Logan Webb had to work hard against the Nationals lineup. They put lots of balls in play and racked up nine hits against him but only plated one run. Webb managed to come up with big strikeouts (seven total) when he needed them. This same lineup tacked a five-spot on Anthony DeSclafani in the 1st inning on Monday night in that weird 5-1 loss. TonyD followed that with six scoreless. He gave up six singles and one double in that inning. Webb gave up eight singles and one double and walked only one in his seven frames. Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval took the 8th and 9th and sealed the win.
Casey Schmitt made his debut. He turned a lot of heads in Spring Training and was on the fast track to the majors. With Brandon Crawford sidelined they started him at shortstop. He started a key double play in the 3rd to help out Webb and then blasted a homer in the 4th to give the Giants a 3-0 lead. Schmitt was a 2nd-round pick (#49 overall) in 2020. He's from Chula Vista and went to San Diego State. Patrick Bailey (#13) and Kyle Harrison (#85) were in the same draft class. I'm excited about seeing the young players in the system get their opportunities. Schmitt certainly made the most of his first chance!
It's a getaway game tomorrow (12:45 PT) and Sean Manaea takes the hill. The team travels to Arizona for four on Thursday.
Go Giants!

Schmidtt replaced Cal Stevenson. However, Bruce Johnson is on a rehab assignment in Sacramento and Crawford will probably be back soon, so Schmidtt will probably not be around long. Darin Ruf was DFA'ed.
It's Schmitt, not Schmidtt.
And Bryce, not Bruce.
