Left fielder Michael Conforto #8 of the San Francisco Giants can’t make a catch on a ball hit by Bryce Harper #3 of the Philadelphia Phillies for a single during the fourth inning of a game at Citizens Bank Park on May 5, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA — Logan Webb, the Giants’ ace, is supposed to be the pitcher who stops skids and starts winning streaks.
Lasting only 3⅔ his last time out, Webb failed to complete five innings in consecutive starts for the first time since August 2022. He had made 46 in between, completing five or more innings in all but three of them. It didn’t help Webb’s case that he didn’t have Patrick Bailey , one of the best pitch framers in the game, stealing strikes for him. With Blake Sabol behind the plate, many of Webb’s changeups were called balls just below the knees.
Webb wasn’t aided by his defense, which committed multiple errors for the second time in three games. The splinters of wood flew right back toward Webb, right along with the baseball, obscuring his view and preventing him from fielding the comebacker — at 48.6 mph, the second-softest piece of contact by either team. Thairo Estrada fielded it, tumbling to the grass, but his throw to first was too late, and Bohm had crossed the plate.Miscues loom large in SF Giants’ series-opening loss to Phillies
