SF Giants lose first NL West clash as Logan Webb struggles

The Giants valiantly tried for No. 11. Trailing by four runs, they managed a three-run rally in the sixth inning. Willy Adames doubled, Jung Hoo Lee singled, and two outs later, LaMonte Wade Jr., doubled the runners home.

However, with Webb out of the game, Randy Rodriguez yielded a two-run homer to Xander Bogaerts in the seventh, and the Giants now need to win Wednesday’s series finale to avoid losing just their third series of the season.

The Giants’ cause wasn’t helped by right-handed sluggers Matt Chapman and Wilmer Flores, the No. 4 and No. 5 hitters, who combined to go 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts.
