Held to 3 runs or fewer for 8th time in 9 games, Giants unable to back up Webb’s 7.1 IP, 3 ER vs. Red Sox.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants’ offense appeared to wake up Wednesday, and the club should have been well-rested Friday after a long-awaited day off.Rookie shortstop Marco Luciano recorded his first hit and scored his first run of his career, and Joc Pederson smashed a late solo shot, but the Giants didn’t manage much else Friday night to back up a bounce-back start from Logan Webb in a 3-2 loss to the Red Sox, who ran their winning streak to five games.
Rebounding from the worst start of his career, Webb mostly silenced a lineup that has been the hottest in the majors since the end of June. He was shown shaking his head on the bench after the run scored, more likely lamenting the base runner he left for Rogers than Kapler’s decision to pull him. Limiting a dangerous Boston lineup to three runs on six hits, Webb lowered his ERA to 3.49, including a 2.20 mark in 10 starts at Oracle Park. He struck out four and walked none. It should have been enough to earn the win, but the Giants’ lineup returned to its slumber against Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford.
