[...] healthy, Bryan Morris contributing in Giants’ bullpen
ST. LOUIS — Reliever Bryan Morris had a worse spring than he could have imagined after the Giants invited him to try to make the club on a minor-league contract.
When those subsided, he was throwing batting practice to prepare for the Cactus League and his right foot was broken by Juan
When Morris’ foot healed and he went to Triple-A to pitch in rehab games, Ciriaco became a teammate.
The 30-year-old right-hander has become an effective and trusted reliever since his April 30 promotion.
Morris allowed five runs in two innings over his first two games, but that was understandable.
Since May 6, Morris had pitched six times without allowing a run, entering play Saturday.
Morris had some good years with the Pirates and Marlins.
Buster Posey’s hitless start Friday was his second in May. …
The Cubs changed their rotation for their four-game series against the Giants after a Saturday rainout.
The Giants will open the series Monday night against John Lackey, whom they were not supposed to face, and will miss Jake Arrieta, who was supposed to pitch Thursday.

The Giants are the last team in the majors not to have a three-run homer.
