    Logan Webb received a no-decision in Wednesday’s quality start against the Reds, allowing two runs on five hits over six innings.

    Webb struck out six and walked one. He allowed a solo homer to Hector Rodriguez but otherwise pitched well enough to win. San Francisco’s bullpen blew a six-run lead in the ninth, robbing him of the victory. Landen Roupp was originally scheduled to start this one before the Giants swapped his rotation spot with Webb. His next start lines up on the road against the Pirates.

James Schiano explains why Roman Anthony's latest Triple-A performance suggests a return to the Red Sox lineup could come as soon as Friday in time for a crucial series against the Yankees in the Bronx.

    With the Giants hoping for their first sweep of the season, they will turn to their ace on Wednesday. That means he will be flipped with Landen Roupp, who will now start on Thursday against the Diamondbacks. Webb last pitched on Friday against the Red Sox, so he will be on just four days’ rest, but he also only threw 2 2/3 innings in that outing.

    Webb also issued a pair of walks in the abbreviated outing while striking out one. All of the damage against him came in the third inning, as Willson Contreras clobbered a three-run homer before the Red Sox tacked on another pair. It’s the shortest start that Webb has made all season. The 29-year-old hurler got just four whiffs on 70 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 30 percent. He’ll try to put this one behind him as he brings a 3.75 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 112/35 K/BB ratio (141 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Reds.

    Webb tossed two scoreless innings, then gave up a run on three straight hits in the third. The three hits were three of only four Webb would allow over six innings of one-run ball. He struck out seven. The 29-year-old right-hander has been outstanding over his last four starts, giving up four total runs. He’ll take a 3.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and a 110/32 K/BB ratio across 139 innings into a start against the Red Sox in Boston on Friday.

    Webb walked one batter and struck out two in this one while throwing 66 percent of his pitches for strikes. Shockingly, he had just three total whiffs and a three percent swinging strike rate. Yes, three percent. Webb has just a 10 percent swinging strike rate on the season and has notched more than five strikeouts in a game once since June 14. You’re getting plenty of ratio help with Webb, but the lack of strikeouts dampens some of his fantasy value.

    Webb evened his record at 7-7 with his third scoreless start and 12th quality start in 19 tries. The Giants figure to be pretty bad the rest of the way, so wins could be hard to come by for Webb. His teammates got the job done tonight, though. Webb will next face the Tigers on Sunday.

    Webb was probably done at 96 pitches anyway, but any chance of him coming back out disappeared when the Giants scored seven runs off three pitchers in a lengthy bottom of the sixth. The big inning ensured that Webb would get his first win after two losses and two no-decisions this month. He’s now 6-7 with a 3.93 ERA overall. He’ll make his next start Monday against the Rangers. That’s trade deadline day, but the Giants have been very clear that he’s not one of the players they’re willing to move.

    Webb struck out four batters on the evening while allowing a pair of free passes. The Angels scratched out a run against him in the opening inning, then broke through for three more in the fifth including a two-run triple by Tyler Heineman. Still, Webb exited the game with a one-run lead and in line for a victory, but the Giants’ bullpen couldn’t hang on for him. The 29-year-old hurler generated 10 whiffs on 99 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 25 percent. Still 5-7 on the season, he’ll tote a 3.98 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and an 89/29 K/BB ratio (113 innings) into Wednesday afternoon’s skirmish against the Brewers.

    Webb had a shutout going until Cole Young homered with two on and two out in the seventh. That made the game a 3-3 tie, so Webb remained winless in three starts this month. He’s allowed four homers in three outings in July after surrendering just five in his previous 14 starts. He’ll face the Angels next.
  • SF Starting Pitcher #62
    Webb was a member of the NL All-Star team, but he did not pitch in the game on Tuesday. That will enable him to pitch over the weekend once regular-season games begin again. Tyler Mahle and Trevor McDonald will then follow on Monday and Tuesday against the Royals.

    The runs all came in the first. Two soft hits to left field opened the game, and after George Springer walked to load the bases with one out, Daulton Varsho hit a liner to right that a sliding Jung Hoo Lee couldn’t catch, resulting in an RBI single. Kazuma Okamoto then followed with a grand slam on a ball 328 feet down the right field line. It would have been a homer only in San Francisco and in Yankee Stadium, according to Statcast. So, that’s the five runs. Only the homer, which wasn’t even a barrel, was hit harder than 72 mph. Webb allowed just one hit and one walk after the first. The All-Star gave up 12 runs in his last two starts to finish the first half 5-7 with a 3.86 ERA. Still, he’s throwing just fine.

