Logan Webb of San Francisco Giants on Track to Do Something Never Done Before in 2023
The San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres on Monday night at Oracle Park 2-1.
While Blake Snell's performance for the Padres could help him cement the Cy Young award in the National League, Giants' pitcher Logan Webb also delivered a great effort and got the win.
The right-hander went all 9.0 innings, giving up just one run on nine hits. He walked none and struck out seven. He's now 11-13 on the year and owns a 3.25 ERA.
He's also on track to make some unique baseball history this season.
Per @OptaSTATS on social media:
Logan Webb of the @SFGiants had never thrown a complete game in the majors before this year. He threw his second tonight and now leads MLB with 216.0 IP.
