DENVER —
San Francisco purchased the contract of
left-hander Patrick Misch from Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday.

To make room for Misch on the 40-man roster, the Giants had to
recall righty Kelyn Acosta from Single-A San Jose and place on him
on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow strain.

Misch was 4-2 with a 4.02 ERA in 65 innings at Fresno .

The Giants used seven pitchers in a 20-8 loss to Colorado on
Monday. Giants manager Felipe Alou could insert Misch, who made 10
starts at Fresno , if another game gets out of hand.

“That's why Misch is here,” Alou said. “I like him because he
could give us a number of innings.”

Misch walked out of the clubhouse Tuesday trying to quickly
break in his new Giants hat.

“It's great to be out here,” Misch said. “They told me to
stay on my toes and be ready whenever. I'm ready.”