    Landen Roupp limited the D-backs to one run over five innings in the Giants’ 6-1 win Thursday.

    Roupp was too inefficient to pull off a quality start, but he did get his first win since July 17. This does make six straight outings in which he’s failed to complete six innings. He’ll take an 8-13 record and a 4.25 ERA into his next start against the Pirates.

    Jose Cabrera yielded two runs in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a loss to the Giants.

    This looked like it might be a very short outing from Cabrera after he got a visit from the pitching coach in the first, but he did at least manage to get 13 outs. It took him 30 pitches to get the first three and then only 40 more for the remaining 10. If Cabrera sticks around after this, he’ll likely face the Phillies next Wednesday. The D-backs hope to get Michael Soroka back after that.

    Drew Gilbert hit a leadoff homer and drove in a second run with a sac fly Thursday against the D-backs.

    Gilbert’s homer to one of the deepest parts of Oracle Park checked in 407 feet. He’s hit a solid .243/.324/.392 in 329 plate appearances, but it sure would be nice if he offered any baserunning value at all; he’s 1-for-5 stealing bases this year.

    Gabriel Moreno homered for the Diamondbacks’ only run Thursday against the Giants.

    Moreno is up to .303/.383/.471 through 105 games, and he’s pretty clearly been one of baseball’s top three catchers this year. The potential has always been there if he could stay healthy, and though his durability is still in question, he’s a legitimate star right now.

    X-rays on the injured hand of Astros’ shortstop Jeremy Peña came back negative for any fractures on Thursday.

    Astros’ fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. Peña was hit on the knuckles of both his pinkie and ring finger on his left hand with a 96-mph fastball from Gerrit Cole. While he’s dealing with a bit of swelling and soreness, he shouldn’t require any sort of extended absence from the lineup. He’s considered day-to-day.

    Red Sox signed C Tomás Nido to a minor league contract.

    The 32-year-old backstop has appeared in 43 games at the Triple-A level for the Tigers this season, slashing .236/.317/.368 with three homers and 10 RBI. He’ll add quality catching depth for the Red Sox.

    Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5 with a pair of homers, four RBI four runs scored and a stolen base as the Brewers crushed the Mets 8-2 on Thursday evening.

    Chourio led off the game by lining the first pitch Sean Manaea threw for a leadoff single. He then raced around to score the game’s first run on an RBI single by Andrew Vaughn. The 22-year-old outfielder then clubbed a 389-foot (104.2-mph EV) two-run shot on a first-pitch fastball in the second that extended the Brewers’ lead to 4-0. He also started the fifth inning with a single, swiped second base and scored on a ground out off the bat of William Contreras. Chourio finished his glorious night with a 380-foot (102.8-mph EV) two-run shot off of Xzavion Curry in the eighth that capped off the scoring in the game. He’s now slashing a healthy .283/.345/.477 with 19 homers, 54 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 447 plate appearances on the year.

    Joey Ortiz went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored as the Brewers bested the Mets on Thursday night.

    Ortiz led off the sixth inning with a triple off of left-hander Sean Manaea then scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Cooper Pratt. He also singled in the ballgame. The 28-year-old infielder is having a solid, if unspectacular season at the plate, slashing .250/.316/.382 with seven homers, 38 RBI and nine stolen bases across 336 plate appearances.

    Andrew Vaughn went 2-for-4 and drove in a run as the Brewers triumphed over the Mets on Thursday evening in New York.

    Vaughn got the scoring started in the ballgame with an RBI single off of Sean Manaea in the first inning, giving the Brewers an early lead that they’d never relinquish. The 28-year-old has been swinging an extremely hot bat as of late and is now slashing a robust .310/.399/.452 on the season with five homers and 38 RBI in his 288 plate appearances.

    Jacob Misiorowski picked up his 14th victory of the season on Thursday evening, limiting the Mets to two runs on just two hits over six strong innings.

    Misiorowski punched out six batters on the night while issuing a pair of walks. All of the damage done against him came in the fifth inning as Jared Young smacked an RBI double and scored on an RBI single off the bat of Christopher Morel. The 24-year-old right-hander generated 12 swings and misses on 89 pitches in the ballgame — half of those on his fastball — while posting a CSW of 26 percent. Now 14-5 on the season, he’ll carry a pristine 1.73 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and a 222/35 K/BB ratio (151 innings) into Wednesday’s divisional showdown against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
