Webb Pitches Giants to Potential Sweep
27 Aug
Summary
- Giants aim for a rare series sweep against the Reds.
- Logan Webb starts for the Giants in the series finale.
- The team faces lineup changes against a lefty pitcher.
The San Francisco Giants have an opportunity to achieve a significant series sweep against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. This potential sweep would be a rare highlight for the team this season. Logan Webb will take the mound for his 24th start, entering the game with an 8-8 record and a 3.75 ERA.
Manager Tony Vitello has adjusted the lineup to face the Reds' left-handed pitcher Nick Lodolo. Key changes include Jonah Cox leading off and Basabe batting third, while Jung Hoo Lee gets a day off. This strategic reshuffling comes amid significant pitching staff injuries, including Carson Whisenhunt's recent UCL tear requiring surgery.
Despite the team's overall 54-78 record, securing this sweep would be a notable accomplishment. The Giants have held the Reds to just one run over the first two games of the series. Webb will aim to pitch deep into the game, providing a much-needed break for the bullpen.
