Giants waste Webb's effort

ARI 2  SF 1

Logan Webb had a bit of an unusual line: three walks and three strikeouts. But he allowed only three hits and got ten ground ball outs in his seven innings (27 TBF, 98 pitches) which is the kind of start we are used to seeing from him. One of the walks scored on a two-out double and that was the only damage the Diamondbacks managed against Webb. Unfortunately the Giants lineup was feeble, getting a mere three hits, one a solo homer from Michael Conforto. Arizona got another walk in the 9th (Tyler Rogers) and that was followed by another double and that was the winning run. That’s three straight losses. The Giants are a half-game out of last place.

Webb pitched like a stopper but got no help. Brandon Pfaadt started for the D-backs. This was only his third big-league game. He gave up 16 hits and 13 runs in his previous two starts but held the Giants to one run in his five frames. Three Arizona relievers struck out seven and walked none in the final four innings.

It was a short trip–the team comes home to take on the Phillies tomorrow night (6:45 PT) at Oracle. Alex Wood gets the start.

Go Giants!
