SAN FRANCISCO Logan Webb pitched five-hit ball during seven scoreless innings to win for the first time in a month, and the San Francisco Giants stretched their winning streak to five with a 4-2 win Tuesday night against the Kansas City Royals.
Webb (6-2) struck out a season-high nine and walked three. He had been 0-1 in five starts since a May 13 win at St. Louis.
As you would expect, a team that loads the bases is more likely to score runs during the rest of an inning than it is when there are fewer runners on base or none.
There are multiple charts on.
Local high school star Bobby Witt Jr. hit a two-run double and had his first three-RBI game in the majors, Whit Merrifield homered for the first time since last August and the Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers 8-2 on Wednesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.

Only 2, Jim Riggleman (1995-99) and Joe.
A previous post told the story of Bernie Friberg, who rarely played first base during 6 season as a Cub, yet in 1925 made the first 2 outs of a triple play moments after taking over at first for.
