San Francisco – The Giants took on the Braves for game two of a three game set Saturday night. After dropping game one, the Giants had a rebound game in mind. Giants manager Tony Vitello gave veteran right hander Logan Webb the nod. The Rocklin native came into Saturday night’s ball game sporting a 4-5 record and a 3.35 ERA to go along with it.

On the other end, Walt Weiss and the Braves staff went with righty Bryce Elder. Elder came into Saturday night’s game at 5-5 with a 3.71 ERA.

Webb worked his consistent magic again pitching seven shutout innings allowing one hit and walking two batters in the Giants 5-0 shutout of the Braves on Saturday night at Oracle Park.

The first inning passed by in a breeze with both teams going scoreless. In the second, Rafael Devers went deep for a solo shot, a treat to the Giants faithful on his bobblehead night. The Giants weren’t done offensively in the second inning after Devers’ solo shot. Drew Gilbert drove in the inning’s second run with a sacrifice fly, doubling the Giants’ lead. 

Following a two-run second, the Giants had more offense in mind in the third. After back-to-back Arraez and Schmitt singles, Devers stepped back up to the plate and delivered once again. Devers hit a three-run shot off the right field foul pole for his second home run of the night. 

Devers wasn’t the only player who had a strong game, starting pitcher Logan Webb left his mark. Webb went 7.0 innings pitched, allowing just a single hit and no runs en route to the win decision. The Giants bullpen went spotless as well, only allowing a singular walk with no hits in 2.0 innings.

Following the game, Vitello mentioned that Webb was “feeling under the weather” coming into Saturday’s game, which played a factor in him not going deeper into the ball game. Not to mention, Vitello noted Webb also was initially made to go six innings tops, but his consistency kept him out there longer than expected.

Only the second and third innings brought offense Saturday night, a lot of three-up, three downs provided a quick two hour, two minute contest. The Giants went on to win 5-0.

With Saturday night’s win, the Giants now move to 34-38 on the season as of July and the MLB Allstar Break linger. Sunday brings the closing game of the series, first pitch 1:05 pm. The expected starters are nine-time all star and former Cy Young winner, Chris Sale (8-5, 2.14) for the Braves and for San Francisco two-time all star and former Cy Young winner, Robbie Ray (6-6, 3.70).
