Giants get 6 shutout innings from Webb, beat Reds 6-3

CINCINNATI (AP) — Logan Webb pitched six shutout innings and the San Francisco Giants backed him with three home runs, beating the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 on Monday night.

Wilmer Flores, Mike Yastrzemski and Mauricio Dubón connected for the NL West-leading Giants.

Webb (3-3) gave up six hits, struck out four and walked a batter before exiting with some shoulder soreness. The Reds left the bases loaded in the second inning, but Webb didn't allow a runner past second for the rest of his outing. He got 10 groundball outs, including two double plays.

The Reds didn't help themselves defensively.

The Giants loaded the bases in the first inning against Sonny Gray (0-3) and pushed a run across when second baseman Jonathan India misplayed a potential inning-ending double-play ball.

In the Giants fourth, shortstop Eugenio Suárez misplayed a grounder that allowed Brandon Crawford to reach. Flores followed with his third home run of the season, a shot into the first row of the right-field stands.

“We had a bad day today," Suárez said. "Everybody knows. Everybody saw it. We are better than that.”

Yastrzemski hit a 430-foot homer to right-center field with two outs in the fifth, and Dubón pushed it to 5-0 with a two-out solo shot in the sixth.
