Logan Webb started his first game at home since signing his five-year, $90M extension and after a couple of rocky frames settled in and mowed 'em down for his first "W" of the season. He gave up two runs on five hits including another homer (solo shot by Brandon Nimmo) but walked only one and whiffed eight in seven innings. He faced 25 batters and threw 98 pitches. It's exactly the kind of start the team is paying him to deliver. The lineup jumped all over Mets lefty David Peterson for four runs in the 1st (a three-run bomb by Brandon Crawford was the big blow) and they scored two more in the 2nd and another in the 5th (Wilmer Flores homer) to keep the pressure on. Both Scott Alexander (8th) and Camilo Doval (9th) gave up a run but the Giants had sufficient cushion to seal the win.
A win! How nice it is to say that!
Ross Stripling takes the hill tomorrow afternoon (1:10 PT) in the finale. UPDATE: that's incorrect. Game time is 4:10 PT!
Go Giants!

Mets starter Tylor Megill is a righty and Joc Pederson is off the IL so I expect to see him DH today. That's assuming they can put Conforto in the OF.
Megill has given up 19 H and 11 W (vs 17 K) in 21 IP so far (4 HR) so we might have a chance!
I was wrong about the game time, it is at 4:10 in the afternoon (PT).
The giants continue to have some of the same problems despite a nice win with an early rally. They were unable to do anything against the Mets secondary relievers. They strike out too much, and the bats go silent as the game goes on. Lets hope we can actually have a winning streak longer than one game.
