Logan Webb pitched seven strong innings, Willy Adames hit a two-run double and the San Francisco Giants beat the Houston Astros 3-1 on Tuesday night. Adames' double down the left-field line scored Christian Koss and Patrick Bailey. Heliot Ramos later added a solo homer, his third of the year, and that was all Webb (1-0) would need.

San Francisco Giants (4-1) vs. Houston Astros (2-3) Houston; Wednesday, 4:10 p.m. EDT PITCHING PROBABLES: Giants: Landen Roupp (0-0); Astros: Framber Valdez (1-0, 0.00 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, four strikeouts) BETMGM SPORTSBOOK LINE: Giants -137, Astros +116; over/under is 8 runs BOTTOM LINE: The San Francisco Giants visit the Houston Astros looking to continue a three-game road winning streak. Houston went 88-73 overall and 46-35 in home games a season ago. The Astros averaged nine hits per game last season while batting a collective .262 and slugging .418. San Francisco went 80-82 overall and 38-43 in road games a season ago. The Giants scored 4.3 runs per game while allowing 4.3 in the 2024 season.

Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants continued his impressive form by hitting a double in his third consecutive game on Tuesday. Batting third and playing center field, Lee went 1-for-4 in an away game against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park in Texas. After producing hits in four straight games since Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds, Lee showcased his power with doubles in each of the last three games.

Logan Webb is a different pitcher now than he was last year. Webb turned in the first of many quality starts as the Giants (4-1) beat the Houston Astros (2-3) on Tuesday night at Daikin Park, 3-1, allowing one earned run over seven innings with six strikeouts, the only blip on his line being a solo home run. “The more you throw in this game, the more you have to adapt,” Webb said. As far as mixing it up, Webb continued employing a five-pitch mix after doing so in Cincinnati, relying primarily on his sinker (43 pitches) and sweeper (24) while mixing.in changeups (14) four-seam fastballs (seven) and cutters (12).

It's the move for any milestone, from a first hit (which Christian Koss is chasing) to a 100th (Tyler Fitzgerald is one away). It's a way to commemorate big homers, big wins or your 200th double, but the Giants are putting a twist on the tradition this season. Logan Webb had a glass case in his locker after Tuesday's 3-1 win, but if the Giants come out on top again on Wednesday, it won't belong to him anymore. Willy Adames had one, too, but he might not be the owner for long, either.

Logan Webb went seven strong innings and faced only 23 batters as the Giants rode power hitting and double plays to a 3-1 win.

Logan Webb is a different pitcher now than he was last year. At his core, he remains the Giants' ace of staff. Webb turned in the first of many quality starts as the Giants (4-1) beat the Houston Astros (2-3) on Tuesday night at Daikin Park, 3-1, allowing one earned run over seven innings with six strikeouts, the only blip on his line being a solo home run. One of baseball's best ground ball pitchers, Webb induced three double players, none of which were bigger than the one in the sixth inning.

Torpedo bats have dominated sports conversations this week, and the latest commentator to weigh in on the debate has been longtime San Francisco Giants' broadcaster Mike Krukow. Per Alex Simon of SFGate, Krukow was asked about the new bats during his Monday appearance on the Bay Area "Murph and Markus" morning talk show, and the former big league pitcher made and interesting comparison to a bat popularized in the early 2000's by a former Giants' legend. “Remember when they had the maple wood bats when Bonds was using them and everyone saw Bonds hitting the ball a third of the way across McCovey Cove,” Krukow said.

Baseball has been a big part of Bay Area History, but the A's leaving Oakland brought an end to the long standing Battle of the Bay. Then Ben Taylor -- the president of the San Jose Giants, the Minor League affiliate of the San Francisco Giants -- had what some initially thought was a far-fetched proposal.

The torpedo bat became the talk of baseball after the New York Yankees hit 15 home runs — including nine on Saturday  — over three games against the Milwaukee Brewers. The bats, true to the name, feature a torpedo-like shape and are custom-made, designed to ensure the densest part of the bat is where a hitter makes the most contact. “I've always thought that baseball's been behind the curve in terms of technology and creating the right equipment for every player,” said Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. The bats are the invention of 48-year-old Aaron Leanhardt, earned his bachelor's in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan and his doctorate in physics from MIT.

It's called the “Battle of the Bay 2.0." The Oakland Ballers and the San Jose Giants are set to face off on Wednesday as they reimagine a beloved Bay Area baseball tradition.

With the regular season underway for the San Francisco Giants, the franchise must be pleased with the early results. To start the campaign, the Giants are off a nice 3-1 start. Since San Francisco has been under the .500 mark for the last three seasons, getting over that hump and trying to compete for a playoff spot is the goal this year. After the offseason, the Giants were able to have an improved lineup thanks to the addition of Willy Adames in the middle of the batting order.

The first weekend action on the farm.

The San Francisco Giants know that if they want to improve this season, they need players to step up in their lineup. In 2023, he put together the best season of his career with a 2.7 WAR across 456 plate appearances. Battling a balky knee that required a Tenex procedure, Flores appeared in only 71 games and made 242 plate appearances. Were it not for the player option in his contract, San Francisco would've likely moved on from him last winter.

Veteran starting pitcher Justin Verlander landed with the San Francisco Giants on a one-year, $15 million deal this offseason, departing the Houston Astros, the team he was with since he was traded from the Detroit Tigers in 2017. Verlander opened up on the process of leaving the Astros and his conversations with owner Jim Crane before signing with the Giants as he returned to Houston on Monday. “I was talking with Jim a lot,” Justin Verlander said, via Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle.

Wilmer Flores hit his third homer of the season and drove in four runs to lead the San Francisco Giants over the Houston Astros 7-2 on Monday night. Giants starter Jordan Hicks (1-0), who grew up in suburban Houston, allowed only a first-inning single and struck out six in six innings. There were two on with two outs in the sixth when Flores sent a slider from Luis Contreras into the left-field seats to make it 5-0. The homer came after Flores hit an RBI single in the second to give San Francisco an early lead.

On the back of their starter, the Giants were able to win the game 7-2. The starting pitcher for the game was Jordan Hicks. Taking the mound at Daikin Park was special for the right-hander. Per the San Francisco Giants official X account, Hicks invited 90 friends and family members to come watch him make the start against his hometown club.
