Right-hander Logan Webb will try to extend his career-best 19-inning scoreless streak Tuesday night when the visiting San Francisco Giants open a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox. Webb (3-1, 2.33 ERA) tossed eight scoreless innings to help the Giants defeat the New York Mets 5-1 last Tuesday. "I feel like me and (catcher Patrick Bailey) are really getting dialed in with the sequence and what we're trying to do," Webb said following his last start. Boston will send righty Cooper Criswell (1-1, 2.38 ERA) to the mound Tuesday.

San Francisco Giants Catcher Outshined Their Returning Former Top Prospect After welcoming in their former top catching prospect for a series, the San Francisco Giants' current catcher made MLB history and outshined the player they traded away. Author: Brad Wakai Apr 29, 2024 In this story: San Francisco Giants MLB Patrick Bailey Joey Bart The San Francisco Giants were looking for the heir apparent for their superstar catcher Buster Posey when he was coming up on the end of his career. The former National League MVP and seven-time All-Star didn't play in 2020 when he opted-out of the season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They turned to their former No. 2 overall pick from the 2018 draft, Joey

San Francisco Giants Manager Gets Honest About Underwhelming Start San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin got candid about his team's disappointing start. Author: Tyler Maher Apr 29, 2024 In this story: San Francisco Giants MLB Bob Melvin A month into the season, the San Francisco Giants are not where they hoped to be. Heading into Monday's off day, they're only 14-15 with a minus-17 run differential, putting them on track to finish the season with a similar record to last year (79-83, minus-45 run differential). It hasn't been all bad, though. The Giants have won seven of their last 11 games, winning three of their last four series. And despite their losing record, they're still in second place

After several seasons of mediocrity, the San Francisco Giants became big spenders in the offseason. The team gave big contracts to Gold Glove winner Matt Chapman, Cy Young winner Blake Snell, Japanese outfielder Jung Hoo Lee, and power hitter Jorge Soler. Chapman has been mediocre, Snell is on the IL, Hoo Lee has a sub-.700 OPS, and Soler is batting .216.

San Francisco Giants President Reveals Plan for Starting Pitchers The San Francisco Giants president reveals his plan for starting pitchers moving forward. Author: Jon Conahan Apr 29, 2024 In this story: San Francisco Giants MLB Farhan Zaidi The San Francisco Giants earned a series win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, winning another game due to how the starting pitching performed. Keaton Winn, just in his second big league season, was lights out for the Giants on Sunday. It was his third straight game of throwing six innings and allowing just one earned run, holding a season ERA of 3.18. Other starting pitchers have played a huge factor in many wins, including Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison.

Thairo Estrada and Mike Yastrzemski hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning, and rookie right-hander Keaton Winn had another strong start to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Rookie shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald added three hits for the Giants, who took two of three from the Pirates and finished their longest homestand of the season 6-4. Pittsburgh lost for the 10th time in its past 13 games.

Mike Yastrzemski has a two-year-old daughter and one-month-old son at home, so as he stood at his locker on Sunday morning and talked about the Giants' upcoming trip back to Boston, it wasn't hard to come up with a game plan for the team's day off on Monday. Yastrzemski does plan to visit his hometown of Andover, located about 30 minutes from Fenway Park, at some point, but otherwise this visit should be a lot more laid-back than the one in 2019. Back then, Yastrzemski was just a few months into his MLB life, but his visit to Fenway was a huge deal. Yastrzemski said he's not sure if his grandfather will be at Fenway Park for this second visit, and while it's always special for him to go back home, the focus this time is on resting and trying to continue to find his swing.

For the first time since his rookie season, Mike Yastrzemski will get to play on the same field that his grandfather did for 23 seasons. Yastrzemski, 33, last played in Fenway Park in 2019. With the Giants heading to Boston for a three-game series against the Red Sox starting on Tuesday, he'll have another chance to play in front of fans who have idolized his last name for generations. “Excited to get back,” Yastrzemski said Sunday morning at his locker.

Thairo Estrada and Mike Yastrzemski hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning, and rookie right-hander Keaton Winn had another strong start to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Rookie shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald added three hits for the Giants, who took two of three from the Pirates and finished their longest homestand of the season 6-4.

Keaton Winn won his third straight start with six strong innings, Thairo Estrada and Mike Yastrzemski belted their team's first back-to-back home runs of the season and the San Francisco Giants prevailed in another low-scoring affair with the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-2 on Sunday afternoon. The homers by Estrada, his fourth of the year, and Yastrzemski, his second, came as part of a three-run third against Pirates starter Jared Jones (2-3). LaMonte Wade Jr.'s sacrifice fly scored Tyler Fitzgerald with the third run of the inning. San Francisco hit multiple homers in a home game for just the second time this season, matching the blasts by Jung Hoo Lee and Patrick Bailey against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 20.

Keaton Winn and the Giants secured a series victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates with their 3-2 win Sunday at Oracle Park.

Two months ago, Keaton Winn was working his way back from a second elbow scare in less than a year. A month ago, Winn's immediate future was uncertain for another reason. After the Giants signed Blake Snell, it seemed Winn would be the odd man out once Snell and Alex Cobb fully got up to speed. Things can change quickly in this game, however, and as April comes to a close, it's hard to picture where the Giants would be without Winn, who lowered his ERA to 3.18 with six strong innings Sunday and led the Giants to a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates that clinched a winning homestand.

Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes hit back-to-back homers in the 10th inning to help the Pittsburgh Pirates outlast the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Saturday night. Reynolds led off with a two-run homer for a 3-1 lead, and Hayes followed with another shot to left off reliever Taylor Rogers (0-1). Jorge Soler answered with a two-run homer in the bottom of the inning, but David Bednar wrapped it up for his fifth save.

Giants manager Bob Melvin is confident Jorge Soler will break out of his early-season slump.

After losing on a walk-off on Friday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates won 4-3 in extra-innings over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on Saturday.

San Francisco Giants Ace Viewed as Yankees Trade Candidate The New York Yankees are viewed as an option for the San Francisco Giants ace. Author: Jon Conahan Apr 28, 2024 In this story: San Francisco Giants New York Yankees Blake Snell MLB The biggest offseason move from the San Francisco Giants this year hasn't panned out just yet. Blake Snell , the National League Cy Young Award winner in the 2023 season, has pitched in three games so far, allowing 15 earned runs in 11 2/3 innings. His 11.57 ERA is as bad as it's ever been for the left-hander. Snell hit the IL with an adductor strain, which could've been playing a factor as he couldn't get it going on the bump. At the very least, this should

Rookie right-handers off to impressive starts hope to continue rolling at the other's expense when Jared Jones and the Pittsburgh Pirates face Keaton Winn and the host San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Runs have been at a premium until the final inning in the first two games of the series. The Giants did all their scoring in the bottom of the ninth of a 3-0 win Friday before the Pirates outscored the hosts in the 10th in a 4-3 triumph Saturday. A California native who has never pitched a major league game west of Pittsburgh, Jones (2-2, 2.79 ERA) will be making his sixth career start, his fourth on the road.

It was a good time for the Pirates to hit their first back-to-back home runs of the season.
