Gearrin tossed two scoreless innings while striking out four in a 12-4 loss to the Padres.
The veteran reliever was called upon to calm a bullpen that surrendered 11 runs, and he did just that with two scoreless frames. Gearrin has provided strong results early on, posting a 1.08 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 8.1 innings. He also has walked eight batters over that span, something he will have to work on if he wants to avoid a huge regression. The Giants have several late-inning righties they rely on, so Gearrin isn't anything more than a middle-relief option at this point.
