The San Francisco Giants put an end to the Seattle Mariners’ four-game win streak with a shutout victory on Tuesday night. The Giants were led by starting pitcher Logan Webb, who threw seven shutout innings and allowed just four hits while striking out seven batters. Webb was backed up by a stellar performance from the Giants’ bullpen, which combined to throw two scoreless innings and preserve the shutout.
The Giants’ offense was led by catcher Buster Posey, who went 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Posey’s first RBI came in the top of the fourth inning on a single that scored Brandon Belt. He then added an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning with a sacrifice fly that scored Evan Longoria.
The Giants’ defense also played a big role in the victory, as they turned two double plays and made several key defensive plays throughout the game. The Mariners had their chances to score, but the Giants’ defense was able to keep them off the board.
The win was a big one for the Giants, as it snapped a four-game losing streak and put them back in the win column. It was also a big win for Webb, who earned his first win of the season and showed why he is one of the Giants’ top young pitchers.
The Giants will look to build on this win as they continue their series against the Mariners on Wednesday night. With another strong performance from their pitching staff and some timely hitting from their offense, the Giants could be looking at another victory.
