SAN FRANCISCO–San Francisco Giants starter Logan Webb delivered another strong eight-inning performance, and the Giants were able to salvage a game in this series with a 5-1 win over the Cubs Sunday at Oracle Park.

The Giants looked—well, were completely lifeless in the first two games in this series. Landen Roupp and Trevor McDonald were smoked in the first two games of this season, and the Giants could only back them up with a run in each game.

Logan Webb threw eight shutout innings against the Nationals on Monday night, but Keaton Winn blew the save. All the talk was whether Tony Vitello should have had Webb go back out for the ninth inning, or whether Webb should have volunteered to go back out for the ninth.

Today, Webb went another eight innings, and struck out seven, while giving up just one unearned run. The run scored in the top of the eighth. Tony went out to visit Webb, but Webb made it quite clear that he wanted to stay in the game, and the Giants’ rookie manager rightfully obliged.

Webb’s day ended on an incredible catch by Jung Hoo Lee at the wall in right to take away extra bases from Michael Busch. Webb specifically waited until Lee got back to the infield, so the Giants’ ace could let his appreciation be known for Lee.

In his three starts since returning from the injured list, Webb had given up just two runs—one earned—over 23 innings. Webb seems to be back to his old self.

Now the question is whether the Giants will entertain the prospect of trading their longtime ace. In a season like this, anything is on the table, especially a trade that could nab some major prospects. However, unlike hitters, starting pitchers tend to stay in their primes well into their 30s, occasionally even their early 40s.

Players like Luis Arraez and Rafael Devers—the latter, if the Giants are willing to eat a large chunk of his contract—will also nab the Giants some major prospects. At which point, they can keep Webb, and surround him in the rotation with talented young aces. Webb feasibly could be in his prime through 2037. We will just to see what happens over the next 50 days.

For those of you wondering, the Giants gave Webb the run support he needed. They broke through for three runs in the bottom of the fifth when Drew Gilbert knocked in Jung Hoo Lee with a double, and Matt Chapman hit a home run to left-center.

The Giants tacked on runs in the seventh and eighth, and Caleb Kilian threw a 1-2-3 top of the ninth.

The Giants go 2-4 on the homestand, and improve to 29-43 overall.

Now, it’s off to Atlanta, or shall I say Cumberland, to take on the best team in Baseball in the 46-25 Braves. Good luck, Giants!

For Tuesday night for San Francisco RHP Adrian Houser (2-6 ERA 5.54) will go up against Atlanta’s RHP Grant Homes (4-2 ERA 4.05) in the series opener on Tuesday. First pitch will be at 7:15 p.m. in Georgia, 4:15 p.m in San Francisco.
