The Giants brought in some help for their taxed bullpen Friday, recalling right-hander Scott Munter from Triple-A Fresno and designating first baseman Lance Niekro for assignment. "If you looked how the last couple of games have gone, we needed some help in the bullpen," manager Bruce Bochy said before the Giants played the second game of a four-game series with the Phillies. "With (Munter) being the freshest, it made the most sense. It had to be a roster guy at this point."
