An hour-long rain delay at Coors Field didn’t take Logan Webb out of his zone.
Webb held the Colorado Rockies hitless through his first five innings as his teammate whipped up a four-run lead for him in the San Francisco Giants’ 6-1 win. Sean Bouchard’s single up the middle with one out in the sixth broke up Webb’s no-hit bid, prompting manager Gabe Kapler to pull Webb immediately from the game at 66 pitches.
It wasn’t immediately clear why Webb was pulled, but it could be to preserve the young pitcher’s arm after a delayed start having pitched a career-high innings this season (187.1 innings and 31 starts). There’s no need to overwork the 25-year-old starter who can be a centerpiece on Giants teams to come.
