San Francisco Giants’ starter Logan Webb threw 10 pitches to Washington Nationals’ hitters in a quick, 1-2-3 first, but then Joey Meneses battled the right-hander for nine pitches before he got hold of a changeup outside and lined it to right for a single to start the bottom of the second.
Keibert Ruiz worked for 10 pitches before drawing a walk, after the leadoff hit, and in the next at-bat, Dominic Smith battled Webb for 10 pitches before singling to center to drive Meneses in for the first run of the game, 1-0 Nats.
