Derek Law RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(5).  ERA= 4.08.

-Ryder Jones is showing he is ready for another crack at an MLB gig.
-Giants sign Casey Kelly to a minor league FA contract and start him the same day.  He was once a top ranked pitching prospect who has been oft traded and injured.  Not sure what he has left in the tank.  He was released by the Cubs about 10 days ago.
