Logan Webb vs. Cooper Criswell.
Today begins a stretch of 10 straight road games for the San Francisco Giants, and 16 games in 16 days. Their first opponent, the Boston Red Sox, presents a difficult challenge as the Giants look to start things off on the right foot.
Thankfully, the Giants have the person they always want on the mound when a challenge presents itself: right-handed pitcher Logan Webb. The young ace has been lights out this year in six starts, going 3-1 with a 2.33 ERA, a 2.77 FIP, and 26 strikeouts to seven walks in 38.2 innings, while leading the National League with just 0.6 home runs allowed per nine innings. Webb was dominant in his last outing, pitching eight shutout innings against the New York Mets — and in his last outing before that? Seven shutout innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In total, Webb has pitched 19 consecutive innings without allowing a run.
On the other side is righty Cooper Criswell, who is making a shift to the rotation after beginning his career in the bullpen. Criswell has pitched in three games and made two starts this season, and is 1-1 with a 2.38 ERA, a 3.86 FIP, and seven strikeouts to two walks in 11.1 innings. His last outing was the longest of his career, as he pitched five shutout innings against the Cleveland Guardians.
Enjoy the game, Giants fans!
