Giants ace Logan Webb’s recent struggles on the hill are a clear reflection of San Francisco’s battered starting rotation.

SAN FRANCISCO — Logan Webb has long joked that he’s not a strikeout pitcher. In the past, the San Francisco Giants ace’s reticence was warranted. The numbers, though, are hard to deny.

Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto drove in two runs apiece, Francisco Lindor homered among three hits and scored three times, and the New York Mets opened a three-game road series against the San Francisco Giants with an 8-1 win Friday night.

The Giants offense and Logan Webb came out flat in another lackluster loss to the New York Mets on Friday at Oracle Park.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants’ rotation took a hit when the team optioned Hayden Birdsong to Triple-A Sacramento following the worst start of his career. On Friday, that unit took another blow.

The Mets have reclaimed first place in the National League East following a sweep of the Angels earlier this week. New York has won four in a row. The bottom of the batting order has started to hit for the Mets. Brett Baty has hit in six straight games with 7 hits in 19 ABs.

San Francisco Giants' Logan Webb said his group chat is a fan of swing-offs to decide extra innings in games.

The A's are primed to be active at the MLB trade deadline and could strike a deal with their former neighbor across the bay.
