SAN FRANCISCO — A promising night for the future of the Giants’ pitching staff turned into an evening filled with concern and anxiety shortly after rookie starter Logan Webb exited the game.
Right-handed set-up man Reyes Moronta exited with an apparent arm injury in the top of the sixth as the reliever crumpled to the grass in front of the mound after throwing a 97.5-mile per hour fastball to Padres shortstop Luis Urias.
A few innings after losing Moronta to injury, the Giants (66-69) lost the game to the Padres.
San Diego third baseman Manny Machado hit a leadoff triple to open the eighth inning against Giants lefty Tony Watson and scored the go-ahead run in a 4-1 Giants defeat on a one-out single from right fielder Josh Naylor.
