Giants' Bryan Morris: Picks up win in relief Friday

Morris notched his second victory of the season Friday, tossing a clean inning with two strikeouts in a comeback win over St. Louis.

The 30-year-old has fared well since being called up to the majors, striking out nine batters over 9.2 innings of work. His 4.66 ERA doesn't look pretty, but it is being inflated by a low 61.5 percent strand rate, resulting in a much cleaner 2.27 FIP. The Giants have several proven right-handed options to use in the late innings of close games, so Morris will remain in middle relief until a spot opens up.
