The San Francisco Giants’ starter for tonight’s Game 5, Logan Webb, tossed 7 2⁄3 scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 4-0 win in Game 1 of the NL West clubs’ NLDS matchup, giving up five hits and striking out 10 batters, and he is starting again tonight.
So what did the Dodgers learn about the right-hander in that game? Or in the other six starts he’s made against LA in his career that they can apply to tonight’s game?
“I think that you look at what Webb’s done to us and obviously he’s thrown the baseball really well against us and I think it just goes back to that big part of the field mindset,” Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts said on the off-day yesterday.
