Today begins a stretch of 10 straight road games for the San Francisco Giants, and 16 games in 16 days. Their first opponent, the Boston Red Sox, presents a difficult challenge as the Giants look to start things off on the right foot.
Thankfully, the Giants have the person they always want on the mound when a challenge presents itself: right-handed pitcher Logan Webb. The young ace has been lights out this year in six starts, going 3-1 with a 2.33 ERA, a 2.77 FIP, and 26 strikeouts to seven walks in 38.
