SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS NEWS

Matt Chapman - Provides winning hit Chapman went 2-for-4 with a three-run double in Friday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact The Giants put multiple runners on base in just one of the first seven innings, but they constructed a rally in the eighth. Chapman did his part, clearing the bases with a two-out double that provided all the offense the Giants needed to win. The third baseman has driven in 19 runs and posted 12 extra-base hits over 26 games in August. He's at a .246/.332/.443 slash line, 21 home runs, 67 RBI, 88 runs scored, 33 doubles and 13 stolen bases through 133 contests overall.

Tyler Rogers - Picks up third win Rogers (3-4) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Friday over the Marlins.

Impact Rogers got three groundouts in the top of the eighth inning, and Matt Chapman's three-run double gave the Giants a lead in the bottom of the frame. Aside from a disaster outing Aug. 23 versus the Mariners, Rogers has been sharp this month -- he hasn't allowed a run in any of his other 13 appearances this month. For the season, he has a 3.06 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 45:4 K:BB over 61.2 innings while adding a save and 29 holds. Rogers also leads the majors in appearances with 68, matching his total from each of the last two years, though he's more frequently been asked to get less than three outs.

Ryan Walker - Locks down fifth save Walker struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact Walker has allowed just one unearned run on seven hits and two walks over his last 14.2 innings, striking out 27 in that span. He's picked up all five of his saves this year over his last eight appearances, and it doesn't look like Walker will be letting go of the closer role any time soon. He's now at a 1.92 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 92:15 K:BB through 70.1 innings this season. Walker's 67 appearances have him tied for second in the majors with Houston's Bryan Abreu and trailing only his Giants teammate Tyler Rogers (68), who earned the win Friday.

Blake Snell - Sharp in no-decision Snell allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Friday.

Impact After a mixed bag in Seattle for his last start -- three hitless innings with two runs allowed on six walks -- Snell was back in control Friday. The southpaw has earned a quality start in eight of his last nine outings, though this was just the third time in that span he's limited opponents to one walk or fewer. Snell has been nearly untouchable since the start of July and now has a 3.56 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 114:37 K:BB through 86 innings over 16 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Diamondbacks.

Mason Black - Named Saturday's starter The Giants will recall Black from Triple-A Sacramento to start Saturday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Across four MLB outings, Black has allowed 14 earned runs over 14.1 frames, and he hasn't appeared in a game for the Giants since May 23. However, he's turned in a 2.91 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 21.2 innings in Triple-A since the start of August, so he'll have momentum on his side as he faces the NL's lowest-scoring offense.

Brett Wisely - Recalled from Triple-A The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The Giants elected to outright Thairo Estrada to Triple-A after he cleared waivers Friday, so Wisely will now come up from the minors to replenish San Francisco's infield depth. The 25-year-old has slashed .249/.285/.363 with 24 RBI across 215 plate appearances in the majors this year, though he's gone 10-for-37 with two homers and seven RBI since returning to Sacramento on Aug. 19. As a left-handed hitter, he'll likely form a platoon at second base with the righty-hitting Casey Schmitt.

Tristan Beck - Improved form in fifth rehab start Beck (arm) made the fifth start of his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Sacramento, striking out five over three innings while giving up one earned run on two hits and one...

Impact After retiring just five batters while giving up seven runs (six earned) his last time out with Sacramento on Friday, Beck bounced back nicely Wednesday, giving up just one extra-base hit (a solo home run) and spotting 29 of his 41 pitches for strikes. He's now thrown exactly three innings in four of his rehab outings and hasn't thrown more than 56 pitches on any occasion, so the Giants may envision him serving as a multi-inning reliever in September rather than being an option for the rotation. Beck has been on the injured list all season with an upper right arm aneurysm that he addressed through surgery March 4.

Hayden Birdsong - Struggles in loss to Brewers Birdsong (3-4) allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Thursday.

Impact Birdsong has great stuff, as evidenced by his 60 strikeouts through 49 career innings, but he once again was plagued by control issues. The rookie walked four batters for his second straight start and has now given up five or more runs in three of his last five starts. Birdsong will want to turn the page on a rough month of August and will take a 5.14 ERA into his next start.
