Ninth-inning bullpen meltdown ruins another great Webb outing

The Chicago White Sox are the worst team in baseball this season. Before Wednesday, they had the worst winning percentage in baseball history since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders. But their relentless losing was no match for the San Francisco Giants’ inability to hit Wednesday, as Logan Webb’s eight-inning gem was wasted when a bullpen meltdown led to a 6-2 loss. Now, the White Sox are only the worst team since the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics!

Webb went eight innings, allowing two runs and five hits while striking out six and walking none. Chicago’s runs came on a groundout and two consecutive flyouts, and the Sox never had more than one runner on base at the same time.
