Webb tossed eight shutout innings in a 2-0 win over the Pirates.
SAN FRANCISCO — On a night the Giants hosted dozens of players sporting World Series rings in a celebration of their 2012 title, it was their pitcher on the mound Saturday who provided the star power.
Webb was aided by his defense — Joc Pederson’s catch at the left-field wall prevented extra-bases and ended the second inning, and Tommy La Stella started a slick 3-6-3 double play to finish the fourth — but also made a web gem of his own. More than any of his nine strikeouts, his ultra efficient first seven innings or the bases-loaded jam he escaped in the eighth, Webb’s dive — or fall, as he tells it — to first base was the talk of the Giants clubhouse afterward.
In Webb’s one jam of the night, after the Pirates loaded the bases with two outs in the eighth, the Oracle Park crowd rose to its feet. It didn’t take long for the 38,049 on hand to explode once Webb fired a changeup past Ben Gamel for the third out of the inning and his ninth strikeout of the night.
Webb was given the chance earlier this season at his first complete-game shutout, after blanking the Phillies for eight innings, but surrendered a game-tying home run in the ninth. This time, the Giants let closer Camilo Doval finish off the ninth for his 17th save.
