Logan Webb vs. Hayden Wesneski
The San Francisco Giants game two of their three-game road series against the Houston Astros tonight.
Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-handed ace Logan Webb. The Giants opted to skip Landen Roupp’s first start of the season due to the extra day off after Opening Day, allowing Webb to make his second start of the year. His first start was, of course, Opening Day against the Cincinnati Reds in which Webb allowed three earned runs on six hits with five strikeouts and three walks. Not the most ideal start to the season, but the Giants got the win regardless.
He’ll be facing off against Astros right-hander Hayden Wesneski, who will be making his first start of the year. He ended the 2024 season, his third in the majors, with a 3.86 ERA, 4.51 FIP, with 67 strikeouts to 21 walks in 67.2 innings pitched over 28 games (with seven starts).
Willy Adames and Wilmer Flores have had pretty good luck against Wesneski. Adames has averaged .400 in five at-bats, with a home run and three RBI; and Flores has averaged .500 in four at-bats, with a home run and two RBI.
Meanwhile, Yordan Alvarez has probably the best history against Webb, averaging .429 in seven at-bats with a home run and two RBI. Christian Walker also has decent numbers against him, with a .273 average in 22 at-bats, including an RBI.
