Giants' Logan Webb: Excellent month continues in win
Rotowire
Webb (3-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Brewers after allowing six hits and three walks in 6.1 scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Other than escaping a bases-loaded jam in the second inning, Webb didn't face very much trouble from Milwaukee. He scattered six singles and threw a season-high 106 pitches, also tossing at least six innings for the fourth time in his last five starts. The star right-hander holds a sparkling 1.80 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 33:4 K:BB over 25 frames in the month of April, but he'll encounter a tough test in his next scheduled outing on the road against the Padres.

Giants' Logan Webb: Fans 12 in tough loss
Rotowire
Webb (2-1) took the loss Friday as the Giants were blanked 2-0 by the Angels, giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits over six innings. He struck out 12 without walking a batter.
A rare Matt Chapman error at third base contributed to a two-run second inning for the Halos, and that was all the offense either pitching staff allowed. Webb's dozen strikeouts were his highest total since his first start of the 2023 campaign, but he's already recorded double-digit Ks in two of his first five outings this season after failing to do so at all over 33 trips to the mound in 2024. The 28-year-old righty will take a 2.40 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 38:7 K:BB through 30 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Brewers.

Giants' Logan Webb: Dominates but gets no support
Rotowire
Webb settled for a no-decision Monday against Cincinnati, allowing four hits and striking out 10 batters over seven scoreless innings.
Webb and Hunter Greene engaged in a pitchers' duel for most of the contest, as the game was scoreless until the Reds scored twice in the eighth inning. That was one frame after Webb departed following a masterful performance during which he racked up 10 punchouts and held Cincinnati to four baserunners (all on singles). Three of those singles came in the first two innings, and Webb finished his outing by retiring 16 of the final 17 batters he faced. The right-hander has begun the campaign in fine form, allowing just four runs while posting a 21:3 K:BB over 19 frames through three starts. He's tentatively slated for a tough matchup on the road against the Yankees his next time on the mound.

Rotowire
Webb (1-0) picked up the win after giving up one run on five hits and no walks in seven innings Tuesday against Houston. He struck out six.
Webb faced the minimum number of batters through three innings Tuesday, but Jose Altuve took him deep to lead off the fourth frame. It was an otherwise excellent outing on the road by Webb, who tossed 100 pitches and induced three double plays to keep Houston's bats in check. On tap for the star right-hander is a matchup at home against the Reds, which tentatively lines up for early next week.

Giants' Logan Webb: Fans five in Cactus League win
Rotowire
Webb recorded his second win of the spring by surrendering two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over 4.2 innings during Monday's Cactus League victory over the Rockies.
Webb navigated around trouble in the early going, giving up an RBI double in the second inning and a two-run homer in the third, but he still managed to come away with the win and had his swing and miss stuff working. Skipper Bob Melvin announced in February that Webb would serve as the club's Opening Day starter, so now it's just a matter of continuing to ramp up in preparation for the start of the 2025 regular season.

Giants' Logan Webb: Confirmed as Opening Day starter
Rotowire
Giants manager Bob Melvin announced Friday that Webb will start Opening Day against the Reds on March 27, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The right-hander has firmly established himself as San Francisco's ace, so it's no surprise he'll be taking the ball in the season opener. It won't be the most favorable matchup at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park, however. Webb made 33 starts in each of the past two seasons and posted a 3.47 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 172:50 K:BB across 204.2 innings during 2024.

Giants' Logan Webb: Six strong innings in win
Rotowire
Webb (13-10) got the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday after throwing six shutout innings while allowing four hits and a walk. He struck out three.
Webb was staked a seven-run lead by the third inning and that lead grew to 10 by the fifth. Still, he never let up and tossed his seventh outing of at least six scoreless innings this season. Tuesday was likely Webb's final start of the season. He'll finish as one of a handful of pitchers to surpass 200 innings this season and he currently sits 10th in the National League with a 3.47 ERA. Overall, Webb owns a 3.47 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 172:50 K:BB in 204.2 innings.

Giants' Logan Webb: Short start in loss
Rotowire
Webb (12-10) allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings to take the loss Friday versus the Padres.
Webb failed to complete five innings for the first time since May 5. With the Giants essentially out of playoff contention, it appears manager Bob Melvin won't ask for too much of Webb down the stretch, especially since the ace has hit a rough patch with 17 runs allowed (16 earned) on 29 hits and six walks over his last 21 innings. The right-hander is now at a 3.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 161:47 K:BB through a major-league-leading 193.2 innings over 31 starts. Webb's next start is set to come on the road, but it's unclear if it'll be in Baltimore or Kansas City, as the Giants could get Robbie Ray (hamstring) back some time next week.

Giants' Logan Webb: Allows 10 hits in win
Rotowire
Webb (12-9) picked up the win over the Padres on Saturday, allowing three runs on 10 hits and two walks over six innings while striking out three.
Webb got knocked around early, allowing four consecutive batters to reach to open the contest, which would lead to two early runs coming across for San Diego. The right-hander gave up 10 hits on the night, which matched his season high, while allowing the leadoff man to reach in four of his six innings on the mound. However, he still managed to record his fourth quality start in his last six outings in addition to securing his 12th win of the campaign. Webb has now won five of his last six decisions (spanning eight starts), though he's also failed to record more than four strikeouts in three straight.

Giants' Logan Webb: Submits quality start
Rotowire
Webb allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.
Webb had a rough fifth inning, but other than that, he was his usual steady self. With the Giants' rotation in shambles due to injuries, getting a longer start out of Webb is a positive for the team's situation. He's gone at least six innings in 10 straight appearances, posting a 2.86 ERA over 66 innings with a 61:14 K:BB in that span. That's just a bit better than his 3.12 ERA for the year, which comes with a 1.22 WHIP and 97:26 K:BB across 112.1 innings through 18 starts. Webb's next start is projected to be at Atlanta.
