Giants' Spencer Bivens: Wins in MLB debut

Bivens (1-0) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Angels, covering three innings out of the bullpen while striking out four and allowing one run on one hit.

After receiving his first MLB call-up earlier Sunday, Bivens ended up serving as the Giants' bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Erik Miller. Bivens entered the game in the second inning, and the only blemish on his final line was Nolan Schanuel's solo shot. The 29-year-old righty worked efficiently through his three innings, tossing 27 of 36 pitches for strikes. He had produced a 2.81 ERA through 41.2 frames with Triple-A Sacramento prior to his promotion.
