Logan Webb continues to be one of the most dominating pitchers of the season for the San Francisco Giants, and his numbers show it.

Webb went seven innings, allowing zero runs on five hits, walking one and striking out six, as the Giants defeated the Atlanta Braves 5-0 at Truist Park.

Over his last 13 starts, Webb is now 7-0, as the Giants improve to 84-45 on the season and continue to have the best record in Major League Baseball.

During the 13-game stretch, the Giants are 12-1 that goes back to May 11 versus the Texas Rangers and over his last 73.1 innings, Webb has allowed just 12 earned runs in that span, and Webb has not allowed more than two runs in any of the 13 games, the second-longest streak since 1901

Tommy La Stella, who was robbed of extra bases on a fantastic catch by Joc Pederson to end the game on Friday night, got some redemption in his first at-bat of the night.

La Stella launched a solo home run to lead off the game off of Huascar Ynoa to give the Giants a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, and in the long run that would be the only run that the Giants would need against the first-place Braves.

Webb helped out his cause in the top of the third inning, as he doubled to left field off of Ynoa and moved to third on a base hit by LaMonte Webb, Jr.

Following the Wade, Jr., single, La Stella picked up his second RBI of the night, as he hit a sacrifice fly to Friday nights hero Jorge Soler in right field.

The Giants added three more runs in the top of the seventh and eighth innings, as Mike Yastrzemski hit his career-high tying 21st home run in the top of the seventh inning and then doubled to centerfield to score Wilmer Flores with the final run of the night for the Giants. Darin Ruf singled just before the Yastrzemski double to score Buster Posey, who singled to lead off the inning with a single.

The bullpen duo of Tyler Rogers and Jay Jackson finished off the 15th shutout of the season for the Giants, the most in the MLB this season.

Rogers gave up two hits, and struck out one, as he was able to get out of the jam without allowing a run.

Jackson came on to finish the game for the Giants, and responded by striking out the side to end the game.

NOTES: With the victory, the Giants have now been the best team in the National League for 105 days, the longest for the team since 1935, when they led the NL for 120 days, this according to STATS, LLC.

With their 84th win of the season, the Giants tie the 1993 team for the best record after 129 games since moving to California in 1958.

Webb threw a three-pitch inning in the bottom of the fourth inning, and it was the first three-pitch inning by a Giants pitcher since Madison Bumgarner during the 2010 season.

UP NEXT: Anthony DeSclafani will be activated from the 10-day injured list to take the mound in the series finale for the Giants. DeSclafani was on the IL with inflammation in his right ankle. Ian Anderson is expected to make his return to the Braves rotation and expected to make his first start since July 11, as he returns from inflammation in his right shoulder.
