Logan Webb Falters as Giants Lose in Opener
San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb was not impressive as Max Fried, New York Yankees shut them out 7-0.
On a night where America's pastime sold out to Netflix, the San Francisco Giants weren't ready for prime time. Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb worked five unimpressive innings, giving up nine hits and seven runs (all earned) as San Francisco lost to the New York Yankees 7-0 at Oracle Park on Wednesday night. Webb also struck out seven Yankees in his start.
It wasn't the type of night that Giants manager Tony Vitello wanted to see from his ballclub. Yankees starter Max Fried was on his game against the Giants, retiring 16 of the last 18 batters he faced. And this was on a night where Yankees slugger Aaron Judge earned the "Golden Sombrero," where he struck out in four consecutive at-bats.
Judge grounded out to third in his final at-bat in the ninth inning. With his outing on Wednesday night, Webb's ERA sits at a staggering 10. 80.
But, it's just one start and Webb has time to fix whatever wasn't working for him against the Yankees. Keaton Winn, JT Brubaker, and Caleb Kilian followed Webb to the mound for the Giants, shutting down the Yankees' offense. Logan Webb's night is done.
