Logan Webb couldn’t quite pull off Disco’s 8 inning shut-out performance from last night, but he came close.
Tête-à-tête with Houston Astros starter Framber Valdez for 7 innings, Webb took the mound in the 8th against the bottom of the order and started to fray at the seams. The San Francisco Giants starter nearly skated free before his old foe, bad-breathed and foul Late-Game Homer, took the form of Alex Bregman and lifted a 2-out 2-run homer to put Houston within one run.
Scott Alexander closed out the 8th with a 3-pitch strike out against Yordan Álvarez, Wilmer Flores sneaked an insurance run over the Crawford Box wall in left, and Camilo Doval brushed off a lead off walk to retire the next three hitters and close out the 4 - 2 win and the series against the reigning World Series champions.
