The first hard hit ball of the night for Miami Marlins came with 2 outs in the 7th: a pinch-hit 2-out, 2-run homer to dead center, flipping a 1-run deficit into a lead. For San Francisco Giants starter Logan Webb—already 0-3 on the year with an uncharacteristically high penchant for giving up home runs—it soiled his first outing since signing a 5-year extension.
Monday’s 4-3 loss to Miami somehow felt both inevitable and impossible.
Webb had pitched 6 u2154 innings doing what he does best: staying ahead in counts, avoiding walks, and keeping the ball heavy and on the ground.
