San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb pitches against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first inning of their MLB game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Thursday, April 18, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — While the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, Blake Snell, is spinning his wheels at the starting line, last year’s runner-up, Logab Webb, is off to a flying start.
Webb completed seven innings while allowing just two singles and a walk as he dominated a potent Diamondbacks team that has averaged 5.6 runs per game this season.Shortstop Nick Ahmed, facing the Diamondbacks for the first time since he left the organization after becoming the longest-tenured shortstop in franchise history, made a pair of sensational plays to keep Webb’s gem intact.
In center field, Jung Hoo Lee put on a clinic in route-running when he chased down a blast by Jake McCarthy that would’ve been at least a double, if not a triple had Lee not caught it. His second hit, a single that bounced off pitcher Logan Allen in the third inning, advanced Patrick Bailey to third base, where he later scored from on a sacrifice fly by LaMonte Wade Jr.
He’s now one of just 16 big leaguers to average at least six innings per start since the beginning of the 2022 season. And he leads all big leaguers in innings since then.
