Webb (1-1) took the loss in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings while striking out only one.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander put traffic on the bases in every inning, but Webb managed to keep the Mets off the board until the third, when an Eduardo Escobar double plated two runs. The 25-year-old was coming off two straight quality starts to begin the season, and even after Tuesday's outing he still sports a 2.55 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 17.2 innings -- although his 15.5 percent strikeout rate is a big step back from the 26.5 percent mark he posted in 2021.

Webb (1-0) pitched eight innings, striking out seven and allowing one run on four hits in a 2-1 win Wednesday over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing a one-out RBI triple to Jake Cronenworth in the first inning, Webb shut down the Padres the rest of the way, giving up just two singles. The eight innings pitched was the most of any starter in baseball so far this season. The 25-year-old has given up just one run in each of his two starts in 2022. His next start will likely come early next week against the Mets.

Webb didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Marlins, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six-plus innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander blanked Miami over six frames, but after walking Joey Wendle on four pitches to begin the seventh, Webb was replaced by Dominic Leone and watched Wendle come around to score two batters later. The win then slipped through his fingers when Camilo Doval blew the save in the top of the ninth. Webb still got his season off to a flying start, and he'll look to keep that momentum going Wednesday at home against the Padres.

Webb will be on a pitch count Friday against the Marlins, though the Giants didn't specify what that pitch count would be, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The pitch count will hurt Webb's chances at getting a win, though he'll hardly be alone in that regard, as many pitchers won't be fully built up following the shortened spring training. Webb reached four innings in his final spring tune-up start, so it's still very possible that he can reach five innings Friday.

Webb was officially named the Giants' Opening Day starter Monday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been quite a quick rise for the 25-year-old righty, who wasn't particularly highly thought of heading into last season but finished the year with a 3.03 ERA. That number was backed by the rare combination of an elite 60.9 percent groundball rate and an above-average 26.5 percent strikeout rate. Webb will take the ball April 8 at home against Miami and will be lined up to take the ball the following week against the Padres, also at home.

Webb will pitch in his first spring game Wednesday against Arizona, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Webb is coming off a stellar 2021 season, posting a 3.03 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 158:38 K:BB over 148.1 innings. He's a strong candidate to be named San Francisco's Opening Day starter, a decision that is expected to be made by manager Gabe Kapler after one turn through the rotation this spring.

Webb allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out seven across seven innings in Game 5 of the NLDS on Thursday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Three of the four hits Webb allowed came against Mookie Betts, and his only earned run came on a double by Corey Seager in the sixth inning. Webb otherwise dominated the Dodgers, inducing nine groundouts. Though the Giants came up short in the series finale, Webb allowed only one earned run across 14.2 innings while striking out 17 and walking one in two starts in the NLDS.

Webb (1-0) allowed five hits and no walks while striking out 10 in 7.2 scoreless innings to earn the win against the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Webb gave up four runs in seven innings during his final start of the regular season, but he bounced back in his first career postseason start Friday and was rewarded with the win. The right-hander needed just 92 pitches across his 7.2 innings, and he'll be a strong candidate to start Game 5 of the NLDS, if necessary.

Webb will start Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Webb will be on full rest for Friday's start after he took the mound in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Padres. The right-hander lasted at least six innings in 12 of his last 14 starts of the 2021 campaign and recorded a 2.68 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 87.1 innings during that time.

Webb (11-3) allowed four runs on six hits over seven innings Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

The only damage against Webb through seven innings was an RBI sacrifice fly by Manny Machado in the fourth inning. He allowed three straight singles to begin the eighth, including an RBI base hit by Victor Caratini, and was charged with two more runs after he left the game. The 24-year-old righty helped himself at the plate, launching a two-run homer and scoring three runs. Webb finished the 2021 regular season with a strong 3.03 ERA and 158:36 K:BB through 148.1 innings.
