Kurtenbach: Logan Webb showed the new-look Giants the way forward. Can this team follow their leader?

SAN FRANCISCO — Logan Webb did what aces should do on Wednesday.

After the Giants dropped the first two games of their home series against the Dodgers — in front of a not-so-partisan Oracle Park crowd — Webb said his team was “embarrassed.” It turned Wednesday’s contest into a must-win game.

And Webb delivered, throwing six shutout innings in a 4-1 Giants win, despite a 31-pitch first frame that led manager Bob Melvin to question if he could even make it to the second half of the game.
