Giants make sure champion River Cats get just rewards

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants are rewarding players from the Sacramento River Cats after the Triple-A team wrapped up the Pacific Coast League title Friday night, beating the Round Rock Express 7-5 in Texas to complete a three-game sweep.

Outfielder Mike Gerber and infielder Cristhian Adames joined the team for Saturday night’s game against the Miami Marlins, and manager Bruce Bochy said a couple more River Cats could be called up in a few days.

The River Cats have one more game Tuesday in Memphis, where they will visit the Cleveland Indians’ top affiliate for the Triple-A national championship.
