SF Giants break out to back up Logan Webb, snap skid against Cubs
CHICAGO — For the second time in nearly 60 years, the Giants went three straight games with four or fewer hits entering Saturday’s game here against the Chicago Cubs. In one inning, they ensured that sluggish streak would not extend to four and, in the process, helped them snap a five-game losing streak.
That was more than enough for Webb, who allowed just two runs in seven innings of work, to get the win in his seventh consecutive start against NL Central opponents, the longest active streak by any pitcher in the majors against a single division. Firing a slider past Christopher Morel on his 102nd and final pitch, Webb retired 17 of the final 19 batters he faced, after the Cubs scored runs in the first two innings.
