Logan Webb reached the eighth inning to guide the SFGiants to a win over Houston in the series finale at Minute Maid Park.
Wilmer Flores got a run back in the ninth with a solo shot into the Crawford Boxes in left, and reliever Camilo Doval closed the Astros out for a second straight day.The first two innings of Webb's start brought back memories of 2022 when a league-worst defense repeatedly cost the starters extra pitches. Two misplays in the first two innings led to Webb throwing 46 pitches to record the first six outs, but he did a remarkable job of getting back on line.
Over the next four innings, Webb threw 11, nine, nine and nine pitches, with that last frame being against the heart of the order. A day after Anthony DeSclafani threw eight shutout innings, he reached the eighth by throwing just seven pitches in the seventh. Webb wouldn't make it out of the frame, but it was still a third straight start of at least 6 2/3 innings and just two runs allowed. Through seven starts, he has a 3.80 ERA.Slater showed off all his best skills -- and his Mustache May look -- while putting the Giants on top in the sixth. Joey Bart kicked the inning off with a single and went to second on LaMonte Wade Jr.'s sacrifice bunt, and Slater brought him racing home by going with a low curveball and lining a single into right.
