Reliever Herrin lands on the injured list

Brubaker was summoned in the top of the eighth with a three-run lead. He gave up a solo homer to Kyle Karros before returning for the ninth to close it out. He got the job done with a strikeout and two groundouts, securing the win for the Giants with his first save. Caleb Kilian was presumably unavailable after pitching in back-to-back games, but he will likely get the next save chance.

Mahle tossed a scoreless first inning, then gave up a run in the second on a triple and a balk. He’d settle in to give the Giants seven frames of one-run ball, scattering five hits and three walks while striking out four batters. The 31-year-old right-hander holds a 5.35 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and a 71/32 K/BB ratio at the All-Star break.

Freeland had allowed just one hit through four shutout frames before giving up a run on two hits in the fifth inning. The Giants ruined an otherwise solid start in the sixth as Casey Schmitt took Freeland deep for a three-run blast. Freeland would end his day after six with nine punchouts. The 33-year-old left-hander holds a 7.36 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and a 79/18 K/BB ratio at the break.

Everything went fine today. Snell, making his way back from surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow, figures to make at least four rehab starts. The Dodgers are thinking about October here and not so much about getting him back to make starts in July

Yamamoto was an All-Star last year but was ineligible to pitch in the game after starting the Sunday before the game. This year, he’s eligible and will attend but will not pitch. Roberts gave no reason for the decision. Yamamoto is pitching tonight against the Diamondbacks.

Waldron, who has an 8.49 ERA in three starts and three relief appearances in the majors this year, was on the verge of being DFA’d when the Padres placed him on the IL with a right brachialis muscle injury in mid-May. He’s back with the club now and available to work in middle relief after allowing four runs in 15 innings over five rehab appearances with Triple-A El Paso.

Brito, back from internal brace surgery, got into two games in his four days with the Padres, allowing two runs in 4 1/3 innings.

After a bullpen day Friday, the Dodgers wanted to add a long man tonight, just in case something goes wrong in Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s start. Knack had been out since the end of the end of the spring with an intercostal strain. He’d made three rehab appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing one run in three innings last time out. He’ll likely rejoin the Comets either after tonight’s game or tomorrow’s.

Hurt, who was the starter in Friday’s bullpen game against the D-backs, loses his spot for now after giving up six runs in 2 2/3 innings in his last two outings. He had a 4.88 ERA in 31 1/3 innings overall.

Barnes, who was sent down to Triple-A on July 2, is now off the 40-man roster to make room for Landon Knack. He has a 7.00 ERA over nine innings in three appearances for the Dodgers this year.
