Logan Webb will start on Wednesday

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.

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.

The right-hander also issued four walks in the contest while striking out a pair of opposing hitters. The Guardians got to him early in this one, stringing together a walk, three singles and a sacrifice fly to push three runs across in the opening inning. He settled in nicely afterwards, but the damage had already been done. Roupp got seven whiffs on 90 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 24 percent. Now 7-13 on the season, he’ll carry a 4.34 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 130/64 K/BB ratio (134 2/3 innings) into Tuesday’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.

According to Statcast, Roupp would have given up three homers in 29 ballparks tonight. However, at Oracle Park, those three batted balls, all in the 410-foot range, produced one homer, one triple and one double. Roupp has lost four straight starts, yielding 14 earned runs in 19 1/3 innings in the process, and the Giants are an incredible 2-16 in his last 18 turns. He’s slated to pitch in Cleveland next time out.

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.

Roupp gave up two hits, walked five and struck out three. He fell to 7-11 with the loss. With the game scoreless after five innings, the drama started in the sixth inning. Roupp’s control abandoned him as he walked three of the first four hitters to start the inning. He was removed, but was clearly unhappy about it as he unleashed some words at manager Tony Vitello on the mound. The camera found Roupp tilting in the dugout as reliever Keaton Winn walked in a run with the bases-loaded. Winn was able to get out of the jam with back-to-back strikeouts, though. Roupp has a 4.22 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.

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.

Roupp stranded two runners in the first, tossed a clean second, then gave up one run on a walk and a hit in the third inning. Things got away from him with two outs in the fourth as he walked a batter, hit another, then gave up a run on a base hit. He’d walk one more before he was relieved on the mound, failing to get out of the fourth inning. The 27-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 4.12 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 114/48 K/BB ratio across 113 2/3 innings. He’ll take on the Padres in San Diego on Sunday.
