SF Giants offensive woes continue in extra-inning loss to Padres

SAN FRANCISCO When petitioned about Logan Webb s performance against the San Diego Padres catcher Patrick Bailey declared it was the best I ve ever seen him The numbers warrant the praise eight innings seven strikeouts no runs no walks No win Webb ended the night with a no decision and the Giants ended the night with a - -inning loss to the Padres on Monday at Oracle Park as the offensive struggles woes continued I can tell you right now there s been a lot lower points that I ve gone through in the past couple seasons This is not a low point Webb declared It s June We have a lot of baseball to play I do think there s a belief in this group in this unit that started the first day of spring training I ve been very outspoken about that how we needed to do things This is just part of baseball For all Webb s optimism San Francisco haven t gone through this cold of a stretch offensively in quite particular time The Giants have mustered only runs over their last games The last time the organization scored or fewer runs over a -game stretch was from June to July It should come as no surprise then that San Francisco is -for- over its last games with runners in scoring position including -for- tonight The Giants had no trouble setting the table against the Padres They loaded the bases with no outs in the second They put a runner on second with two outs in the sixth for Jerar Encarnacion who was activated off the injured list prior to the tournament They loaded the bases for Jung Hoo Lee in the seventh They put runners on second and third with two outs in the eighth In every scenario they failed to total The majority frustrating of these missed opportunities unfolded during the contest s final inning San Diego took a - lead in the top of the th on Jose Iglesias sacrifice fly but the Giants had their latest opportunity in the bottom of the frame when Lee advanced to third with one out on Christian Koss sacrifice bunt Matt Chapman smashed a grounder at hit mph to the hot corner but Iglesias snared the grounder and threw to first for the second out Encarnacion following two rough at-bats off the bench followed up by hitting a mph line drive hit right at first baseman Luis Arraez for the contest s final out Really the last couple innings were seemingly certain of our best at-bats Melvin revealed Throughout the curriculum of the match we smoked a few balls in the later innings We had specific opportunities early on and that ended up biting us but we couldn t push one across We had the bases loaded a couple times We left on base I thought our at-bats were good and a little unlucky in the last inning when you hit two balls that hard The lack of run sponsorship spoiled arguably Webb s best outing of the entire one where he matched his season-high in innings pitched After allowing a season-high five earned runs over five innings in his last outing against the Padres Webb heavily leaned on his sweeper far more than usual Webb threw sweepers against San Diego the the majority he s thrown in a single outing since July The right-hander only generated four whiffs but the sweeper in conjunction with the sinker and changeup helped him minimize solid contact and quiet the Padres offense There was definitely a few guys that we like sliders to Bailey declared At the same time with him it s kind of what he s feeling that day what he s throwing for strikes I think that s the beauty of him He doesn t have to have certain pitches and we can kind of adjust for what he s got that day Wade day-to-day after being hit LaMonte Wade Jr sustained a right-hand contusion after being hit by a mph four-seam fastball thrown by the Padres Stephen Kolek in the bottom of the second inning He is day-to-day Wade initially stayed in the meeting after being hit but was replaced by Casey Schmitt the following half inning
