Giants' Tyler Rogers: Notches first hold

Rogers walked one and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning to earn a hold in Friday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Rogers was charged with a blown save in Thursday's loss to the Mariners, but manager Gabe Kapler showed confidence in the 30-year-old right-hander by putting him into a high-leverage situation for a second straight game. Rogers responded well with a clean inning to help preserve the Giants' three-run lead. Rogers is expected to be part of a closer committee this year, but it appears Jake McGee has the edge for ninth-inning duties to start the season.
