SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Late Friday night, Gabe Kapler called old teammate Scott Kazmir with wonderful news that the veteran left-hander would be needed in San Francisco to start the next day. The Giants called up the 37-year-old Kazmir from Triple-A Sacramento to make his first big league appearance since 2016, when he went 10-6 with a 4.56 ERA over 26 starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who just so happened to be his opponent Saturday at Oracle Park. Kazmir did well, pitching four innings and allowing only one run and two hits. He walked none, struck out two and exited after 55 pitches against the World Series champions in a 6-3 loss.
