Jakob Junis - Just misses quality start Junis (1-1) was hit with the loss Saturday against St. Louis despite a decent performance which saw him allow two runs on six hits across 5.2 frames. He struck out three batters wh...

Impact Junis was far from dominant, but he still came up just one out short of a quality start in his longest outing of the year. He was beaten by a Brendan Donovan RBI double in the second inning and a Tommy Edman solo homer in the fourth, and his teammates couldn't manage to put a single run on the board. Junis now owns a 1.74 ERA in 20.2 innings so far this season.

Curt Casali - Homers in win Casali went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Casali capped off a five-run eighth inning with his blast off Cardinals reliever T.J. McFarland. This was Casali's first homer of the season, and just his third extra-base hit. The catcher is slashing a solid .256/.333/.372 with five RBI, four runs scored and two doubles through 48 plate appearances. He'll likely continue to split time behind the dish with Joey Bart, though Casali's been the more consistent of the Giants' two backstops in recent games.
