He underwent Tommy John surgery in the off-season and missed the entire season.

He stayed with Tacoma through the season, despite battling an assortment of injuries that led to him spending significant time on the disabled list.
Falkenborg signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the season, but spent most of the year with the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s, appearing in only six major league games for the Dodgers, working 14.1 innings and finishing with a 7.53 ERA.
He did record his first major league victory on May 9, 2004, in a 14 inning game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He spent the season with the San Diego Padres organization, appearing in 10 games for the Padres, and finishing with an 8.18 ERA.
The bulk of his season was spent with the Triple-A Portland Beavers.

He was released by the Cardinals on November 20, 2007, and, on December 12, 2007, signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Dodgers.
He failed to make the Dodgers roster out of spring training and was assigned to the Las Vegas 51s, eventually joining the Dodgers major league roster on June 25.
He was designated for assignment on August 8.
He was claimed off outright waivers by the San Diego Padres on August 13.
In November 2008, Falkenborg signed with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Nippon Professional Baseball.
Used as a set-up man with the Hawks in his first season, Falkenborg performed well above expectations in the 2009 season.
He did not allow one earned run in spring training and that streak extended until the last week of May.
Teaming with rookie set-up man Tadashi Settsu and closer Takahiro Mahara, the tall righty finished second in the Pacific League in holds behind Settsu.
The trio was nicknamed "SBM", (short for Settsu, Brian, Mahara), and Falkenborg was named to the Pacific League All-Star Team.
Falkenborg ran into some trouble late in the season as he came down with elbow tightness in August.
He was taken off the active roster twice, once for the injury, and again in late September to shut him down for the season as he was having trouble recovering for the injury.

However, he was not as good in the playoffs, as he gave up five earned runs in just two innings of work for a 22.50 ERA.
Despite this, he was signed to a 2-year contract extension by the Hawks.
Falkenborg rebounded from the bad postseason to have another great season in a Hawks uniform.
Falkenborg took on the role of closer when regular closer Mahara missed most of the season due to the death of his mother, mechanical problems, and injury.
He was 1-2 with a 1.42 ERA in 47 and 1/3 innings (50 appearances), and he also recorded 19 saves, tying for the club lead with Mahara, who returned at the end of the season.
