The Giants looked like they would whiff their opener—they struck out 17 times! But they struck back with four runs in a dramatic 9th to overtake the Reds. Jung Hoo Lee walked with one out, Matt Chapman singled him to third, and with two outs Patrick Bailey singled to tie the game. Wilmer Flores then homered to give the Giants the winning margin.
Logan Webb was not ace-like. His command was off: out of 78 pitches only 46 were strikes. He gave up six hits and three walks in his five frames and left with the team behind 3-2.
