San Francisco Giants’ Logan Webb continued his impressive streak on Tuesday night, extending his scoreless innings to 19 as the Giants defeated the New York Mets 5-1. Webb, the 27-year-old right-hander, pitched eight strong innings, allowing only six hits and one walk while striking out four batters.
The Giants’ offense provided ample support for Webb, with Mike Yastrzemski, Thairo Estrada, and Michael Conforto each contributing two hits. Yastrzemski drove in three runs, while Estrada and LaMonte Wade Jr. added one RBI each.
The Mets’ starter, Luis Severino, had a promising start, carrying a no-hitter into the fifth inning. However, Conforto broke up the no-hitter with a bloop single, and Matt Chapman followed with a sharp single. Estrada then drove in the game’s first run with an RBI single, and Yastrzemski’s single to center scored two more runs, giving the Giants a 3-0 lead.
Severino allowed three runs on five hits in six innings, striking out five batters. The Mets’ offense struggled to generate much against Webb and the Giants’ bullpen, managing only one run in the ninth inning on DJ Stewart’s RBI fielder’s choice.
The Giants’ victory improved their record to 8-0 when scoring at least five runs. The Mets, on the other hand, lost their third straight game after a six-game winning streak.
