Curt Casali - Swats homer Sunday Casali went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Padres.

Impact Casali provided what ended up being a crucial home run after going yard against Alek Jacob in the sixth to put the Giants up 7-1 in a game that finished 7-6. It was the first home run of the season for the 35-year-old backstop and his first hit since Aug. 20. He's made just two starts since Patrick Bailey returned from the injured list at the end of August and is now slashing .178/.282/.233 with six RBI, 11 runs and an 11:19 BB:K in 105 plate appearances this year.

Spencer Bivens - Limits Padres to one run 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.

Impact 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 of the season 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.

Webb has now won five of his last six decisions (spanning eight starts), though he's also failed to record more than four strikeouts in three straight.

Across 19 major-league outings this season, Bivens has a 2.86 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 34.2 innings.
