On the San Francisco Giants podcast with Marko Ukalovic:

#1 Giants pitcher Logan Webb was great Sunday. He pitched a complete game shutout against the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park. The Giants won, 1-0, capping his performance by striking out the side in ninth. 

#2  Webb scattered seven hits and struck out 10 of the 31 batters he faced. 75 of his 103 pitches counted as strikes. The effort improved Webb’s record to 8-7, 3.14.

#3 Colorado starter Kyle Freeland threw a beautiful game for the 6-1/3 innings he was able to pitch before he injured himself fielding Casey Schmitt’s bunt in the bottom of seventh, an attempted sacrifice that went into the books as the sixth hit allowed by the Rockies’ starter. Freeland suffered a dislocated shoulder.

#4 The Giants had broken a scoreless tie in the bottom half of the fourth with JD Davis’s 421 foot home run to left center fielder. It came on Freeland’s first pitch of the frame, an 85.4 mph sinker that rose on a 30 degree angle leaving the Giants’ third baseman’s bat at 109.1 mph. 

#5 The Giants are off for the All Star break and return to action on Fri Jul 14th at PNC Park in Pittsburgh to start the second half of the season. Talk about Giants All Star representative Camilo Doval who been lights out in relief with a 2-2 record and a 2.63 ERA.
