SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants’ offense still isn’t firing on all cylinders, but with Logan Webb on the mound, it didn’t have to be.

Webb fired his second career shutout and third complete game to carry the Giants to a 1-0 win over the A’s in the final Bay Bridge Series game at Oracle Park.

Webb logged a 6.65 ERA over his first four July starts, the second-highest mark in any month in his six-year Major League career, but he returned to his All-Star form on Wednesday night, allowing only five hits while walking one and striking out six in the 106-pitch gem. The 27-year-old right-hander has now completed at least seven innings in 12 of his starts, the most in the Majors, and owns a 3.52 ERA over an MLB-high 144 1/3 innings this year.

Webb’s pitch count stood at 96 after eight innings, but he jogged back out to the mound in the ninth and retired Brent Rooker on a lineout to third base and Shea Langeliers on a groundout. Abraham Toro reached on a two-out single to right field, but Webb coaxed another groundout from Seth Brown to end the game and complete his first shutout since July 9, 2023, against the Rockies.

Webb outdueled former Giants teammate Ross Stripling, who gave up one run over 5 2/3 innings in his first start in San Francisco since being traded to the A’s in exchange for outfield prospect Jonah Cox in February.

Stripling entered Wednesday with a 6.02 ERA, but he held the Giants scoreless until the fifth, when Mike Yastrzemski singled, advanced to third on a base hit by Marco Luciano and scored on Brett Wisely’s sacrifice fly to center field.

After splitting this two-game series with the A’s, the Giants (54-56) are now 4 1/2 games out of the final National League Wild Card spot.
