Los Angeles Angels – Having not used him in six days, the Angels wanted to get Raisel Iglesias some work, so they summoned him for the bottom of the 8th down by a run. Iglesias pitched a scoreless inning and would go on to get the win when the Angels scored twice in the top of the 9th; Mike Mayers ended up getting the save.
Hierarchy remains: Iglesias | Mayers | Watson.
San Francisco Giants – Jake McGee got the day off after pitching Friday and Saturday, so Tyler Rogers got the call in the 9th, earning his fourth save of the season. You read the Vulture Save Watch, though, so this wasn’t a surprise to you.
Hierarchy remains: *McGee | Rogers | Doval.
