Logan Webb threw five no-hit innings and was pulled with one out in the 6th after finally yielding a hit. He threw a mere 66 pitches but it was after an hour rain delay and he has already hit a career high for innings pitched so it was not an unreasonable decision. In fact Webb is third in MLB in IP (187-1/3) behind only Miles Mikolas (193-1/3) and Sandy Alcantara (212-2/3). If they want to baby his young arm that's OK by me.
The lineup delivered 15 hits--12 singles--and the fielders didn't make an error. The only blemish was a 9th-inning homer from Elehuris Montero off Thomas Szapucki. Cole Waites made another appearance (strikeout, single, walk). Jason Vosler is back, he had a triple. Sean Hjelle was optioned back to AAA and Lewis Brinson was DFAd.
Today's game is at 12:10 PT. John Brebbia will open. He's done that seven times and the Giants have won four of those games. He leads MLB with 70 appearances.
Go Giants!
