It’s four weeks into the season but Logan Webb<\/a> is on a roll for the San Francisco Giants. He didn’t throw a perfect game, but Webb’s performance was masterful. He kept the New York Mets in check as he tossed eight scoreless innings in his longest start of the year on Tuesday night. The Giants beat the Mets 5-1 to secure the series victory. The right-hander allowed only six hits while walking one and striking out four, managing to have a nice 2.33 ERA over a major league-high 38 2\/3 innings in 2024. Webb even pushed his scoreless streak to a career-high 19 innings and as completed at least seven innings in each of his last four starts. In that span, he’s 3-0 with a 0.94 ERA with three earned runs over 29 innings.<\/p>\n

According to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, Dereck Rodriguez<\/a> was the last Giants pitcher to accomplish the feat in 2018. Tim Lincecum<\/a> had a longer suck streak with four in 2011.\u00a0 But Webb has put himself in exclusive company thanks to Tuesday night’s performance.<\/p>\n

Logan<\/span> Webb<\/span>‘s <\/span>ERA is the Lowest for Pitchers with 400+ IP<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since 2022, Webb’s 3.02 ERA is the lowest in baseball of pitchers with 400-plus innings pitched. He’s gone 40-26 in nearly 600 innings. Behind him are Zac Gallen<\/a> (3.04), Gerrit Cole<\/a> (3.05), Framber Valdez<\/a> (3.10) and Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara<\/a> (3.11). One thing that stands out the most with the four other pitchers is that three have won a Cy Young<\/a> Award in the last three seasons while Webb was a finalist last year with Valdez finishing ninth in voting. What’s even more surprising is that Webb is the only pitcher of the five to not make an All-Star team.<\/p>\n
