J. D. Davis solo HR in the 4'th inning was all the run support Logan Webb needed to complete a 9-inning shutout as the Giants ended the official first half on a positive note. Key Lines:
J. D. Davis 3B- 1 for 4, HR(11). ERA= .277. Davis batted cleanup and delivered the game winning hit. Still marveling the Mets gave him up along with 3 pitching prospects for Darin Ruf. Even if the Giants whiff on the prospect package, Davis for Ruf straight up is still a huge win.
Logan Webb RHP- 9 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 10 K's, GO/AO= 10/4. ERA= 3.14. Excuse the language but it was alike Webby just said F*** run support. They can't win if they don't score. Now that is a true ace! Game took less that 2 hours. Webb only threw 103 pitches. He finished it off by striking out the side in the 9'th. I don't think any of those hitters came close to making contact. Only 1 of his 10 K's was non-swinging.
The Win gives the Giants a 2-game win streak and a series win to end the official first half . They sit 2.5 games behind the Dodgers and D'Backs in the NL West(Dodgers lead by percentage points). The Giants lead the race for the final Wild Card playoff berth by 0.5 games over the Phillies.
The Giants get a much-needed 4 day R&R which they will need to ahead of the longest road trip of the season, 11 games including a make-up game in Detroit 7/24.
