Giants’ Strickland gets his World Series ring DENVER — Reliever Hunter Strickland might not have known it when he made his 2015 debut with two scoreless innings in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, but he was about to get a fine piece of jewelry before the night was over. General manager Bobby Evans brought Strickland’s World Series ring to the game and planned to present it to the right-hander, who was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento as the 26th man allowed for doubleheaders. Evans had flown to Denver from Sacramento, where on Friday he presented rings to Triple-A players on the big club last year, including Juan Perez, Adam Duvall and Jake Dunning. Strickland was supposed to get one, too, but he was on a plane to Denver. “I keep missing out on that thing,” Strickland said Saturday morning. Strickland gave the Giants two critical shutout innings in a 10-8 first-game victory. Strickland arrived with stifling Triple-A numbers (1.66 ERA, 0.785 WHIP) — and no homers allowed. The 26-year-old allowed six of them in the postseason last year in just 81/3 innings, mostly on four-seam fastballs down the middle. “I’m mixing it up more,” he said. The thought is more about making pitches. Henry Schulman is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer. Good start: Jake Peavy allowed one hit over 31/3 shutout innings in a 50-pitch rehab assignment for Class A San Jose on Friday night. Henry Schulman
