 39 innings. If he were to make another start, it would project to come against the Padres again over the weekend.

Giants' Spencer Bivens: Drawing start Sunday
Spencer Bivens will start Sunday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Bivens will be making his second MLB start, with each of his last 13 appearances with San Francisco coming out of the bullpen after he tossed five innings and allowed one run in a no-decision during his start against the Dodgers on June 30. Despite being deployed in relief lately, Bivens should be relatively stretched out after he tossed four innings and 54 pitches in his most recent appearance in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks. Landen Roupp and Tristan Beck are candidates to piggyback or work multiple innings behind Bivens if the right-hander isn't able to offer the San Francisco Giants as much length in a starting role as expected.
