12 strikeouts in a game isn’t a winning formula for Logan Webb.
He’s reached the dozen mark twice in his career and both times, it’s come with a loss. Opening Day 2023, Webb punched out 12 Yankees in The Bronx, but he also walked two and allowed four runs on a pair of homers.
More than two years later, he’s done it again, and though the accompanying line of 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 12 K reads a lot prettier, the end result is the same. A loss for Webb, and a loss for the San Francisco Giants as they open up their weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels of I-5.
