The Giants had no hits for five innings, and Logan Webb was done after four frames in his second-shortest start of the season.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants brought two batters more than the minimum to the plate, Logan Webb lasted only four innings and San Francisco lost its 13th game in 17 tries this season against the Dodgers, 5-0, Friday night at Oracle Park.Giants hitters were so hopeless Friday night that only three made it to first base, and none advanced to second.
Brandon Crawford followed with the Giants’ best-hit ball of the evening, a 382-foot fly ball that left the bat at 101 mph. For a moment, the crowd rose to its feet and looked on in anticipation of a home run that could have cut the deficit in half. But Cody Bellinger ranged over from center field and snared it with a leaping grab at the wall.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled May, who was making his fifth start back from Tommy John surgery, after five innings and 69 pitches, with his no-hit bid still intact. It was the ninth time this season a Dodgers starter had taken a no-hit bid through five innings, twice against the Giants .Unlike May and the Los Angeles relievers that followed him, nothing came easy on Friday for Webb, which was a departure from his previous seven starts and seemingly most times he toes the rubber.
Webb’s troubles came to a head in the fourth inning, when the Dodgers strung together three two-strike hits that drove in runs, after Justin Turner led off the inning with a double to left field. It took Webb 36 pitches to escape the inning, which also ended his night.
