Littell (2-0) got the win in Sunday's 6-4 victory over the Dodgers, striking out two in one inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

In another bullpen game for San Francisco, Littell was brought in with two on and none out in the second inning and was able to escape the jam unscathed. The giants went on to score two runs in the bottom of the inning to make Littell the winner. The 25-year-old has pitched well dating back to the start of August, recording a 1.11 ERA in 16.2 innings across 12 appearances in the stretch.

Littell allowed a run on one hit in 1.2 innings, taking a blown save in Friday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander allowed two inherited runners from Tony Watson to score on a Jorge Soler in the seventh inning. Littell has allowed runs in back-to-back appearances after starting August with an 8.2-inning scoreless streak. He has a 2.93 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 37:19 K:BB through 46 innings overall, while adding two saves and five holds in a versatile role.

Littell saved Friday's 5-4 win against the Rockies, recording the final out of the ninth via strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

San Francisco entered the ninth with a 5-2 lead but closer Jake McGee served up a two-run home run ad two more baserunners before Littell was called upon by manager Gabe Kapler. The 25-year-old needed just four pitches to dismiss C.J. Cron for his second save in three appearances, with a win sandwiched between them. Since being recalled August 7, Littell is 1-0 with two saves and four strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Littell (1-0) struck out the only batter he faced and earned the win Tuesday versus Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

After Jake McGee allowed the tying run to score in the top of the ninth inning, Littell was called upon for the final out of the frame. He then became the beneficiary of San Francisco's walkoff win. Through 37.1 innings, Littell has a 3.13 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 28:17 K:BB while logging one save and five holds. He's starting to see more high-leverage work, but he's not yet a legitimate threat to challenge for save chances.

Littell allowed just one walk and struck out one over two scoreless innings to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

After getting called up Saturday, Littell was able to spare a San Francisco bullpen that had been leaned on heavily throughout the series versus Milwaukee. The right-hander protected a one-run lead for two innings to notch his first major-league save and just his third save at any level of professional baseball. Littell has a 3.16 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 27:17 K:BB through 37 innings this season, as well as five holds. He's not likely to see additional save chances going forward.

Littell was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Littell was sent down in late July after he gave up three runs in one inning against the Pirates, but he had tossed 6.1 scoreless frames across his six previous outings. He's posted a 3.44 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 34 innings with the Giants this year and will provide an extra arm out of the bullpen after outfielder Steven Duggar was sent down Saturday.

Littell was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Littell has been a decent bullpen option this season with a 3.44 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB over 34 innings, but he'll head to the minors Tuesday. The right-hander could rejoin the Giants later in the year when additional bullpen depth is needed.

Littell allowed three runs on four hits and struck out one in one inning versus Pittsburgh on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Littell entered Saturday with a scoreless streak of 6.1 innings, but Pittsburgh rallied against him in the eighth inning of a lopsided contest. The right-hander hadn't allowed multiple runs in an appearance since June 15, which was one of his two turns as an opener this season. Overall, he has a 3.44 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB across 34 innings while adding five holds in 38 outings.

Littell walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning during Friday's 5-3 win over Washington. He earned a hold.

EDGE Analysis

Littell has settled in a bit since a disastrous turn as an opener June 15. In his 11 appearances since then, the reliever has a 2.89 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB across 9.1 innings. The right-hander continues to see low-leverage assignments mostly, but he's now picked up five holds with a 3.25 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 27.2 innings this year. With a 4.65 FIP, Littell may struggle to continue producing similar results.

Littell pitched a perfect inning in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Since an ugly turn as an opener June 15 versus Arizona, Littell has bounced back relatively well. He's allowed two runs on three hits and three walks in six innings across his last seven outings. The right-hander has been reasonably effective in a low-leverage role with a 3.33 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 17:11 K:BB across 24.1 innings. However, Littell may not be able to sustain those ratios -- a .235 BABIP has helped limit the damage against him so far this year.
