Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman discuss the rough debut from Jack Leiter, Logan Webb continuing to absolutely spin for the Giants, discuss things they love & hate, give their good, bad and Uggla for the week and react to the new Mets city connect uniforms.

Logan Webb retired 19 straight batters on his way to seven smooth innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 Thursday night to open a four-game series. “I think today's a perfect example of the type of team we are,” Webb said. Wilmer Flores had a pinch-hit, two-run double in the eighth and Mike Yastrzemski added a two-run single. LaMonte Wade Jr. delivered a sacrifice fly in the third.

Jung Hoo Lee never hit the ball out of the infield on Thursday night, and yet those in the Giants clubhouse were in awe of his performance. “Watching him day in and day out do his thing, I think the sky's the limit for him, to be honest with you,” said starting pitcher Logan Webb, who tossed seven scoreless frames. It's going to take years to decide whether or not the Giants made a smart move in handing a 25-year-old from the Korean Baseball Organization a six-year, $113-million contract.

American and Japanese baseball players gathered in the Japanese capital recently to trumpet an exhibit of historic memorabilia that celebrate the two countries' shared love of the game.

Jordan Montgomery is set to make his Diamondbacks debut when he opposes fellow left-hander Blake Snell. Montgomery and Snell will be hard-pressed to match the effort produced by the Giants' Logan Webb in the series opener on Thursday. The right-hander shut out Arizona on two hits over seven innings en route to a 5-0 victory. Snell (0-2, 12.86 ERA), the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, signed a two-year, $62 million deal with the Giants on March 19, nine days before Montgomery joined the Diamondbacks on a one-year, $25 million contract.

While the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, Blake Snell, is spinning his wheels at the starting line, last year's runner-up, Logab Webb, is off to a flying start. Webb was in mid-season form on Thursday night, as the Giants' ace was whipping out nasty changeups and backdoor two-seamers as he carved through the Arizona Diamondbacks and led the Giants to a 5-0 win in a tidy 2 hours, 12 minutes, at Oracle Park. After back-to-back singles to start the game, Webb retired 19 consecutive batters, striking out five, until he walked Christian Walker in the seventh inning.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson exited the series opener against the San Francisco Giants after a ball came back to hit his throwing arm at the end of the second inning at Oracle Park. On the second inning's final out, Giants' Mike Yastrzemski connected with a pitch, sending the ball right back at Nelson. The ball ricocheted off of Nelson's throwing arm, but Nelson was able to finish fielding the ball to complete the out.

The Giants are awaiting a doctor's visit to learn more about Alex Cobb. Cobb was scheduled to visit with a team doctor on Thursday, when the club returned to San Francisco after a 3-3 road trip against the Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays. The Giants aren't sure if Cobb will have to be shut down again. “He was going along so fast, it's just maybe a little hurdle he's going through right now with some soreness,” manager Bob Melvin said.

For the first time since offseason renovations, the Giants looked poised to have a light show at Oracle Park. Camilo Doval has been waiting three weeks for a save opportunity at home, but as the closer was warming up in the bottom of the eighth, the lineup chose a hilarious time to finally break out. The Giants scored four runs in the frame, forcing Doval to sit down, but giving Ryan Walker plenty of breathing room in a 5-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The light show will have to wait, but the Giants were happy to at least grab some momentum for once.
