San Francisco Giants Roster Report 2009-05-09
--RHP Brian Wilson earned his seventh save, four of which required four outs. No. 4 came Friday. The Dodgers put two aboard in the eighth, and Wilson replaced RHP Merkin Valdez to face Casey Blake. Thirteen pitches later, Blake took a called strike three for the final out. Wilson added a scoreless ninth.

--2B Emmanuel Burriss struggled in April but apparently never was in jeopardy of losing his job. Now, no way. He was 2-for-4 and has seven hits in four games, boosting his average from .211 to .253. On May 1, his average was .176. He had 12 hits in April and already has 11 in May.

--LHP Madison Bumgarner was elevated from Class A San Jose to Class AA Connecticut. Bumgarner, 19, was 3-1 with a 1.48 ERA in five starts, collecting 23 strikeouts while issuing just four walks.

--RHP Tim Alderson was elevated from Class A San Jose to Class AA Connecticut. In five starts, Alderson was 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA (20 strikeouts, three walks).
